Glad you’re taking care of those small issues, I’m sure you’ll get it sorted out to your liking, I had the same issue with the aluminum covers, very hard to keep clean, so I painted everything a satin black, including the swing arm, I’m glad I did because the results were good. I bet yours was the only XR 1200 at the rally, I have hardly ever seen another one when I’m out traveling around. Nice video, thanks for posting it.
@@xpsgarage Didn't do the cylinders, but i did do the 2 rocker covers, the 2 pushrod covers and the primary cover. I think it turned out OK, a link to a short video of mine. th-cam.com/video/i7yXKbYyKNM/w-d-xo.html
Love your bike I have one question. How is the headlight at nite? May be taking one cross country and am just curious based on your experience. Stay safe thanks.
I am planning to buy one this week exact same bike however it seems like it was having a top end rattle.. causing me to have a second thought. Should I walk away or should I pull the trigger?
Hard to say without hearing it. The engines do seen to be a bit noisy normally. Do you know anybody you could have listen to it that might know if it's a normal sound or not? Could also use that to get a better deal.
@@xpsgarage there will be no better deal as the bike is seating at the dealership. How ever they are sailing me a 2year warranty. Even though the warranty is a little expensive I think I will take it..
Clutch basket & extra plate clutch pack…😊
I've got a black 2010 XR1200, to get those cases looking good, i found bug and tar remover by turtle wax.
Thanks, I'll give that a try.

Did you black out the cylinders also? I don't think I've ever seen another XR when I've been riding.

I've got the aftermarket daymaker style LED light in it and it's really good. At least as good as the dual halogen headlights that the Buells had.

@@milesonwheels8127 a warranty doesn't sound like a bad idea.
