Hey guys,
Ever since I got my licence I have been drooling over some mods I found online for XSRs with a cleaned and short rear end. You could remove the rear hoop and fit a solo seat, but then you still have a large piece of fender sticking out. Most tail tidies take into account you use the original (long) fender.
I was wondering if it would be possible with the following wishlist;
- I would like to be able to return it to stock, so no cutting or drilling in frames or pans.
- I would like to retain the taillight because I think it's one of the features that defines this bike.
- I would like to use the single seat, and have just a small piece of fender stick out with the taillight on top of it. An S2 concept tail tidy would be ideal, but only for blinkers and licence plate light. Perhaps I could buy a replacement fender with existing holes for the taillight which I could cut to fit towards the front, so I can restore it with the original fender when I want.
I am inspired by Smoked Garage with their Excelsior, and by S2 concept, but i'm not sure if this would be possible without cutting or drilling.
