What are your first three mods?! No wrong answers :)
1. Exhaust
2. Tank pads
3. Tail tidy
@@Rponsh14 the tail tiday was going to be my #3, but realized i wanted to bucket all the removals into one hahaa. I semi-cheated.
I did
1. Exhaust
2. Tail tidy (plus turn signals)
3. Headlight (plus turn signals)
+ a few others
@@andrewholtham ++a fore more :). thats a solid 3 first mods!
Exhaust, mirrors and tail tidy.
The wife never rides with me, however, the girlfriend loves it!
Giggety
*Infidelity rocks! LOL*
but who’s better at riding?
Hahaha!
You've been a kind of inspiration to my bike upgrade! Thank you!
Hope to inspire and take inspiration from you all too!
After I got mine, first thing without a doubt- THAT HUGE FENDER. Scrapped that for a nice one, then from there I went crazy.. side panels, levers, engine covers, frame sliders.. the latest was the headlight and turn signals up front. So much nicer! Also I agree, tbh I didn’t realize how streamlined the bike is without the passenger pegs 😂
Solid order :). And which headlight did you go with??
Cappuccino Moto oh I forgot to mention that wasn’t any particular order aha, the first thing I got after the fender was frame sliders tho. As for the light, I got one of the brogue kits! ( I’m profoundpotato on Instagram so I learned 😎 ) it was the 7” truck lite. They didn’t have any of the other ones in stock at the time, but I like the look of it. Still kinda classic looking but it’s new tech
@@agentstarkiller007 vastly different username on here :)
Cappuccino Moto yeah I had UA-cam before Instagram so it goes back to my Xbox gamer tag ahaha. I tried to change it but I don’t think that’s allowed 😩
Such a great build on your XSR. Love it. Miss your posts/videos. Hope all is well!
For my XSR 900. Purpose built moto 7inch headlight, Black Powder Coated SC exhaust and shorty levers.
Painting the while thing hot blue and black.
Got mirrors through your link too. They looks awesome!
Also gotta get wood craft clip ons... Also... A lot of other things. A lot
That purpose built headlight looks solid! Wish my exhaust was black! How you like the mirrors?!
@@CappuccinoMoto the headlight has a real industrial vibe. I love it!
the 900 bars might a smidge higher, I find I don't get as much visibility as I would like because it's mostly my arms I'm getting a view of. But some more angled bars (the woodcrafts) will fix that. But they look great!
Ice had mine for 4 years - no mods yet. I love it. Time to mod the exhaust.
Glad to see your YT channel kick off! Spoke to you on IG a while back about the bike and I look forward to more of your videos!
Welcome to the ‘tube version of me haha. Thanks my man
Due to quarantine life, i just ran out of coffee and randomly found your channel. Godsend!
Two bags of Urbana FU coronavirus blend and one Bali blend.
Thank you!
Oh yeah, dope bike. That exhaust note........👌
Haha cheers coffee ☕️ serve it up! Thanks for the find!
This makes me so glad I spent 7k on a 2017 xsr900 with all these mods already done
But did we ask tho ?
I picked up a Brogue exhaust system, new headlight, and a booster plug right before everything shut down. Had plenty of time to make my baby my own 🤙
The Brogue exhaust is a killer! Clean looking as well
Your style looks like “Cars with Luke”. Passion, good edition, good music and funny stuffs with a bike. Subscribed.
Haha thanks my man!
Bruh are you good? I haven't seen an update from you in forever, I was an OG on Instagram. Still rock your patches daily. Just want to know you're good.
When I pick mine up, I’m planning on changing the headlight, handlebar, and tank cover color in that order! And then save up a little to get a Leo Vince Underbody exhaust!
That’s a good list!
How costly/difficult is it to have the tank repainted?
@@yeshunited2213 I did tank 3 panels, fenders, and side panels for $400, but not sure the breakdown.
