Loving this. How do you feel about the tank? Using that or going with something else?

It's insanely fun to ride, love it so far.

Loving this, going to look amazing.

It's fun to ride. Not the most practical trail bike but it still does well.

Yes, I've repacked them twice. The first time I used wrap and did it somewhat loosely. I just re-did them tighter and it's no better. I'll definitely make a 2-1 it. Has anyone used an M4 megaphone on an XS and care to share how it sounds?
