Those Japanese big twins were such fun :D I went the Yamahammer XS 650 route myself.
Started out like this View attachment 1716257824 Semi-Apehangers to the recycle bin. Dirt track bars to replace them. Ugly license plate hanger followed the Apehangers. Rear axle mounted bracket installed. Made a custom seat out of that pictured thing. Built new pipes dirt track style. Chrome rims replaced by alloy spoked rims. Wish I had pictures.

My first street bike was a 1978 Yamaha 650 Special. Blew up the motor pretty quickly, rebuilt it for a few hundred bucks, then traded it in for a new 1980 XS1100 Special. Had that one for about a year, put 10k miles on it, and I had just put a new back tire on it when I got smoked by a drunk driver. Spent a week in hospital and 4 months off work recovering from a few broken bones.