@@CappuccinoMoto Oh decent price. Thanks for the reply :)
I really like your setup specially the headlight
Great video for someone that is currently modifying like me! Exhaust was definitely first upgrade I did. Completely changes the XSR’s character. Took those passenger pegs off a week or two ago. My wife doesn’t have any interest to ride with me. Did a few other things as well. Tail tidy arrives today! Keep up the great content!
Sounds like we are on the same page. Which tail tidy did you get???
Cappuccino Moto it was a tough decision for me. Originally wanted to keep the OEM round brake light but went with the New Rage LED tail tidy. I was worried the brake light would not be visible enough but another youtuber Yammienoob installed it on a giveaway bike and it looks great and is still very visible.
Bro you have one of the best mods on a cafe racer I've ever seen and that made me fall in love with that bike (xsr 700)
1st things to eliminate on a bike are the plate holder, stock mirrors (because no company can release a decent pair) and the reflectors. then you get the exhaust, then the sprocket and so on and so on...
I left the passenger pegs on just for more crash protection. I did just buy a motodemic head light, which is basically the last mod I needed. Everything else is done. My first 3 were fender eliminator, exhaust, and mirrors. (CRG Arrow mirrors)
A couple others said the same thing about pegs :). How’s that Motodemic light? Pricey?
Also, brave to say “done” haha
@@CappuccinoMoto yeaahhhh... Motodemic was a little expensive but the stock bulb sucks (as you already know) and I didn't find an aftermarket LED bulb worth shit so I just went big... You know, "done" as in... For now.. I did exhaust, power commander, signals, bars, mirrors, 1 up seat, rear rack, fender eliminator, crash protection, dart fly screen, head light, painted some stuff matte black and next I'm wrapping the tank shroud in matte black... Another $200.. 🤕
@@Jay_Michael Never ends haha. I feel you, that stock bulb is garbage ... not to mention that turtle head design!
Nice video bro ! Awsome bike and great upgrades....very inspiring
I'm in France, I have XSR 700 2020 version (red front fender - red/withe/black stripped tank, golden wheels same as on XSR Tribute). From stock the bike is already very good looking but always have some upgrades in the back of my mind.
Already did :
1 - turn signals
2 - levers (I went for black mate )
3 - short metalic windscreen
Next mods will be :
4 - MotoGadget glassless mirrors
5 - SC project exhaust (same as yours)
6 - Tail tidy
Keep going bro....in slow mo !
Nice pick up! I’m looking at those motogadget mirrors too! Look sick
@@CappuccinoMoto Have a look at the making of those mirrors...high level german production, top quality, amazing look and cheaper than Rizoma mirrors....perfect matching with XSR style !

See ya
@@nicholassavals4548 I've seen this! I drooled (again) hahaa!
Your bike is amazing man! I love it. I still have to buy one 😂 maybe next year
stock headlight puts a manly retro look of the bike
Never knew CM has his own UA-cam channel. :D
Landed here by accident, lol.
Well, Good to know. I, somehow, am an avid fun in Instagram that's why it's a good news for me. Weho!
Subscribed.
Haha yep! I made a move on here recently. Seeing how it goes. Thanks for following along!
The new seat makes such a difference. Daym boi
Thanks! Brogue does killer work!
nice video! can I ask where you found the Yamaha badge?
Thanks for the inspiration on mods. Just bought my xsr700 -these vids helped me pull the trigger (and decide over the competitor bikes)
Great video. My first three mods on my mt07 were new clutch break levers, tail tidy and smaller turnsignals. Next in the top five were new tyres and an akrapovic exhaust.
You’re right, new levers are something that is easy and helps the bike feel so much easier to control. AND look better haha.
I love the look of your bike and I'm planning on getting a xsr700 myself soon and I really like the brown seat but can't find in on brogue's website. where can I find it or get something similar ?
exhaust, tail tidy and turn signals, seat wrap.
