79' 1196 cafe r1 swap project

[drshankles]

Great looking bike! What all was involved and how difficult was it to retrofit the R1 triples and forks to the XS11 frame? Was the fork assembly also from a 2002 R1? Thanks, Bob

The swap was fairly simple, everything swaps straight over except for the top bearing. That needs to be sourced.
And trimming the bearing seals from the R1 to work with the xs bearings and neck.
