Glasgow Born XS650 Bobber

Write about your XS650.: Bought the bike originally as a 1980 SE in a sorry state, after a large amount of engine, carbs and electric work got it running and ready to go with help from my old man.  The frame was professionally hardtailed and stretched 4″.  Stock 19″ front and 18″ rear from a kawa z.

Sporty tank, sprung seat, dummy oil tank for the electrics and ribbed rear guard.  Finished in rattle can black and clear coated the muddie and good to go.  It’s my 1st attempt and the 1st incarnation of the bike but winters here so a few changes may be afoot!!

    Nice clean bike. Did you have any problems with the MOT regarding the hardtail?

    Cheers for the comments guys, Al, no probs with the MOT, Brewer, got the velocity stacks from Custom Fasteners, Hesh and Teeb thats the UK road legal MOT plate so a post MOT streamlined one can be used thereafter.
