The Forager⁠ ⁠ Is the Yamaha XSR700 a cool bike? This question has formed a divide amongst the Deus House of Simple Pleasures not seen since the infamous chicken parmi or parma debate of about 20 minutes ago when I conducted the study, we're still reeling from the results. ⁠ ⁠ One of those in the "love it camp" for the XSR, however, is the owner of this beautiful example, Ty. "I saw the potential for customising it pretty early on and had that in mind when I purchased the bike." What started out as a simple colour change and lighting upgrade quickly blew out into a full blown custom build- a tale as old as time for some of us. ⁠ ⁠ The cockpit set up was changed dramatically, yet subtly, with a set of @biltwell moto bars chosen to take care of the lefts and rights. The stock clock was ditched for a Daytona Velona unit while the rest of the goodies like the buttons, grips and mirrors are all @motogadget items controlled by a @purpose_built_moto Black Box.⁠ ⁠ The headlight was replaced with a 7" piece and Kellermann Atto indicators on either side. A more compact LED tail light was perched atop a new brushed alloy rear fender in the stock position all held on by the shaved and neatened subframe. JVB fork gaiters protect the forks above the SW-Motech Alloy front fender.⁠ ⁠ The last pieces to make their way onto the bike is a beautiful hand polished set of spoked @Alpina_Raggi wheels- dressed in Pirelli MT60RS Tyres and a genuine Yamaha single seat re-trimmed by Dave at bad arse trim co.⁠ ⁠ To see more on the build head to deuscustoms.com ⁠ ⁠ Built by @jeremytagand⁠ Words by @cam.rogerss⁠ Photos by @kenyonbatterson⁠ ⁠ #deuscustoms⁠
