The old seat looked WAY better.
this is soo ugly. every post gets worse. there is nothing good about this bike. you hacked off the back end in a desperate attempt to have a “bobber” and just ended up with an un-balanced pos. i know its harsh but im sick of seeing this site littered with trash like this.
Looks better in person, plus if xs650.com, would have post all the pic’s, so you can see bike all around! Everyone who see’s this bike LOVE’S IT!! All the bike’s we do now are Custom Hard Tails, which is what will happen to this bike sooner than later! Give me a link to some of your stuff, BUTCH! Show me what it’s suppose to look like! This is a xs650 site, ALL xs650’s, whatever kind they are, and whatever they look like!

I don’t know Butch… he obviously didn’t break any boundries, but not a bad bike.
Well, in all fairness, Brandon, you had to know that there were going to be some guys who chop bikes on here who were going to look at this and not be overly impressed.
Your idea of a CUSTOM rear end is to spend 5 minutes with a hack saw cutting off the seat loop. You also unbolted the rear fender, attached a pre-made solo seat and lights. Not exactly major modification.
You have posted this bike on here about 4 times now over the course of 7 months. Not much has changed. More black paint or powder-coating, that’s about it.
While it is a bobber… a very slightly bobbed bobber, it isn’t what most of us who have been modifying bikes for a long time would call a bobber or a chopper. What I would expect, as with most guys that have been f*cking around in the garage most of their lives is a lot of cutting, some tube bending and metal fabrication and some WELDING.
I don’t really care about this bike. I think you ruined it by hacking the loop off and removing that great looking tracker style seat. By doing this and adding that ridiculous looking solo seat you pretty much proved that you have no clue what you’re doing. AND THAT’S OK.
Everybody has to start somewhere. But if you can’t handle it when somebody tells you that your half-assed build sucks, maybe you shouldn’t post it. BUT I THINK YOU SHOULD. Criticism gives us the opportunity to re-evaluate, to question our decisions, and to grow a thicker skin. Or to say f*ck it and keep doing things the way we think is right.
My problem; you obviously have very little experience or skill when it comes to building custom bikes, yet you are saying you are “Wicked Choice Customs”. I certainly hope that you have a REAL WELDER as part of your crew and not a hobbyist. Don’t go getting somebody killed playing OCC.
Brandon Turner@ What is the deal with xs650.com? Not another 650 site.hahaah
You have post your bike up a number of times Turner. I really liked the low_pro seat you had on a while back.
TED, where’s the rest of the pictures! And Teebs you talk too much! I just wanted to ask BUTCH what he had, just like I’m asking you what you have?? Just tried to do something different with this bike, than just hard tail. Building two bikes now, both cut and weld hard tails, complete re-build’s from the ground up, will post when done! And oh, this BIKE SOLD last night for $3500…….
lol Well, I do WRITE too much, but it doesn’t change the fact that what I wrote was right.
You didn’t do anything DIFFERENT because you didn’t DO ANYTHING. Seeing the rest of the pictures won’t make much difference.
As far as it selling for $3500, ummm… so? Those idiots at OCC can sell one of their tacky pieces of shit for $60k, all that proves is that there are plenty of dumbassses in the world, and you obviously found one.
You can find my current project on here easily by doing a search for TEEBS, just like I found all of yours by searching for “Brandon Turner” not overly complicated.
And YOU didn’t answer MY question, are you welding them yourself? Do you have any experience?
By the way, I watched the video… “loud” and “good” are not synonymous.
Teebs, not everyone enjoy’s pussy either, but I do! What about you??? ~DICK! Just because you feel your right does not mean you are, dumbass!
Yes, I have 17 yrs. welding expirence!
lol the grade school gay challenge…. Too funny. Are you 12?
No the fact that I use LOGIC and REASON to come to my conclusions makes me right.
Keep going. You’re definitely amusing.
Let me guess… TC bros hardtail for your next “build”? “Wicked Choice CUSTOMS” lol
I am getting sick of the negativity that keeps popping up. Drop it or kick rocks!
your right lets drop it, bike sucks lets just leave it at that.
Well maybe at least it will stop even if you are trying to tear yourself a new scrotum on the rear tyre. Have a good ride Mr New Owner.
sick of the negativity?????
thank teebs…the know-it-all.
every single comment i’ve ever read by that dude is a downer…even when he likes the bike there is a put down in there somewhere. makes me not even want to read the comments. i love the bikes on here…..can’t stand the mr. logic and reason attitude…..logic and reason seem to be other words to toot the horn of an unhappy know it all that loves to put other people down.
give us a break and find another hobby to fill your time.
First, aren’t YOU putting ME down?
Second, I rarely put anybody down, unless they come at me personally first. I may point out things I don’t like about their bikes, but I try not to make it personal.
EVERY SINGLE COMMENT? Hardly, but if there are things I think could be done better, why not point them out? It doesn’t mean anyone has to take it to heart. They’re just ideas.
Oh… that’s right, this is the kinder, gentler, pussy-fied world of choppers, where candy-ass “men” can’t take a little constructive criticism and end up getting all butt-hurt. LOL
Just so you know, I’m extremely happy. I have a great life. People actually pay me to do the one thing I’ve loved since I was a kid. I work my own hours, as few or as many as I choose. I vacation about 4 months out of each year. I have the best circle of friends I could ask for. My family rocks. I go and do what I want, when I want. Yeah, life sucks… poor me. Again with the LOL. (Insert SMIRK here.)
Funny thing; I don’t give this site a moment’s thought before or after the half hour or so I might spend on here every day or two. If my posts cause you so much distress I suggest counseling, perhaps you can punch a pillow or something. Just a thought…
TEEBS…
You are completely OUT OF LINE and you should be ashamed of yourself!!
Not only did he cut his hoop, he cut his exhaust off as well….(still no welding)
I am starting a new style where I put tall bars on an R1 and call it “Crotch-Hanger” or “crotch-style”… of course, after I post it several times and other people catch on, it will be “crotchy” for short.
This is a fine specimen of an effort cut short.
ALL puns intended……..
Yeah, I’m feeling the burn of shame… no wait, that’s just the breakfast burrito I ate a few minutes ago.
I am totally going to be next in line on the “crotch-style” band-wagon. Mine’s gonna be totally unique though. I’m gonna put spoke rims on mine. I wonder if TC Bros makes a weld on hardtail for the R1? Oooh, and I can get some coke-bottle hand grips! And lose the front fender… HEY! I just invented a new style… “crotch-bob” Yes it sounds painful, I know… just as it should.
Thanks tadd442, this is gonna be uber-sweet!
totally unique, just like everybody else……..long live “crotch-bob”!!
Mate the crotch bob is as boring as batshit, ho bloody humm !!!!Another tosspot that has no mechanical apptitude has ripped off a few mudguards and found an old spray tin of black paint, brought solo seat of ebay and holy sit mate his a genius bike builder !!!!!!( at least in his own feeble mind ).
Listen to all the babies on here..
Yes…LISTEN (keyword) to all the babies on here…..
This thread is awesome. Its brightened up my morning noend. And while I agree with most about this not being a custom, but it was all kinda harsh.. I remember being new and shite, building what i tought was the coolest custombike on the block. (Hindsight shows it was crap) but we all learn from our mistakes. Brandon, take the advice, keep going but learn from this one. I look forward to seeing your next bike and watching everybody here congratulate you on your sucess.
Right boys and girls?
Oh and i want a crotch bob and i want glitter tasstle streamers for my handlebars. and spokey dokeys for my wheels.
