Hi all
Here's some pictures of the mod I'm working on with my XSR700. It's work in progress, the main bits being the tank panels and single seat being finished which should be early May '16....
(1) Exhaust
I went for the Akrapovic XSR exhaust which sounds much better than the standard part, I've also modded it to make the panels in black. I think this provides a nice contrast to the big titanium exhaust. As I've removed the pillion pegs, I'm also awaiting the covers to screw into the wholes.
(2) Chain guard
I didn't really think of doing this until I looked at the plastic stock exhaust and felt it needed improvement. The XSR700 part is superb - two piece metal which is quite easy to fit as well. The axel covers are in-coming.
(3) Side Panels & mesh inserts.
As the tank will be blue and white, seat brown and rest rest of the bike mostly black - I wanted to provide some contrast here and did away with the plastic standard panels replacing then with the metal ones, plus the mesh inserts. I'm likely going to do some graphics on this - numbering or something.
(4) Frame billets
Two of these. It's good to fill those holes!
(5) Handlebars
I've now fitted a LSL X01 bar, which was supposed to be black but looks more dark brown (not to worry, it'll go with the saddle) and I've placed some biltwell grips as well. The mirrors are Rizoma (You have to order the adapter to fit them as well, which is a bit annoying!) The mirrors have a yellow tint, which means...
(6) Light
Yellowed standard Lamp, which I've sprayed with glass tinting spray. Looking more retro now!
(7) Rad cover and panels
If you're going to do one upgrade, this is probably the best one (if you have the 60th anniversary like me).
