Some pics of my XS 1100 project- trike!

Going to be a trike- will be getting rid of parts I don't need to offset cost- stay tuned about November late October.

Got a Samuri Suzuki rearend, making custom swing arm, real naked ass tractor, Will have forking by frank make 8 inch over forks, and rake and gooseneck for good trike trail and then build the frame up to the tiple tree, custom hand made tank. I will be using stock shocks, and a custom seat pan. Should be pretty trick.

I've owned 3 Harley trikes, and know several people that have the old VW trikes... 'found an interesting Moto Guzzi photo :

'hope this foto comes out; the resolution is pretty bad but you'll get the picture... it's a good lookin' trike IMO

I think the XS11 would make a GREAT trike - good lookin', FAST, and comfortable. 'can't wait to see your pictures.

I seem to remember a post on the XS11 list from a fellow in the UK who was looking for another front end for his XS11 trike because of a bad speed wobble but it sounds like you know what you're doing about rake and trail issues.

That red bike is very close to what I am doing on this one- the tank is alot different- my eyes say a wide inline four needs a wide tank to cover it to look proportional. Forking by Frank has upper fork tubes in stock up to 40" longer LOL- But I am only going 8 inch over.

I set up rake and trail on the jig and bring the backbone up to the neck.
