“Rat Race” by Cannonball Custom Cycles
- 11
Write about your XS650.: This bike was built for my good friend Taylor.
It started out as a stock 1979 xs650, I cut it up and welded on a TCbros hardtail. Took the stock wheels and powder coated them black, wrapped those in some avon whitewalls. 
Stock forks with shaved lowers, clip on handlebars for a little racer style as well as a custom number plate/dual headlight. Peanut style tank, Cannonball hard ass seat.
Turned down pipes and a canteen for holding extra fuel for those long rides. I hope you like it.

you hit another out of the park w/this one. i like the cannonball shop bike as well.
i see you are into road stars as well. wish you were closer, i have one i am selling to support my xs habit. i already customized it a little though.
Im not usually a fan of mag type wheels but they look good on there. The bike is sick, different, id ride it and give people the finger on in.

Thanks a lot guys. Revcain, Road Stars are kind of my specialty, but I am starting to prefer doing the XS650′s. They are just fun bikes to build and ride.
I want to pub mid controls on my xs. How did you set up your rear brake using the stock components? Thanks
EJ,
email me at cannonballcustomcycles@yahoo.com and I will send you some pics of it.
Very unique on headlights!
There is something facinating when looking at this bike. Can you tell me where I can find the same rear fender you have.
Marcel,
It is a generic front fender, I believe i bought it through Bikers Choice.
what lenght is the stretch on it?
John,
If you mean the frame stretch, it is stock with a TC bros hardtail.
