I just thought I would post a walk-through of my XBR top triple conversion for my XBS. I looked everywhere for a step by step for this mod, and got some good leads, but nothing that explained it all. So here it is for those who might want to do this.


Things you'll need:
Dremmel
Drill
Rubber mallet
3 rivet-nuts size 5/16
JB weld


Step 1:
Cut ignition loop off XBR top tripple


Smooth out cuts with grinding/sanding bits


Step 2:
Remove windscreen, lights, ignition, modules etc...

Take XBR triple and place over XBS triple to line up holes that you will be drilling. With a ruler line up middle hole placement and mark a dot on top triple in center.

Then measure distance and make dots on the two sides of center dot.

After you have made your marks drill holes and insert 5/16 rivet-nuts.

Remove old top triple. You will probably need to give it some love taps with a rubber mallet.

Use JB weld to glue rivet-nuts into the triple. And let it fully harden over night.


Step 3:
Cut notches out of modules so clip-ons will have clearance. Just try to bolt them back up to see where cuts are needed.


Bolt ignition and modules back to triple and drill hole for clutch cable.

Now put front end back together.

While I was putting my blinkers on I made them shorter by putting the extension on the inside of the modules. I hate those long blinkers.

Replace windshield and your done.

Except for grinding down your key.

You need to do this to make it fit.


I used spacers to push out my modules a little so stock master cylinder would fit.

As soon as I get an XBRR master cylinder I'll remove them.


Before.

After.



I hope this helps anyone who is interested in doing this.:D
