Jason’s 1979 xs 650 bobber
- 7
Write about your XS650.: This is a 1979 xs650 Bobber, This is my first build. I have always been into Harleys but they are too damn expensive to build these days. I built this bike for my wife so there for it’s not to extreme! We bought the bike bone stock for $500 then put $250 or so into the transformation. I built everything from scratch from the frame/bars to forward controls.
This is the beginning of my madness!!!! Jason
Jason,
Killer machine!
How about some more pics?
(I’m digging the hot wheels collection as well.)
What’s the story behind the fork springs?
Looks good and x2 on the fork springs??
Sweet!! x3 on the fork springs??
When i took the bike apart, the rear shocks looked to good to toss so i decided to put the springs on the front forks just to see what it would look like. It somewhat imitates a springer so i stuck with it.
Built it for your wife? Okay, it’s the “her’s”.The madness would be not building a “his”. The springs are cool. And different. But that’s what it’s all about. You got the tools and the talent and winter’s coming.Time to lock yourself in the laboratory.
Hey, Ive seen this bike around. Im outta boise. I ride with Garage Built Boise. Next time you see one of us, tag along.
Great bike.
