This is my daily rider which I'm slowly leaning towards turning into a cafe. In the process of a building a new seat and obtaining a different tank perhaps a XS 750 if my other choices can't be obtained. Thinking about keeping the paint scheme the same. Any recommendations would greatly be appreciated.

Very nice bike. The paint scheme looks great. At least it's not black. I would definitely stick with it if you change tanks. Although the one on there looks pretty good.

Looks great yellow/white! Have you considered a nice set of 18" spoked alloy rims with dunlop TT100 tyres?

dpmphoto.......Some slotted rotors on that yellow bike will help it stop a bunch better and get rid of the squeeky sounds...
xs850 front fits right on the rear
and xs1100 slotted front fits right on the front..........

Thanks for the advice, I was going to drill them but said screw it, your right it doesn't stop very well, I'll be going back to the drum when I finish the rims and some 1100 for the front.I might change pipes and muffler too if I can find something that performs as well as this 2 into one, The headers are bubbs but I have no clue what the muffler is. The exhaust came from a guy who use to dirt track race and he had these unused in his shop, he said it would make about 6 more horses than stock I think he might be right, I noticed a huge difference when I put these on,the bike hauls ass.Anyone building a street or dirt tracker would love this setup.Was also wondering about sprockets I'm always trying to shift into 6th on this thing.
