Describe Your XS650:

I have only been riding motorcycles for a few months. About a month after I started riding I saw a pic of an xs650 built by the Fong Brothers. I became obsessed with the idea of building one. This will hopefully be a good learning expirience and turn out cool.

Thanks Bryan.

Looks like a good start to me.

    I’m not sure what pic you saw, but I build most of the Fong Bros bikes, so if you have any questions, just give me a shout. I’m glad we were able to inspire someone. Most people just don’t understand our taste, so it’s nice to be appreciated.

    The stance on this bike looks awesome! Is the the hardtail custom or pre fab. If pre fab, where from ?

    Thanks Billy Joe and Evan! I had the tail done by Unknown Choppers. (http://unknownchoppers.com/). I had to talk them into it, but this was the first metric chop they have ever done. They are awesome guys.

    I wish I had more pics of the Fong Bros. bike from the Horse. Thats one of the coolest bikes I have ever seen period.

    I have a bunch of pics of that bike, and I just finished building another very similar to it. I will be photographing it this weekend and posting soon after.
