    If your riding when its wet/raining all yor worried about is your back getting wet? Im more worried about the rain drops hitting me at 60+ mph, they feel like a million BB's hitting me all at once ( kinda annoying ) Then im pissed about the time its gonna take me to go and detail my bike. I guess a little water on my backside is probably the last thing on my mind.

    hey guys, thanks for all the info post after post. so about hacking off your tail. i recently picked up the new icon moto catalog...bout halfway through there is a pic of a girl on an xb....without the tail.

    studied the pic, and sunday we got to work on it. with the right tools, and patience, its not too bad. it looks like a small pair of bull horns extending just below tail light. drilled holes under taillight to illuminate lisc plate. sealed the holes. you can leave the stock turns in place, but take them off so that they dont get jacked up. i will get pics up tomm or saturday...just give me time.