I kept the pegs, removing doesnt add much to the aesthetic and my gf likes riding with me, that brogue headlight kit is stupid expensive so are the motodemic, I'm upgrading the bracket via brogue and switching out the headlight but keeping stock housing bc I think it looks cool and old school...also putting on fork covers, new fender, new mirrors, and radiator coverup are key
Your gals rides?! Nice! Expensive, yes, but I will say I did the full build by myself before getting the Brogue one, and it was $50 more haha. So it’s not a bad value haha. But I get it. Also, if you’re keeping the housing, check the 900 housing. It’s a bit slimmer. And should be cheap
Dude.. great work in both the bike and the video.
Subscribed..
You are an inspiration !.
Hello. Tank color code please. :)
Da pipe ,that's how we roll my boy loud pipes save lives
I like the look of the stock headlight lol
I like it! Very tasteful mods.
I'm glad you like it! = tasty rides!
Exhaust, taily tidy, fork gaiters
hello, the red yamaha logo, is it 40mm or 55mm? the bike is very nice !!! 👍🏻
I like that bike but no center stand. Pipes under the engine. How do you lift it to change tires?
You should’ve turned on the bike for the exhaust sound and blinkers to see the results. Just telling us is not enough. Thnx 4 vid thou
Hi, the bike is beautiful where did you get the red Yamaha emblem from?
im sorry but when i do get my xsr, your mods is goals my dude. that cafe style =]
So we can be twins! 👯♀️
@@CappuccinoMoto Triplets!
I actually like that big headlight (don‘t ask why) but my first change was the tail and exhaust (leovince GP duals 🤤)
To each their own my brother! Haha. Hope I didn’t offend ;)
Where did you get the Headlight Guard? Cheers dude!!
Pretty short, but Chernobyl is the best show I've watched in a long time!
I agree! It was great!
@@CappuccinoMoto nice bike btw. I've been giving the xsr a serious look.
🙏 ... it’s hard not to do a double take or stare at the xsr
What an inspiration... "Get rid of reflectors, you don't need them" Probably get alot of hate from your subscribers, but yeah.. Do you need a helmet? Sure yes, it protects me in case of an accident. So it is a corrective action on an event (the accident). Telling your viewers (many of them probably being new riders) to get rid of the reflectors because they don't need them is so irresponsible.
Reflectors act preventative, so that you hopefully won't even "need" the helmet...
BTW the passenger footrests are a safety when crashing the bike they protect your legs! so do not remove even when riding solo most of the time!
You know what you doing, love the way you put together your motorcycle. 👍🏼
I appreciate it!
Great video bro
Hey man what headlight case is that? When im ordering the jw speaker lights they are with no case and the Original is to ugly😂 do you have the Right one?
Awesome video. Great production. Well thought out. Subscribed!
thanks, my guy!!!
My wife has her own bike. Pillions should travel by car.
Nice bike! Looking forward to pick one for myself very soon. Thanks for the tips!
Hope I could help! Do what you like best obviously :)
i like the first headlight
Awesome vid. your fast becoming one of my favourite bike youtubers. P.s done pretty much all that on my bike.
UA-cam may be everyone’s profession going these days haha. Thanks my man! It’s hard to stop and pick 3 mods ... I grouped a lot in “removals” haha.
@@CappuccinoMoto yeah it's pretty broad then. I agree tail tidy and lights and pegs for sure . RIP it off 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
@@joeb84 RIP it off for sure. R.I.P.
much more clean my man!! Love your bike
Looks like a nice bike… for the 2 minutes I got to see it.
That bike is gorgeous, does that color come stock?
No sir -- I painted the stock brushed aluminum to this cream/off-white color. Thanks!!!!
I love the video mate.
(New sub from Australia)
Thanks man!!!
Awesome video. New subscriber. What’s the cage around the new headlight? Where’d you get it from? Thanks!
Is this the 2021 model? I can only seem to find it in white/red....
I definitely would put the flatter seat in first. Even the one Yamaha sells as an option isn't bad.
That stock rear definitely needed to go.
The last thing of my first 3 mods would be under the bar, bar end mirrors.
