xs First Try
- 5

Write about your XS650.: This is my first bike ever, and is also the first bike i have ever built or even worked on. It has been about five months so far and I think I am doing a pretty decent job. I am having some serious wiring problems though so if anyone can help me out just shoot me an e-mail at justfitz4130@yahoo.com… I just want to ride this thing. More pics soon, just got the exhaust from ardcore.

That fisheye shit is annoying. There is no way to tell what the bike actually looks like.
The rear fender needs to be mounted tighter to the tire.
Get rid of the Christmas present under the seat… Santa doesn’t deliver to bikers.
Either strip the paint on the lowers or lose the gators. Going blackout doesn’t work when both rims and that big hunk of iron in the center aren’t black.
Brian Durk has a great vid on wiring here:

Sorry, I also meant to say this: Keep up the good work, and good luck to you brother.
are you staying with that color or is it primer??
I think your doing a pretty good job bro. Im curious, do you have much previous mechanics experience? Im just wondering beacause im really considering building one of these bad boys but my knowledge is very minimum.
