Yes it does, I picked up a set of X-pipes from Ebay, I love the sound. Ground clearance is not to good it scrapes when I am hitting a turn hard.
Loud but not obnoxious

The rims and hubs are powder coated, with Stainless steel spokes
The fron brakes are off an XS1100, I drilled the rotors. My original hubs had dual disk set-up so the whole process was fairly straight forward. I was going to polish the rims, but thay were corroded very bad.
