where did u get the rear shocls for the bike?
ad what other modifications did yo do to the back end?
http://www.mikesxs.com , is where you can get the shocks and just about anything else for a xs650!
Everything else came off Craigslist and Ebay!
Besides shocks, chopped off rear end, added micro tail lights and a single bobber seat! Paint side panels and gas tank Black! Wheels have been Powder coated black, and tires came from JC whitey.com, $100 for the set!! Awesome!
so i am assuming that you just bought a set from Mike’s and it dropped the backend down?
I have a 1981 XS that i am messing with, i really don’t want to do too much “physical” chopping of the bike and want to keep it’s original integrity. i just kinda wanna give it that little “push” over the top. longer forks, lower backend, new turn signal setup etc. i got new handlebars and such from EBAY.
it would probably be easier to do this conversation through email.
mine is joemichaelson89@yahoo.com
looks awesome! would you be willing to explain your process of cutting off the back? thanks!
That might be the ugliest bike I have ever seen. Taking off the seat & fenders, cutting the exhaust and trimming the subframe a little does not = Cool……..It’s this kind of chop that gives the Jap bikes a bad rap.
Keep it stock or do it right, this is not good…….
Sorry to be a hater today
