This 1984 XLX61. Mine, bought new for $3499. Two mods done ... drilled-through stock mufflers, and replaced the stock headlight guts with a flame throwin Hella H4 set of guts that gave 55 watt low beam and 100 watt high beam. It wasn't just the bulb, it was also the lens and reflector.

Just give it a good smack on the ass and ride. I sure miss it. I was 24.

My 2005 Roadster is totally stock, assuming that means drivetrain. Bought it with a lousy Stage 1 setup and have done everything to bring it back to stock (stock pipes, stock air cleaner, stock carb jetting other than a 45 slow jet). I did change the seat so I'm reasonably comfortable and also changed the forward controls back to mids. Also a set of IKON shocks to replace the rusty originals. And heated grips. So is it stock enough? I have quite a few bikes and prefer stock drivetrains, only making changes for comfort. This Roadster has a nice personality in a stock state of tune.

I would have the 2075 nuclear powered Sporty with the infinite gearing transmission. I want the pulse jet option with the folding wings too. I want that in gloss black with red and yellow flames.

Those tires probably need replacement soon...
