From tourer to cafe racer
Bought my 2016 xsr700 about 2 monthes ago and have since changed near enough everything on the bike, decided to go cafe racer for this build but haven't decided on the clip ons yet also haven't decided on the finish yet however think I'm going gloss hence one half of the tank is satin black and the other gloss. Critique as you like fellas.
So far I have completed
Full service
Upgraded suspension (ohlins front, YSS rear)
Upgraded exhaust (kelpi shorty)
Bought stock bars and flipped and inverted
Fit cafe cowl (somewhere in italy)
Painted tyres
Vinyl wrapped half in satin black and half gloss black

Switching to a xsr700
So i bought my first bike 5 years ago, a harley sportster 1200. Its been pretty great but lately I've been wanting something a little more nimble and sporty. I like the retro look of the xsr but I was wondering how much more performance I'd get out of it compared to the sportster.
Is it significantly faster? Do I need to bump up to the xsr900 to really feel a jump in power? My concern with the xsr900 is that I wont really use much of the power on a daily commute where the speed limit doesnt break 55
Most of my riding is in town, I use my current bike as a commuter about 8 or 9 months out of the year and of course for weekend joy riding but its just been feeling stale

Led Bulb conversion
Hey there,
Any of you guys tried the Philips Ultinon Pro6000 Boost H4 bulb on pre 2022 models ? The stock light isn't bright enough for me and I don't want to do a full headlighr swap

First season, first bike 💣
Loving it as a beginner! Maybe a little rough on the throttle coming out of a hairpin but that's the price you pay for all that torque 😍

Helmet HJC V10
Hello guys.
I wanted to know if some of you got this helmet and what do you think about it ?
Currently i have the HjC C70, but it’s not really adapted for intercom and the soundproofing is quite bad once you are above 90km/h

Looking forward to getting on this beast, m4 exhaust sounds killer. Canada day so I cant register it. 13,000km 2023 model. Shock gaitors, tail tidy, turn signal relocation, probably delete the rack, time will tell leaving it as is for now.

2020 Model
Loving the NRC Tail Tidy but some small bulbs of the turning light is not working anymore. Any of you have the same experience? If yes can I see what solution did you do.

Good aftermarket seat or seatcover?
I just got one of these things and I f***ing it and think it's literally the perfect motorcycle for me and I am forming a soul bond with it.
However: the seat? Not awesome. And I knew even before buying it that it would need to be replaced or covered.
Right now I'm just doing commuting and longer recreational day rides with it, but eventually I intend to take it on longer motocamping trips and ultimately deep dive transcontinental journeys. The modding process will be slow and gradual, but a new seat/seat cover is definitely high on the list.
What do you fellow XSRers recommend in that department? Any insight would be much appreciated.

Greetings from a Japanese XSR700 owner! What do you guys think of these handlebars?
https://www.hurricane-web.jp/product/hb0295b-10/
I want to give it a slightly sportier vibe while still keeping that original classic look. I'm also thinking about adding bar-end mirrors—what do you guys think?

paddock receivers: L-type or V?
Hi gang,
looking to dial in my bike and I'll need a paddock to do that. I'm not sure if she'll take bobbins and the V-type receivers or if I'll need to go with the L-type for rear swing arm. Can someone help me out?
Cheers.

Sound profile Akra titanium vs carbon
I’m wondering if people had information on the differences between the akrapovic titanium and carbon.
From what I’ve read online, it seems the titanium with the baffle in doesn’t have much of a difference between it and the stock exhaust. Whereas the carbon exhaust is a lot louder with the baffle in.
From people’s experience is the carbon with a baffle in too loud and police bait?
Is the titanium with the baffle in worth it?
I’ve watched a few videos and the audio doesn’t seem to do the exhausts justice
