just picked this 79 xs 11 up, what do you think?

[DGXSER]

Had the same thought as Tod, maybe she already likes to ride, and if he can't get a blond hitch hiker on, he might have trouble with space for the GF.

Ok...not going there.

[mstic2000]

Very nice, very well did up custom job. Somebody took their time to do a really good job. A one of a kind custom job like that.........you're gonna regret it when it's gone.

[trbig]

lol.. She may already like to ride.. but he'll need a different seat.


I'm wondering how you get a final drive and shaft housing chromed?? Unless it's just shiny. Maybe powder coat?


Tod

cool ride ..

like the chrome or polished swing arm and torque tube .. wonder who built it? .... wonder if it's been seen on this site ever? Full of questions, ain't I?

[Wildkat]

But no passenger capacity so you can't pick up a blonde hitch-hiker chick on the way.

So maybe now your girlfriend will let you keep it?

[Bigfoot]

Wow, just a girlfriend an she is already telling you what toys you can keep

Keep the bike, get a new girl that likes to ride. LOL

[slow mo]

hi and welcome

really nice ride!! its great to see the xs11 possibilities,, ride safe , slow mo!!

[MTaft]

Wow, that is super cool! Before you sell it, could you post a ton of detailed pics in the members photo area. It would be cool for people to see the custom potential for these bikes.

[Fix]

Don't let her make ya sell it. I think it's gorgeous! If I had the time/cash/expertise I'd do my bike the same.

[CatatonicBug]

My girlfriend just advised me that it could be for sale so make offers or stand by for the for sale post at a later time in the proper section

Now why would you want to sell the girlfriend? 'Cause you definitely can't sell the bike!! Once you ride an XS, there's nothing else...

[darrelldaltonga]

The foward controls are custom fabricated but still connect with the the mid control section which is basically footrests now. and as far as weight and pressure i'm 270lbs and ride daily and have had no issues except for the pegs vibrating loose once. I hope this answers your question and I'll post up some more pics when the weather permits and try to get some up close and detailed


I appreciate all the comments good and bad LOL!! Everyone different

My girlfriend just advised me that it could be for sale so make offers or stand by for the for sale post at a later time in the proper section

[Brian_D]

That is a sweet looking ride.

If possible, please provide additional information on those forward controls. It appears (through my ageing eyes) that they have retained the mid-controls are are linked to the forwards. Please let me know how the forwards hold up to weight/pressure from everyday use/abuse.

[Wildkat]

That is WICKED cool!
I LIKE it!

Welcome aboard!

[darrelldaltonga]

i actually traded an older mustang for this the gentleman i bought it from paid $3500.00.

As for the tag...in the pic you can see the drive out tag is mounted sideways on the right side of the bike and this is where i put my GA tag hopefully its legal mounted that way LOL!!

Thanks for the comments and for the warm welcome!!

[fredintoon]

Hi Darrell & welcome,
Definitely NOT my style but that's fine, if you like the way it looks it's the bike for you.
OK, the builder has retained the rear suspension and the gas tank looks big enough to take the machine an adequate distance so you could just climb aboard and take off to the coast. Or the Rockies. Or wherever.
But no passenger capacity so you can't pick up a blonde hitch-hiker chick on the way.
But where you gonna put the plate?
