If any of y'all have built a xs110 bobber or chopper please post your pics and detail what you have done to it and if you had it over again what you would do different. Can't wait to see the pics and details of your builds.

Hi Pase,Originally posted by pase View Post
I used the search feature to get several hits on chopper photo and on bobber photo.
Leave out the photo and you get WAY more hits.
You could also search trike photo for a different way to go about things; then there's my own why I ride a sidecar rig, lotsa photos there.Fred Hill, S'toon

Not choppers, but I like these:
I just can't visualize an XS11 as a chopper. All of the attempts I've seen of what I define a "chopper" look awful to my eye. That's not to say I haven't seen any nicely customized XS11's.
I can visualize an XS11 standard as a heavyweight "cafe".

This first one is a special with 6" extended upper front fork tubes, but no other frame/neck work done. It's not mine, a fellow up in Penn.
And this one is from a fellow in Richmond, Va., he had a small bike shop.

Garrett, I don't think I have seen the one you did with the clubmans and the rear hoop. That thing looks awesome, especially for having the Special tank.
+1 on the XS11 not making a very ideal chopper. It can make a cool bob, though. I think a member here called Hideki made one that was really cool.Healthy is merely the slowest rate at which you can die
Some people will tell you that slow is good - and it may be, on some days - but I am here to tell you that fast is better. I’ve always believed this, in spite of the trouble it’s caused me. Being shot out of a cannon will always be better than being squeezed out of a tube. That is why God made fast motorcycles, Bubba….Hunter S. ThompsonComment
