Alright guys, this is my first XS650, previous CBR owner. Got her home and finally started the teardown process. Has a medium sized oil leak coming from somewhere underneath, and the electric start doesn't always engage but other than that it's looking good.
Here she is safe and sound after a chilly ride home
Mods will be:
Black/Gunmetal paint scheme
Rear & Front Fender Eliminator
Modified Cafe 2-up style seat
FLEDA look alike integrated tail light
Either Clip-On's or Clubman's (Haven't made up my mind yet)
12,000k HID headlight
LED turn signals
Bar end mirrors
CB750 tank
Also plan on a sportbike front end swap and rear wheel down the road at some point.
Now the teardown, I've got a couple of ideas on re-positioning the rear-sets as shown in the photo's. Which do you guys think would be best? (Keep in mind im making this a 2-up and need to move the passenger pegs even farther back!)
Stock:
Middle-position:
Passenger-position:
Also, anyone know which sportier wheels (CBR, GSXR, etc...) fit the sizing of the swingarm and or front shocks?
