Ross' JVB Moto Custom Yamaha XSR 700
After too many nights spent sleeping on the workshop floor and a near vertical learning curve from building his Cagiva flat tracker Ross decided that his next custom would be more of a bolt-on project.
Yamaha's highly accliamed XSR700 seemed the perfect place to start as he'd fallen in love with JVB Moto's Super 7 during the press launch in Sardinia.
The whole JVB kit and SC Project exhaust was fitted here in the Bike Shed after hours with a fairly basic tool kit.... no grinding, welding or messy stuff. If you can put together an Ikea Malm chest of drawers then the Super 7 kit is an easy weekend project.

Where does time go? I swear there’s a sinkhole somewhere or a Bermuda triangle that consumes my waking hours without receipt or acknowledgement. With our big show around the corner the calendar is marked by the first anniversary of me owning my first brand new motorcycle. So of course it’s been fully customised and I’ve rack-up 17,346 glorious miles of adventure.
Have I bollox!
Straight after the XSR 700 launch in 2015 I was hounding Yamaha for a good deal on one – see original review here. At last year’s Bike Shed London show my prize was rolled off the truck and I began to imagine how good summer was going to be, customising and riding one of the best middle weight motorcycles ever made.
Hidden radiators with ducted cooling tracts, handmade aluminium or maybe carbon fuel cell covers and a fancy subframe – I was going to go to town and show these custom builders what a really good XSR looked like. Then I woke up and reality stepped in to shut me up. It’s all well and good fudging around on old shitters but this was a brand new bike and deserved a level of finesse that my diary or short attention span wouldn’t accommodate – a lack of decent workshop facilities provides a valid excuse too.
Bureaucracy also played a pivotal role in shattering my delusions of creative grandeur. As my XSR had been pre-registered abroad as a press vehicle the government agency (VOSA is now DVSA) here in the UK simply couldn’t cope. It was if I’d asked them to give me a numberplate for a North Korean Skud missile launcher. I won’t go into the details as it’d undo progress made in therapy sessions but suffice to say it took 7 months before I could properly own the bike..... more over on www.thebikeshed.cc
