New to this XT Malarkey...

Hi All,

I'm Craig from Bonny Scotland!

Buying a 2005 XT660X tomorrow - currently on a GSXR750 and looking forward to having some fun.

The one I'm buying has rusty spokes that I'm gonna clean up and have re painted...is this common and something I should worry about??

Look forward to meeting some of you in the near future

Craig

Thanks for that - never heard of Spoke covers so that's a new one to me and well worth looking at!

What are the normal upgrades for a 660 X???
