Write about your XS650.: About two years ago i picked up an XS, as seen on the first picture.. “Dirty Harry” was written on the tank..
My plan was to make a bike with no resemblance to any other bike I have seen before… well then.. see for yourselves…..

Some specs:
- The hardtail was done by “Metalshaper”, a guy that eats metal for breakfast!
- Modified gas-tank is from a Zundapp Hai
- Bicycle suspension for the seat
- GPZ500 front fork
- Suzuki two-leading shoe break
- Oil-can as electric-housing
- Rear fender from a dirt bike (cr500 I thought)
- Footsteps from a dirt bike
- Home-made exhausts
- Air-intake home-made with a little help from IKEA
- Cool Hella headlight

Thanx to the guys from www.chopperstyle, I was able to build this bike! (parts/advice/supporting words)
WTF are you smoking ? Elephant tranquilizers dipped in mercury ? You ruined a proper looking motorbike. That first bike had class
gehgehee
Larry, are you out of your frikkin mind? Class? That first bike looks like the aborted spawn of an early 70s Sporty chop and a mid 80s Virago… I’m glad to see it was put out of its misery, and that nobody will ever have to gaze upon its hideousness again.
Just a couple of observations:
Just how far out of the lowers can you pull the fork tubes? More importantly, why would you bother, when doing so fucks up the stance and the handling?
Are my eyes deceiving me, or is that the rear caliper support mounted to the frame? And the muffler mounted to the swingarm? Well, that makes all kinds of sense…
Why is there sheet metal bolted to the upper shock mounts and running up under the seat. Just my guess, but maybe it holds the seat on? Clean, man…. uber-clean. And those super bat-wing neck gussets… stylin’. brother. And all I can think of when I look at those wheels are the wooden spoke wheels on a very colorful Gypsy wagon.
Now the second bike, to me, is what chopping is all about. It ain’t pretty but that bitch has character in spades. The chop isn’t afraid to be itself, and I guarantee it won’t meet it’s twin anywhere out on the road. Besides, how the hell can you not dig those pipes!?
Well put, Check out my trike “Larrys 3 wheel goodness” and take the gum outta yer mouth Class is in session,note the absents of squiggly gay exhaust pipes,and queer short fork.
What am I supposed to say? You want a pat on the head? It looks good… for a trike. And I might have almost taken you seriously, until I scrolled down to see you “striking a pose” En-Vogue-style in front of the cookie-cutter ’70s chop with the sweet 2 up and bobtail fender … oh, and look, it even has a coffin tank… imagine my surprise. Did it take a lot of effort to come up with that amazingly unique color scheme?
Do you get those flashes of creativity often? Yeah, you must, I mean look at the not just ONE but TWO sporty fenders in those pics, and a sporty tank too. AND Maltese crosses? Picture frames on one and Z bars on the other… Whoa, you’re really pushin’ the envelope, Larry. Take it easy now, you’re going too far…
THEN, you raked the neck and extended the forks!? Well, you’re like the da Vinci of chops, Larry! I bet, since you came up with it, it’s gonna catch on like wild fire!
Ummmm… are you catchin’ the sarcasm here?
BTW, the 2 up on your trike looks like a spent condom.. you need to fire your upholstery guy…
Coming from a guy standing in front of a house with T-111 for siding, a gutter just hanging there with no end cap or downspout, a couple of pallets of bricks sitting there, an exposed pump and a cock-eyed light fixture, I’m not sure the word “afford” should enter into your end of the conversation.
Finally, as a guy with class, I’m sure you know that the word you were looking for was “absence”. Damn that spell-check, anyway… eh, Larry? lol
Ok–OK…
Teebs not that I mind but if you drop the F bomb my CMS software flags your comment as spam and then I got to approve ext.
“Elephant tranquilizers dipped in mercury?”
HAhahahahah……. WTF.. LOL…..

