INTRODUCING "STREET
SLEEPER"
An All New, Custom, 1978/80,
High Performance
XS Eleven Standard
This
bike is a collection of detail cosmetics and performance
parts that took four months and many thousands of dollars
to create.
It
represents what can be done with an XS Eleven to create
an updated version of the best all round motorcycle
ever made.
The
overall looks; seat, suspension, displacement, carburetion,
exhaust and brakes have all been altered to take on
the appearance and performance of a currently made
new motorcycle. All the while keeping one thing
in mind. Keep the legendary reliability and longevity
of the XS Eleven the same.

The
bike is awesome in photographs, but unbelievable in
person. You have to check out the QuickTime angles
of it and all of the close ups of the various parts
to appreciate the enormous amount of thought, design
and detailed handmade parts that went into making this
unit.
Every
black and white checkered piece from the stripes to
the various sets of crossed waving flags were made
by hand then copied on a thinner vinyl paper in black
and white. Then those pieces had to be cut out
with scissors and exacto knife by hand, before they
could be applied to the various parts. The white
had to be hand overlaid onto the black and then the
edges had to be trimmed around on the flags without
cutting into the background paint. Only then
could clear coats be applied. A helmet was also
created to match the bike and riding apparel.
All
of the time you study this bike keep in mind that we
can furnish parts and piece work as needed, so that
you can re-make your own XS Eleven custom similar to
this one.
For
information and orders call us at (913) 677-4663. Everything
can be ordered by phone with credit card info.
You
can even bring your own XS Eleven to us from anywhere
in the United States for a major or minor redo. Many
people have done so already.
Together
we can make XS Elevens last indefinitely. Think
about it.
