Hello good people,
I haven't been on the site for some time, work is busy and winter (Australian) has set in. It has given me two ideas, 1) PMS really means 'parked motorcycle syndrome' and 2) that although I like the Japanese take on the Harley-fied American dream (82 XS Heritage Special-delivered to Chicago) I am giving serious thought to a no- cut tail conversion to a cafe style/modified flat-tracker style cowl, if such a thing exists. I love the bike, I am resolved to mod this beast without cutting it up and would love to hear from anyone who has had experience in this area. In a perfect world, I would like to make the tail mod a bolt on affair so that with a set of clubman style bars, some indicator stem shortening and a seat redesign, I get a tight looking bike with the option of restoring it to it's original state as well. Am I asking too much? All advice accepted with gratitude.
Cheers ODSXS
