Yamaha xs1100 special chain conversion

You can buy generic seats like that all day long dirt cheap on eBay.

The seat? Yes. The fabricated cowl? No.

The upholstery looks fabricated as well. Maybe he built the cowl around the seat.

Gotcha. Picked that bike up yesterday out of Texas, and happened to come across this post when looking for some info on the chain drive conversion. Was curious about some of the work done on it.

"Removed from a drag bike" to me means run extremely hard. Then again, about the only thing worth paying much attention to is that machined shaft.

I have been studying those pictures but I have no clue how this will turn into a chain drive. All the different covers make it look like it has to be a VERY wide unit but the shaft contradicts that. That clutch cover in the pics makes no sense to me. As LAB3 says: the only interesting thing to look at is the modified output shaft.
