Write about your XS650.: This 81 xs is my first cycle build. tc bros. hardtale, headlight bucket is an old police search light i had laying around, the seat pan was formed from an eletrical panel door, the pipe extensions are legs from an end table.
I got insperation for the forward controls from the pics of the evil twin on this site. Total cost was cheep under $1000. I have an 80 xs waiting in the wings, maybe brat style?
Thanks Jay eastep
looks kool Jay send me a close up of your headlight mounting i want to use a 50′s car spotlight and i’m looking at diffrent ideas
thanks smitty ,I’ve been doing some mods and will post some new pics soon the headlite mount is a piece of steel with two bends, it mounts with two 10mm under top triple tree and one larger bolt through bottom of the bucket.
Jay, I like it. A simple, clean bob. And I love that you used scrap to build it. How cool is that? Awesome, can’t wait to see the next one.
I tell people thats not junk, thats inventory.
luv the bike! what kind of tank is that? looks good!!
if it walks like exaust and it talks like exaust by god it’s exaust! what mooron put exaust tubing on an end table, somebody get a rope…great job vindicating the exaust pipe for it’s intended use. otherwise great job on the build, thanks for sharing
Nice.
