Hello from Oxfordshire!

Hi all,
A new XSR700 owner from Oxfordshire, UK. With the 60th Anniversary model.

Main reason for getting this model was to modify - so in progress at the moment;
- Akrapovic exhaust
- Upgrade on most of the cosmetic bits (Chain guard, Billet ends, radiator cover and side panels - All based on Yamaha accessories)
- Single seat, being re-made and covered
- Tank respray & designed
- New side panels, design wrapped
- LSL X01 lower tapered bars, new grips
- Rizoma Mirrors
- Yellowed Headlamp
- I might be DLC (blackening) some bits as well, depending on time
It's all DIY and I love the way the XSR is so easy to modify.
I make watches here in Oxfordshire; so the new tank will have my branding but it will be in keeping with the style of the XSR700 design.

Also made some of these, which Shun Miyazawa wears! :grin2::grin2:

I'll post up photos when it's complete, hopefully early - mid May 2016.

Thanks buddy! I think if anything the exhaust is the essential upgrade on the bike but it's also the biggest spend!:frown2::frown2:Welcome .. Yellow ones are definitely faster...Im doing a few mods to mine but not as much as you , so will be interested in seeing yours as you go...
