What mods are on your bike?

[Pat Kelly]

It's tough if not impossible to keep a 30 year-old bike bone stock (filters and tires not included).
Here's what I've done on my bike(s)

1978 XS1100E
Progressive fork springs
Tkat fork brace
drilled brake rotors
SS brake lines
PnM front master cylinder
Dyna Coils
Jardine 'spagetti' 4 into 2 exhaust
K&N airfilter (in airbox)
rejetted accordingly
LED tail/brake light
converted rear turnsignals to running/turn lights
6 LED accent lights
Auxillary tail/brake light on trunk
Venture 6.5 gallon fuel tank
fog lights (mounted on engine guards)
Lockhart oil cooler

1980 XS1100LG
T Kat forkbrace
PnM front brake master cylinder
air fork crossover tube
Superbike sport handlebars
Maier sport fairing
unknown 4 into 1 exhaust (I think it's an RC Engineering)
SuperTrapp baffle with 10 discs
K&N airfilter (in airbox)
Weisco 1196 big-bore kit
rejetted accordingly
quick-release seat clamps
XS750 speedometer (140MPH)
removed the octopus

I'm sure I've missed some things. There are more things I'd like to do, particularly on the LG.
Put the E tank on the LG (want a different Special seat to do this). SS brake hoses for the LG. Exhaust mod for the LG. Replace the LG head (PO did a crappy porting) with a 78 or 79 head (have one of each ready to go).
Paint both bikes.
How about you?

Just a few mods to make the Venturer 1100 venture farther in comfort: TKat fork brace, vista-cruise, Alpine CD/Polk all-weather audio, Corbin tour seat, road pegs and Yamaha matching tail trunk put on back in 81. All rest is factory stock, exhaust, air box, jetting,etc.

Short list here.

[CatatonicBug]

Not much for me:

Added a Vetter Fairing
Added a Luggage rack/back rest
Adding a Vetter Trunk
New fuse block
Main jets are the same all the way across (only because I didn't know any better when I replaced them)
Center stand has been removed (by a PO)

Other than replacing the consumables, everything else is stock or OEM replacements.
I will be adding a set of Vetter Hard bags as soon as I can locate a mounting bracket (and be able to afford it), and I need to re-cover the seat. The tank could use a new coat of paint and a small dent removal too.

I'm trialling a new seat.....



but other than a couple of rear blinkers and a home made muffler, not much.

[cueball]

Is that yours or the wifes

[b.walker5]

Wifes, Ive got a stock saddle but it doesnt fit. (bike or the wife)

[cueball]

Don't think there is really very much I can add to that statement

[Trainzz]

My extensive mods

New Battery
Changed the oil.
Bolt on road pegs.

Before the summer is out, I am adding hard bags and a adjustable backrest. Also a new windshield is needed. Like the one I saw at MOM on John's ride. Going to get one for me.

Now as to the winter project, The CraZy TrainZZ is gonna take after Montreaux's chopped and dropped. Thinking along the lines of a 50's style of chopped, dropped, and bobbed. Solo seat, single speedo , drag bars....... hmmm the possibilities are endless here. Kinda wanting a retro street fighter.
