Truly incredible work, love the amount of effort that went into this build. Shows the dedication to this bike for sure lol. Can't think about how much this custom work costs xD
2:33... Sorry if it's a stupid line of thinking, should there be some obvious answer I'm missing, but I'm not sure I followed the power math correctly. 65HP? Shouldn't near-doubling the power put it in the 90-100HP range? Or were there some factory restrictions?
We had an XV750 motor we wanted to make faster, we just figured capacity was the best way to do that. The work would have been the same with the 1100 anyway.
If you want more from this build, head over to the PBM build blog for the XV750

When we rebuilt the motor we used an upgrade kit and replaced the worn parts. It fires right up so the starter slip is minimal
Looks and sounds awesome. Can't say I have heard one that good before.
Usually the sound of these bikes is the worst part, followed by how the ride haha
Yo PBM, Sweet Build. Nice Throated Sound
I like the wide spread of the cylinders in the XVs, they make a great looking custom.
Sounds flipping perfect I gotta get my 920 sounding that sexy
Blown away, yet again! Love your work from the uk. Saving up for a PBM build, detail and thought you put into these builds are stellar.
Vtwin galore
Beautiful work! love the colour. I have your indicators on my bike. Also, that is a very cute doggo!
Very nice build! That sound is epic

Great power sound! Haven't seen a custom gas cap like that, can you please tell or show more about it?
If you search for a pop up weld in fuel cap it will come up.
How can you not like XVs when they sound like that!

Great work. Is there any reason you couldn't swap a 1000 or 1100 from a latter model?

Did you run into starter issues?
Why not start with the 920?
Nice job though
Different swing arm
How much trouble do you go through getting it engineered and road legal in QLD?
There's not much to engineer apart from the front end swap which is a major upgrade to the braking. Its usually no hassle.
❤ That's so......fuckin cool!❤👌
