Describe Your XS650:
Hey guys, I’m the chop from holland. Here are some pics of the xs650 I built, nothing special just a no nonsense dutch chop. The setup: sr500 drumbrake wheel on front, xs650 16″ on the rear, modified sporty fender on the rear, modified clipons the rear light was saved from the dupster, the upswept exhaust was made from various exhaust parts I had laying around and the airfilters were made from a kitchen sink. Paintwork: just primer…. Currently I’m working on 2 new projects xs650 off course!
Update on this ride from Hans:
“Wow, the Dutchies are doin their best on your site !!!

Richard did the whitewall tire by himself. Simply by painting it.
Did you know there is special paint to make your own whitewalls?
