You have something that says it's an XS1100. The engine!

[Fearthepack]

Well said sir..

[Fearthepack]

Need to figure out something here....Can't see a good line for cutting off and the brake return spring uses some of this area to rest on....um maybe fab something for a badge here.

[jetmechmarty]

How about rearsets? It looks like a good place to hang them.

[Fearthepack]

I like to ride with my feet nearly under me (years of quad riding) so wasn't even thinking rearsets but will at least explore that riding position...

[Fearthepack]

First attempt.....

[Fearthepack]

Something like this....

[jetmechmarty]

My vote is leave it all one color. It's done.

Maybe put this on it.

or

[Fearthepack]

I have been staring at the first one for weeks may get my vote as well.

[Fearthepack]

Rear brake/running lights came in. Will have to figure out best way to install...

[Fearthepack]

Just screwing around with some ideas.... The bikes name is Route 66, My good friend and his brother shipped their Harley's out west and road Route 66 back to it's end then down to Florida.
Their trip inspired me to look at Street bikes for the first time. Couldn't find any I liked started searching metric bikes and what people were doing to them and bingo I was hooked. So if I can pay tribute I will but if not that's OK to.

[Fearthepack]

Maybe something like this to cleanup the rear foot peg area.

[jetmechmarty]

Move the pegs back under the seat.

[Fearthepack]

Move the pegs back under the seat.

Those are cool.... I tried a mock-up moving the pegs to the rear and it put me in a very uncomfortable riding position with a lot of pressure on the wrists... I suspect the low seat is causing this.... I have a Suzuki 1975 T500 with clubmans that I have no problem riding.

In need of one 265, and one 270 valve shim if anyone has them... willing to buy,trade, beg or steal them.