Cool video dude!! Was waiting for something like that for a long time!👍🏻
Did it help?! Thanks for waiting
the LED headlight should be standard equipment by Yamaha. Instead of adding just new colors, upgrade all lights to LED (I'm sure they are cheaper, so no excuse). Hope the new 2021 model would come with them by default. I'm gonna buy a bike and the XSR 700 is my top1 for the next year (I'm waiting for the Euro5 changes)
I agree. LED, should be mandatory these days. What's Euro5 changes entail?
@@CappuccinoMoto I think it's only for EU, China, India and a couple more countries for now, but it's new regulation that compils to reduce 30% exhaust emissions. Long story short, most manufacturers will have to make changes to exhaust and engines to ajust.
So will see a lot of bike updates for the next year. Most of them minor changes, but I'm sure that's why some bike models didnt receive significant update this year, waiting for next year changes.
I see. Hopefully it doesn’t hurt the power!
7:51 what’s that called and where can I get one the metal plate that goes round the key hole for the seat? Iv been looking everywhere
How did you get the front mesh on the headlight? I have the brogue jw speaker 8700 and I took it apart to put that same mesh in front and it did not seem to fit
My first mod (pipe) my second mod ( k-tech suspension upgrade front an back) totally different bike, not cheap, (£1,300) but the way I ride, totally nessesary 😜 Rear pegs gone, me to, strictly solo 👍 Oh yeah, solo seat. Love it 🍻
Can you put a link to the headlight? Also which one is it because the ones on the website don’t look like yours. Thanks
Hey what mirror(s) did you use please?
Nice upgrades , simple...
#newrider /// own a dirtbike and ride it religiously on dirt + down my street a few times... have taken it up to 70mph thru 6 gears...and taking my MSF course on Aug, 15th.. After saying all of that lol, would you recommend your bike as a first street bike purchase, after I pass my class ?! So many people are saying how dangerous it is, easy to whiskey throttle and wheelie, etc etc.. What do you think ?!
Cartridge forks for an a decent rear shock
I find the suspension pretty nice out the box. But I’m sure it can be helped out :)
If you haven’t seen Longmire yet I def recommend it.
I see it pop up on Netflix, but I think 6 seasons made me anxious haha. I’ll check it out tho!!
I know you posted this video a while back, but I'm hoping that you can help me out! Did you replace your subframe to get your seat like that? Or is the 700 less angular than the 900? Either way, thank you for sharing who did your seat! I'll definitely be using them!
Get mine realllllly soon. This has been so great to watch. :-) Can't wait to mod the shit out of it. ;-)
Mod mod mod mod mod
What made you go for the xsr an not the sv, baring in mind the similar performance. Or was it more about the more up to date looks? I'm stuck between the two 🤔 I do think the xsr looks meaner 👍😅
XSR all the way. Honestly the SV wasnt even on my radar.
@@CappuccinoMoto yeah I totally get it 👍
The XSR is much more comfortable for a larger person who doesn't go to yoga regularly. Haven't bought one yet, but sat on both and the SV was not comfortable.
Hi bro the xsr 700 has a jvb kit for the back , bench and the headlight Can I buy the parts and just change it’s without change something at the bike?
Hey, nice video. Can you talk about how you installed those black upper fork covers? And where do I get those?
Straight from yamaha fz07 stock catalog! Super simple and cheap. I have part call outs and links on my webpage if it helps. Should be near the top. CappuccinoMoto.com/moto
@@CappuccinoMoto Thanks mate! And was the installation easy aswell or do I need to go to my dealer for that?
Heiko you can do it yourself if you can drop the forks. Or take it to local shop. Should take 15min.
any scrambler recommendations for beginners?
not many scramblers out there at all unless they are modified. I would say the 62 by ducati is nice though.
Awesome! May I know what are the adapter you used in your rear turn signals?
Look up any “Yamaha turn signal m8 adapter” on google, eBay or amazon. They look like little oval eggs. You’ll need two per light to sandwich together. Hope that helps!
