Title: Inspiration
Post by: J.Y.Kelly on July 20, 2013, 07:13:02 PM
I have a fairly standard XBR500 and the modification bug has bitten. What I am looking for is inspiration in the form of pictures of other modified XBR's.
Does anyone know the best places to look?
Kelly.

Have you tried google images?

Yes. There are maybe 4 or 5 but nothing inspiring.

For my money, I'd look at cafe racer web pages, BSMC, Return of the cafe racer, pipeburn, iron & air etc, to get ideas, then see what could be incorporated into your XBR. Otherwise, you're in danger of building a replica of someone elses dream.

Just a thought.

I want to get as many ideas as possible, and then mix and match. I sometimes get inspiration after looking at something I don't like as it can trigger something I hadn't thought of.
