XS1100 Cafe so far...
Need to redo the seat, It's too thin...feels like i'm sitting on wood. Engine and gas tank still needs paint. It's going to be all flat black.

Foot controls are staying put, they will actually bump into my ankles when my feet are on the ground
Keeping the stock handlebars. Maybe i can rotate them forward a little bit and hopefully that will give me another 1/2" pullback.
I am going to remove the old school teleflex fork brace and front fender. Hopefully that will take out about 5-8 pounds?
The engine crash guards are going too. Passenger foot peg mounting bracket
also. I'm starting to really like how much easier it is to push the bike and putting it on it's center stand once i had the seat and rear fender off. That probably only took off about 10 pounds, but it feels like 20-30!
Get Tkat's fork brace! It is worth it!!!!!1978 XS1100E Standard

I have clubman handlebars and bar end mirrors and it really changed the look going towards cafe. Now if I could only get the dang thing to run

Bars
Flip those bars upside down and backwards. They will give it the Old Old-school clubman look (and low cost too!)
Overall I like It. I am a big fan off flat black

I have no idea how you managed to make that connection within your brain, but I applaud whatever cellular mutation just took place.