@@CappuccinoMoto thanks man!
Hi, what Brand are the Mirrors? Thanks!
mate the 3m tape removal, thank God it's not a condom WTF
Where you got the covers on the side? (the ones covering gap of seat lock and braking fluid can)
Didn't know you have a UA-cam channel! Been following you on insta for awhile lol
Welcome to the ‘tube! Different vibe
Great video. Question... how did you chance the color of the front bars?
Thx!
Did yours in the US have signals on the front? In Europe they have. Dammit!
Yes, I removed the signals in the front. And replaced with small LEDs by Motogadget :)
You forgot one vital upgrade. Replace the nerdy round glasses with more rectangular ones.
But I'm an engineering nerd....
Before and after??
am I the only one whose first "mod" was buying a frame sliders and protectors (for alternator, radiator) to save the beauty in case of bad luck? I found the stock exhaust on my XSR900 pretty loud already, not beautiful, but quite loud. Headlight and appropriate gear (retro helmet, leather jacket etc) is my mod.
Did you kist cut off your stock seat? Or is it a brand new seat? Can you help me out?
Did you have to paint the front fender black? Same for the bracket?
Actually front fender is from SW Motech. Painted black side panels and rear fender :)
Cappuccino Moto Oh yeah. Sorry, I knew it was from SW motech. Just not sure if it comes in black. Was looking to pick it up!
@@freekvdh Yes sir! Comes in black! amzn.to/3bwkUAo
Minimalist bike bro🔥👌
Kin P. Minimal! Love the minimal. The removals help haha
Love the mods and attention to detail. I’m the same way! So, being that the height of the XSR700 is just a bit high for me, how much thinner is the brogue seat from the stock one? If I were to get one, I’d have the seat shaved. I would like to avoid using lowering links if possible, so as not to mess with the stance. Great video...Thanks!
Thanks! The brogue slim seat probably dropped it by about 1 - 1.5 inches.
Cappuccino Moto Appreciate it! How’s the comfort now that it is slimmer?
I like the comfort now better. It’s a higher quality foam. Maybe one area that’s firm at the back of your butt but never hit that area unless I’m showing off haha
Did u buy a new suspension?
What model are your glasses frames?
Nice stuff Jacob, your bike has always served as an inspiration to what I wanted to do with my own! Do you have a link to the headlight grill you have on the lamp?
The next mod I’m considering is the handlebars & levers. The levers mainly because I want to black them out...the handlebars I don’t really have a problem with, but I’ve heard from so many people how much a swap improves the handling...I’m not looking for a more aggressive position or look, but if it does mage the bike easier to navigate/more responsive, then I’m intrigued.
That Ozark ending though...?!?! Another show I’d recommend would be the Last Kingdom, season 4 starts next weekend, the 26th.
Be well!
Thank you mucho! Headlight grill can be found from the source Max Inc over in china. you may have to email them if it's not on their webpage. Warning, it'll require a different front headlight housing ring. Levers are a must. Bars, up to you. Bars give it a different stance for me, but not much more of an 'ease' of handling i guess. Last Kingdom -- added :)
Did that headlight guard come with the kit?
No sir. Would need to contact Chinese manufacturer Max Inc for mesh grill and accommodated housing ring.
Man your exhaust looks so clean compared to mine :-( Something splashed onto mine and has made some of the logo decal erode... and my header pipes have banded strangely as opposed to that nice even yellowing. Oh and a plastic bag melted to the underside one day. Great. lol
Sounds like you have some bad luck haha. I know a few other guys had bad luck w/ the decal erosion as well.
How much did all of it cost?
Hi dude, where did you get the cool indicators from?
Mmmm think I need an XSR in my kit 🤔
Go ride your neighbors at Liberta Moto! Haha. But for sure, it stacks well with that Triumph
Hi, do you have a link or name for the tail tidy ? Thanks !
Find it - evotech! Are you happy with that ? Cheers
