    Good looking XS11 cafe:

    This is how it's done: That seat cowl keeps keeps the bike long and the overall size balances out the tank.

      It's not my bike. I wish

      Looks like it might be for the sprocket end but a bit flimsy for that. Maybe just a guard?

        I like the handlebars, and the front disc brake looks good. I wonder if the front suspension is anything special.

          It may have old tech forks, but they don't appear to be XS1100 forks.

            Those look like FJ forks and TT's.

              I would like to do the xs750 like this. I wonder if a xs750 chain conversion would be the same part?
