swapped to R upper-

[pur pony]

Removed my handlebars and Xb upper triple and swapped to an Xb R upper (clip-on) style....

not really digging the look. Riding position doesnt feel to bad though...

whats your thoughts? To me it looks more cafe racer then street fighter.... I like it and i dont.... not sure

May I ask what it takes to put the xb forks on the tuber frame? Dying to build a crazy tuber with a 1250 big bore motor I have.

Honestly, I love the way it looks. Simplicity with style.

I think it looks great. I'd paint the 'bolt upper black though. Almost seems to stick out now.


Lol no pun intended

upper will be powdercoated black. Powdercoating the cam cover, primary cover, push rod tubes, and triples all black.

I still need to machine the upper so it will bolt on using the factory X1 stem bolt and Im going to machine the key mount off as well. I also bought a second set of switches since my others have all the wiring run in the handlebars and i dont want to pull that all apart.

Ill probably leave these on and ride it be a while and see if i like it.
