Wow, what a mod! Looks like an amazing amount of work went into it. Definately one mean looking beast! Those forks and entire front end are sweet!! Are they standard forks that are chromed? That front wheel is a beaut, too. Wonder what type it is.

Something that has me wondering.......
I don't see any plumping from the turbo to the airbox/carbs. I see the exhaust, the large 8" long pipe sticking out the right side of the turbo. But I see nothing going to the intake.
Yes, a nice looking bike.

"No one is totally useless. They can always be used as a bad example"
It looks to me like there's a 3/4" or so piece of metal tubing leading from just under the turbo, across the left side of the motor down around the timing pickup cover. I'm guessing it snakes it's way up to the airbox. Pretty ingenious!
I bet that monster is LOUD!! No exhaust at all!!

what the fuss is about, he's ruined a great XS with all those mods. ok, i can't keep a straight face and say that. i dream of having the green (not to mention the know-how) to do that to a bike. i sent pics of it to my wife, got a "uh-huh. what am i looking at again?" in reply.
Viper, that thing definitly needs to be at the brag and drag, but if not, what show/rally will you be taking it too? i want to see that beast in person.
Nobody mentioned that tire. Is that the left rear of a Corvette? Didn't they have the 'uni-directional' tread pattern - the one-side-only tread pattern that is not equal?

Well the tire is a BF Goodrich T/A, it's not a motorcycle tire, should be on a pickup.

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in one pretty and well preserved piece, but to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, worn out and defiantly shouting, "WOW, what a ride !" - [URL="http://www.flyingsnail.com/Sprung/index.html"]Sprung[/URL]
What I like about it, is that it's not just the usual common as mud GSX11 clone that the custom crowd always seem to settle with. Even bristling with exotic components, that thing is unmistakeable XS11 in a glance. A good looker too.
Ah Chev, there she sits, the ultimate XS, aloof and untouchable. Alluring and (seemingly) forever mysterious. Sexy as hell and deadly as sin. Love hurts eh?
still tryin to knock down this wood....lmfbo. But i have not forgotin your fine ride either. it will be more like what i will be able to attain. (unless lottery winnings come my way) but i see how to get the fatty on there. with a little hammering here and there should be ok for me.
