The (not so slow) evolution of my first XS11

I'm curious as to how the round headlight looks with square turn signals.

Its finally at a point where I am content with the way my bike looks and runs. Loving it!

It looks pretty fine! Will you be adding turn signals? (Most young drivers can't read hand signals, and the immigrants think you're flicking a booger.)

A few last touches?

Hi Sebastian,
like Marty sez, put the signals back on. The life you save might be your own.
Install a TKAT fork brace to take some of the twitch out of them.
Drill hole patterns in the brake disks to improve their function.
Drill press, whacking great centerpunch marks, 5mm then 10mm (or 3/16" then 3/8") Cobalt steel drill bits, slow speed, high drill pressure, flood coolant, any symmetrical hole pattern.
Or swap in the slotted rotors from a 1980 Special.
And ride safe! 95% of car drivers can't see you. The rest want you dead.

I plan on putting some smaller (but brighter) low profile signals on. I did not have the stock front signals on the bike when I got it because it had the front fairing. The rear ones had to go because some dick in the parking lot at work backed out and knocked one off and destroyed it...I use hand signals but you're right, people these days have no idea what the hell I am doing.
I've definitnely considered putting some holes into the rotors...they tend to get pretty warm after a good long ride. I also have to clean up the pipes on the other side (I hear oven cleaner works pretty well?)
This is definitely the good looking side, the other side is missing the cover until I figure out how to fix the broken one that came with the bike.
