Hi, Yeah I have an xvs 250 here in Ireland with a nice pair of spotlights, large shape keeping bags and a backrest, with all this crap on it it looks twice the size, I also have the exhausts drilled which I would recommend, get a 7.5mm drill bit and drill 9 holes in the back of the exhausts where the hole protrudes, (around the hole) you wont be dissappointed with the sound off it when you open the throttle, I bought all my stuff off bikercom.com email elena there and ask here for stuff that fits an xvs 250 ´cos there´s isnt much stuff on the actual website that fits this thing, you have to get generic parts but they look good
