    Yamaha XS 1100

    I have never heard of this kit manufacturer before so I have no idea how it's going to go. Going to basically build out the box. The only changes I am going to do is get rid of that awful chrome stuff from the engine and the wheels. Thanks guys for the tip of using bleach, works a treat. It won't be a high speed build cos work is busy at the mo so bench time is short. Never done a build on the forum before so please feel free to come along for the ride. The first pictures are the box, sprues and the engine parts now dechromed.Click image for larger version

            Next job was painting the engine. I decided a black engine would look better and did the edges of the cooling fins and a couple of the side cases in aluminium.Click image for larger version
