Thought I would share a couple of small things I did to the XR over the past couple of weeks. There are a few more (one pretty major change), but these are what I’m going to show right now. Make sure and check out the new gear over at the Icon 1000 website. The new [...]
I took a few pictures of the current state of my XR1200. There are a few things I still want to do, but for the most part it’s coming along pretty well. One major missing item that needs to be done is the exhaust. Still stock… Enjoy the pictures of the bike and make [...]
Next up on the list is purely cosmetic on my bike. Just cause I liked the look of the XR1200 with the belly pan installed. For the race bikes, there is actually a use for the belly pan, keeping oil off the track. You’ll notice that with the mods for street use, that’s pretty much [...]
Just a quick update on some stuff I have on the new bars I installed not long ago. I installed the 4Lock iPhone mount and the HelmetSecure helmet lock. Both were simple installs, but I took the drill to the 4Lock iPhone mount to suite my needs… see below. Icon Motosports is the sponsor of [...]
Tuning out the XR1200 is the next step on the modifications to the XR1200. From the factory, the XR is on the lean side of things and becomes only worse when you open up the air flow. To correct this problem, I purchased and installed a tuner. It’s not the most expensive or the one [...]
The second modification of the XR1200 is one that’s going to buy some time till some new shocks can be purchased. The XR1200 in it’s stock form doesn’t like to turn into corners very easily. If you notice, all the bikes in the Vance and Hines series are riding about 4″ above stock. I’m not [...]
First mod on the new XR1200 is a new set of handlebars. The stocks bars rise up about 6 inches and don’t really do much to the looks of the bike or the performance for that matter. The high rise bars (pictured to the right) came off and the zero rise bars went on. The [...]

Anybody else get the Spring 2012 Collection from Harley-Davidson in the mail box this week? What did you think?? Me, I actually found quite a few things I liked in there… when was the last time that happened? I can think of 1 over the past few years. The Half Mile jacket last year was [...]
