bad *** bike bro! I wish I could get the fat front tire on my 1200XL C. That may be a project for this winter

Question for you. I too raised tank 3". Do you ever get surging or hesitation at low gas? Every time I'm at like 1/2 gas. And I throw down the hammer the engine will sputter then suddenly kick in. I think it's the tank lift

Also check out spring struts by spitfire cycles if you love the clean strut look but want a more forgiving ride. I have an extra set for sale for 60$ if interested

Well since everyone seems to be curious about the tire and such i decided to just dig up all the pics i have and post them.

As for any kind of riding the bike only has 10 miles on it and is still not registered so i havent really taken it anywhere so i will never be able to tell the difference between the 150 and the 170.

Anyway heres the pics