Thanks mate
, that’s what this bike is about!
Mate!!!! thank christ you killed that first bike, I thought that was going to be your post, my mind went what kind of dipshit would post that heap of crap. but you have redeemed yourself, nice ride.
lol Sorry Ted.
Larry’s an arrogant jerk. He’s OK in my book.
But no f-bomb? It’s fascism, pure (supply your own expletive) fascism.
@Teebs make no mistake TEEBS —– I AM A CAPITALIST!!
However, spamming software is what makes the comments manageable. I have to manually delete spam every Fucking couple days. It’s a bitch. If I was a fascist I would have deleted some of the statements and comments you’ve made that I don’t completely agree with however, I’ve welcomed you to have your own voice and speak your mind openly. Teebs I think you make the comments lively and you’re probably just trying to get a rise out of me. Which is cool and funny. You can say Fuck, shit, balls, or whatever you feel like I was just pointing out to you that there are a couple of words that’ll get comments flagged as spam so you know that comment may take a bit to appear and also it makes a bit more work for me.
@scheffers Thanks for sending in the pictures man. That square headlights is pretty unique.
@Larry Cuts
“Elephant tranquilizers dipped in mercury?”
HAhahahahah……. WTF.. LOL…..
lol I knew you’d love that fascism remark.
HAHAHA!
Teebs sure can talk alot of shit,but I guess that comes natural if you kiss enough ASS! Eh, wheres your bike ?
Personal experience has proven that out, eh Larry?
Don’t worry; when my current project is done I’ll send in pics.
I can already tell you that you won’t like it though, Larry. It still has a suspension, although I stretched the swingarm 4 inches and it has a mono shock. No hardtail, sorry. Also, it has such frivolous luxuries as turn signals (I know, I’m a pussy.)
You’ll be happy to know that at some point next year (after an extended road trip – about 6 months) I plan on going either 6 or 8 over up front and I’ll probably extend the swingarm another 2 inches. I realize that it’s kind of tame, but then I’m just a bitch like that.
Incidentally, I’m not exactly known for kissing ass. Being friendly with people I like is a little different. I’m sure that you not knowing the difference makes you fun as hell to be around. Or people tend think you’re an ignorant dipshit.
What NO BIKE PICS? It figures you sounded likea F’in keyboard Kommado BS artist from the git. Ha Ha Ha hey wanna drool over my other unfinished projects ? Im working on a 1959 pre unit 650 Triumph T110 with a NOS amen savior triumph frame I found at a bike shop in sunnyvale California.Bottom end,pistons and barrels are fresh just tryin to sell off enough Jap Junk xs 650s to do the guides and get my hands on a soild state magnito. I also ride a 1995 883 I finished this project 3 years ago a with paghco hardtail, 40* rake +8 on the tubes, motor is stock with the exception of carb jettin and pipes this one gets 45mpg. and can outrun just about any big twin on the curvy mountain grade near my town.Same with my 67 BSA lightning weighing in at around 375lbs and having plenty of ground clearence,its advantage is good power to weight ratio.Not to mention PUSHRODS when I decarbonize the pistons once a year all I do is unbolt the head and it comes right off,what a concept no chain to falldown into the block,or tension.No cheap metal bolts to deal with like on my 2 yamaha 650s.I dont know what those slants were using for metal in the 70s and 80s but it was bad.I could go on about a 500 triumph I picked up but I thought this site was for Men showin off Bikes? Ha Ha Poser
As soon as you came out with the racial pejorative, you lost all credibility, scumbag. You really are an ignorant dipshit.
Oh did I affend you? I was rasied by greasers who put their lifes on the line in the south pacific to defend My First Amendment rights that entitle me to Call a spade a spade that also allows you to whine “Your Not Politically correct, and i dont have a bike that makes you a dipshit wahhh” Yeah Real Tolerant there Big shot.
It’s OFFEND, moron. And unlike you, I don’t have to say “I was raised by.” I served my country. How about you, you spineless turd? Hiding behind the sacrifice of others to defend your right to be a bigot. I defended your right to be a worthless scumbag, and you’re the only type of feeble-minded idiot that makes me second-guess that choice.
Before you run your mouth you really ought to know what you’re talking about. I served in Desert Storm, my brother in Panama and Nicaragua. My father and four uncles in Vietnam, both Grandfathers and a Grandmother in WWII. Hell, even my wife was a soldier.
I’ve seen and done shit that would make you cry like a bitch. I’ve listened to blowhards like you all my life, and you’re always all talk.
You’re just another gutless racist who has to blame his own inadequacies and lousy life on another race because he scraped the bottom of the genetic barrel and ended up with shit. Too bad for you. Suck it up, Sally. You’re nothing special, and you and I both know it.
@ Teebs & Larry this site ain’t about talking Shit and personal attacks!
PLEASE STOP! Neither of you have to prove anything to anybody.
THANKS
Shutup Bitch and getta bike
lol I rest my case.
I’m done, Ted. It’s wasted effort anyway. I never felt I had anything to prove. I was just poking fun, but that racist bullshit sets me off.
Anyway, I do apologize to you for this coming up on your site, and I’ll leave it alone from here on.
hahaha Americans, gotta love’m!!
There’s a certain Dutchman who needs an American boot in his ass…
My guess is the aussie’s take a similair puzzled view on some American culture as the Dutch do.
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and i thought teebs just didnt like me,seems he doesnt like a whole lot of things. Ted your the man
here’s a movie i made : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0D4qJB12A-s
