“I started this build with an Ardcore , frame . I’m doing the rest in my home shop .
Jon at Ardcore is great with any thing I need along the way .”
Bang-up, killer, naked XS650. It’s got an artful profile specifically the exhaust. Steve, Are those exhaust headers stock or custom bent? Simple and brilliant.. Can’t wait to see it in paint, although you could just leave it the way it is.


Respectful-looking stopping apparatus….

Nice photography work man.
Thanks Steve, make sure to send in some pictures when you get further, as we all know they’re never finished.

I agree with pete this bike truly is inspirational. I am kinda looking for a project for myself, this bike is very close to the look id like to build, that springer front end is killer. keep up the work
Seeing your ride has me totally jazzed. The lines are simple, quintesential, old school, bad ass, crazy f**k, sick bastard chopper. I use the picture of your bike as my computer’s background to keep me in focus of my long-term Evel plan: to turn my basket case ‘75 into the kind of motorcycle people keep thier distance from. Thank you for the inspiration. T.
