Justarn Posted April 29, 2018 Author Posted April 29, 2018 Thanks guys, I almost went clip ons and after market zorsts but the stock pipes just suit it I think, looks meaner and more retro muscle imo.I think the clip ons with destroy the comfort.Probably do custom headlight and kolo Speedo next winter tho... Maybe wavey discs too:-) Quote

Justarn Posted February 21, 2019 Author Posted February 21, 2019 I've not done enough miles to know pal tbh. Only covered 2-3k in the two years I've had her.Purely a weekend toy above 10deg c:-) and I have a young son so not like I find much time usually.As a general rule xjr are bomb proof (knock on wood)100k plus is a regulatory, oil-air cooled so no head gasket to worry about, 1200cc, redlines about 10k. Add to that It's not a Suzuki so all should be good hahahaha. Quote
