Hypothetical (for now) build: XL600V
Here's a little game where you get to spend someone else's time and money.
I have a perfectly functioning TA 600. It's a bit tatty around the edges, but only if you look closely. Otherwise it's a fine bike.
However, if you were to "overlanderise" it what would you do?
Now, I realise one perfectly viable answer is "nothing", but then this wouldn't be any fun.
So assuming you do at least something to it, what would it be?
Complete strip with a new aluminium frame and oversized tank?
Upside downie forks?
Whatever. You decide and, who knows, some of them may make my drawing board!
The only thing we're leaving alone is the engine, carbs etc...
This topic is inspired by a local bike shop here that makes utterly divine custom bikes, usually around BMW boxers; some scramblers, some cafe racers, some low-riders etc, and a HUBB member's K75 build where only the engine is recognisable!!
Enjoy!
