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?

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.
