Tim’s GL#12 XS650

noid 650 002 1 Tims GL#12 XS650

Here’s alittle bit about the bike. This is a 1975XS650 built for me by Rich @ G&L Choppers in Colorado Springs. This bobber is buy far the coolest bike I’ve ever owned. The motor was in stock form with I beleive somewhere between 15000-18000 miles. The addtions Iv’e done since getting the bike are as follows, 2into1 intake W/34mm from Wiseguys Choppers www.wiseguyscustoms.com also changed out the ingition from stock dual points to the boyer bransden system re-rapped the pipes and added a tach. I will have to say that all the years I’ve been ridding this is by far the coolest bike I’ve ever owned.

Thanks
Tim

    It looks like a DNA 2″ under… I believe G&L offers them in their bike builds as an option.

    Sweet XS Tim!

    Ditto. How does carb set up work for you? does it idle smoother, any more power?

    It’s a 2/1 intake w/34mm mukuni, the idle is much smoother and far easier to tune. As far as power, it feels the same

    The springer rides great no problems so far. If you live in Colorado and you are thinking about this type of scooter Rich@ G&L is the man to talk to.
