Quality and Comfort: YAMAHA XJR1300 Custom

 5 min read

Webike's Opinion

Here is a "YAMAHA XJR1300" custom by Webike community user "Pekedabo". The owner's custom theme is all about making subtle changes while preserving its original character. However, since the owner loves touring, comfort is key. To help with long rides, an N-Project Bikini Cowl has been added. It fits the bike perfectly and gives it a nice style boost without feeling out of place. Additionally, a SUPREME SEAT by TO’S CUSTOM, a specialist seat manufacturer, has been installed. The seat features a unique urethane material with damping qualities similar to a suspension, greatly improving riding comfort.

One of the standout features in the photos is the Yoshimura exhaust pipes and the silencer, which elegantly curve from the air-cooled, four-cylinder engine. The heat coloring on the pipes and the silencer adds a nice touch, matching the black-and-gray color scheme of the bike. The owner has also put extra effort into customizing certain parts, such as applying heat-resistant paint to the engine and personally painting the COERCE RS Rear Fender and Leopardo Under Cowl. On the under cowl, stickers made by an acquaintance are thoughtfully placed, giving the bike a more race-inspired vibe.

The owner’s focus on quality is evident in the custom work, with parts like the Ohlins Front Forks and the NHK Steering Damper, which meets the tough TUV standards from Germany, being used. Looking ahead, the owner plans to install an AS Uotani Full Power Kit, custom parts made by Wheelie (including covers, billet parts, and a triple tree), and more. While the owner doesn’t plan to drastically change the bike’s original feel, it’s clear that he will continue to enjoy customizing it with high-quality components.
