  • progress on the xs11 cafe build...

    So I haven't posted any pictures so far, but thought now was as good a time as any to do so!

    What's left:
    finish the wiring (barf)
    new front tire
    and of course... get her running...
    the rest is cosmetic...

    Coming along nicely. Did you have to change out the cables to accommodate the handlebars?

      Thanks!

      I'm going to post more pictures in the very near future, can't wait to get this beast rip roaring down the hilly roads of Austin!

      In response to the question, no, I used the stock length cables, albeit not the most factory routing, but there was another thread on here that addressed the routing of stock length cables for clubman bars, I'll dig that up and post a link...

        handlebars

        do the handlebars hit the tank? i had drag bars on my bike at first but had a problem with them hitting the tank.

          Bars

          No sir, I'll put a link up to where I got the bars too, they were wider than normal clubman's, they have about 1/2" clearance at full lock...
