It wouldn't be that hard to make an XR1200 from an older Sportster. In the mid-80's, Nick Ienatsch, who worked for Motorcyclist magazine at the time, made an Evolution-motor Sportster look like a late 70's Harley Cafe Racer (XLCR100), but with more modern brakes and suspension. I almost bought Harley's Cafe Racer in 1979, but the clutch was so stiff, I almost needed two hands to operate it.
