  • Any Info on this Bike?

    I've wanted to build an XS1100 racer like this one for a long time, does anyone have any info on this bike (or a similar one) What fairing/tank is that?

    Upon further inspection, I don't think this is an XS at all

      XS?

      Welcome to the forum Hideki. Actually I think it is an XS. The bike has a Special front fork and looks like a shaft drive. If my old eyes are correct it's either a xs750/850 or a xs11. The chrome piece behind the carbs is like a xs750/850/1100. The brake discs and the calipers are right. Do you have a right side view that shows the pipes?

        That IS an XS11. The '750/850 have a different brakes on the front. With the rotors, I think an '80 or '81 Special was the starting point, as the front calipers look to be the "XS11 Special ONLY" style.
        There was a thread here about fairing, and it had a link to a company you could order them from. I think you would need to start with a "bigger bike" fairing, and modify it to fit.

          I thought it was an xs11, but I couldn't see the number of pipes to be sure. The swing arm caps also look correct.
