If I remember correctly Shazam's is at 117hp and 109 ft/lbs. The dyno sheet is in the new catalog and the website of the motor performance shop that isn't a sponsor here.

I know what GP means ya tool.
The trojan bike is a race bike yes but pretty damn far from MOTO GP classification.

Robino,

That bike is awesome! What bars are those? They fit the lines of the bike perfectly. All of the mods are so tasteful...gives me some great ideas for my XB9SX!

Turbo. Eric has my vote. Being somewhat local, I'm anxious to see what he's going to charge me for a setup...

Great Job man. Would love to see what it'd do to a 90incher.

Gotta vote for the turbo too...

What sort of numbers does it make, and when will the kit be publicly available?

Robino, I noticed that the mirror threads are empty on your XB. Newer Suzuki SV650S models use nice black rubber plugs in the threads that work well for the XB's. I'm sure other bikes use similar but I know those are available!!! Just in case you were looking...: )

Are those bars more comfortable than the stock S bars. Also do they come in silver. They sure look cool. Nice looking bike.

they come in bronze, black, silver and grey if i recall correctly.

they're about as comfy, a slight bit more lean needed with the rizoma setup, more of an 'elbow up' position.

Bigbuell,

I have the Crossroads bars (you can get them from American Sport Bike), which are machined aluminum and look similar to the XB12R setup. The appearance and riding position are so much better than stock. Installation was a bit tricky with the control cables, but not impossible.

Upon reflection I have to say the "Meanest" appearing street XB is Tim's (No_Rice)drab olive green streetfighter.

I still say the meanest performing street XB is Shazam's former XB9 that has been massaged into a viscious BEAST!

Bubabuell here's one source: http://www.reflectivedecals.com/stripes.htm

There are a lot of places to get it though.

Thnx. Wow, though. I guess I assumed there were pre-cut templates. Looks hard to make a perfect, true circle from straight tape.

It is tricky, but race stands help, or just pulling the wheels off and put the
stripes on with the wheels on the floor or work bench. Whatever works for you.

I get to do mine twice. I got the stripes from a different company than the one I posted
above and they are not as orange as they said they were. So I get to re-do it in orange.

Check http://www.tapeworks.com. They also have the rims stripes and theirs are precut. There is about 4 or 5 small circle sections that you apply to make one full circle.
