    My XS1100SF project!

    Here are some pictures of my project.

    It's not finished yet...
    Still to be done:
    -Installing my white wall venom tires
    -wrapping my Kerker 4into1 and install it.
    -Building a ''rack/bracket'' to hold on my ''bullet box''
    -Paint the wheels red
    -build a sissy bar

    Here the project so far





    My helmet! :P

    looks like alot of hard work to me. Good job. Looks very nice for the look you seem to be going after.
    Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

    When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.

      Careful if you ever ride two up with the spikes in the sidecovers...bad news for the passenger under several possible situations I can think of (bad news for you too if the bike goes down or if you forget they're there when at a standing stop)...I like the paint and everything else tho...

          I will attach it to the bike with a brown leather belt strap.

              Air filters

              The paint work ROCKS, just a technical question how do you find the trumpet air filters vs the original air box.

                I just ordered a set of those pod filters from mike'sxs, they have the velo stack built in.
                Looking at your bike I can't help but think you're a Judas Priest fan....

                  Hi Max,
                  not your ordinary pearlescent metallichrome paint job. Looks great.
                  The pictures don't hint at the bullet box's intended location.
                  Perhaps you could integrate it's rack and the sissy bar into a single weldment?
                  FWIW, rusty old garden furniture bought cheap at yard sales is a great source of steel tubing.
                  Careful cutting & welding can integrate those nice factory bends into your new structure.

                        I love the white walls. I've wanted to get them but I never replaced both tires at the same time. What kind are they?

                          Here's all the infos abut those tires.
                          Avon has been making high quality tyres since 1904, tyres that fit all sorts of cars, motorbikes, vans and trailers. On two wheels as well as four.

                          They are the VENOM from AVON

                              My rack is all welded I just need to fix it to the bike. And to old the box in the rack I'll use a leather strap for the old-school look.
