1980 xs650 New Bratstyle Makeover
- 6
Write about your XS650.: This bike fell into my lap when I found out that my Mother-in-law had it nicely tucked away in her garage. When I heard she wanted to get rid of it or possibly sell it I was immediately interested. I didn’t know anything at the time about bikes but soon after would learn a lot very fast.
She started to realize I was interested in the bike and soon after just gace it to me, she said it was for being such a great son-in-law and treating her daughter so well. After i got the bike into my possession I immediately brought it up to my buddies hot rod/bike shop and began chopping, welding, and ordering parts and accessories. Now it is lookin pretty good and should be road worthy in about a week or so.

This was the direction I was heading with my ride. Is that a 21 up front?
Holy Shit mate! Is that white stuff on the ground snow? Mate how do you even consider owning a bike with that stuff around, do yourself a favour and take your nice ride to the tropics, ride all year round and the beer tastes sooo good there. Tidy work.
It’s definitley snow dude…SUCKS! I hate snow…but when the summers come its very nice…I would love to live somewhere warm all the damn time but not going to happen. Anyway yeah it was actually a pretty easy build. I am just going to finish up the wiring tonight and get my battery box mounted…I mounted my coils nicely tucked in between my air filters…can’t even really see em…Keep you updated!
its not a 21 up front either. Its actually stock…but I am looking to get one in the near future…
nice so far great mother in law, any updates?
Rub the bike down with a dead rotting Chicken, and Dogs will chase it. Great fun!
