    fine machine

    It looks like the sidecovers might be good,
    there is one shock there so maybe it could be a nice monoshocker?
    give it that "slammed look and feel"!
    proud to say my worst idea ever was never that stupid.

        Every XS11 that succombs to this "Modification" permits a higher value for Our Stockers.

        So to answer your query, no because of the above reason, and absolutely yes, because of the "Zombie Fodder" people that watched an episode of thier favorite "Hold my beer watch me Chop This show", bought a Sawzall and 4" grinder from HF, with the misguided ambition that they're newly found skills will crown them the next winner at thier favorite biuld off competition.
        1980 XS1100G "Dolly G" Full Dresser (with a coat of many colors )
        1979 XS1100SF (stock-euro mods planned)
        1984 XV700L Virago (to be hot-modded)
        1983 XJ750MK Midnight Maxim (semi-restored DD)
        1977 XS650D ( patiently awaiting resto)

        Sometimes it takes a whole tank of gas before you can think straight.

            Jardine slip-ons and no sidecover...........pretty proud of a non- original.

            My Venturer may hit it's original retail I paid for it sooner than later.

              An 80G that's pretty much a parts bike at this point. Doesn't even look to have the original motor unless the valve cover had previously been changed.
