Hi newms here, I'm a little bit of a veteran when it comes to XT's My first, an XT600E many years ago (still have it, but was nicked and found minus lots of bits so selling when I can find a suitable home) then, early 2011, bought XT660X in blue (black rims)from a copper mate of mine, had it written off five months later and me too, luckily only a fractured collarbone and bruises/concussion much to the surprise of the paramedics who thought I was dead, then September bought my current mount-a white and black XT660X new (loved it so much, had to buy another), this I've just put Akrapovic cans on but the crack backfire is so loud, put baffles back in until I get AIS pipe blocked.
I believe now after that accident that no amount of dayglo will get me seen, and it's up to me to be heard before seen to help me stay upright.
Regards to all
