Mate, you'd love the sound of it, but will be very disappointed at the lack of go when you twisted the throttle, especially when compared to Lucrezia!

My old 2D did handle very well. Mind you, the lack of any excess of power from the motor probably helped it's hand there.
Did I say you'd love the sound of the exhaust note?

I doubt these are cheap enough to start with but you are getting a lot of bits including drilled discs - CLICK (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Yamaha-XS750-Bobber-Cafe-Racer-Classic-/150841386990?pt=AU_Motorcycle_Parts_Accessories&hash=item231ed8e7ee#ht_500wt_949)

     I think that it would be a wasted effort,they are an orphan bike with very little performance potential and as a Cafe racer the shaft drive let's it down.it is my opinion that apart from a couple of racing XS1100's i have not seen a really trick XS1100 on the street in Australia,they have a lot of potential and with a chain drive and later model front end would be a real road eater and would not be that costly.
