200mm rear stretched custom XS650
- 9
Write about your XS650.: This is my first xs650 chopper build. I needed something to occupie my time after divorce, this is what i came up with, black widow 200mm kit, i build on the existing frame, and alot of other parts, custom exhaust, hd front end and a stretch gas tank.
Its a 1976 motor and its still stoke other then the electronic ignition.. feel free to tell me what you think i know its got faults, but it was a fun winter project..

Looks absolutely tits to me man. Nice build.
I agree with Matt , looks great! very very cool looking bike.
Dude that is awesome ride it
this bike has style and personality I love it
Thayne, the frame is totally sick-ass. And the tank sets off the stretched backbone beautifully. Any plans to shave the forks? Please(!) post the completion.
Thane,
From one old builder to a new one,congradulations!The bike is absolutely beautiful,wouldn’t change a damn thing.
Divorce is a mutherfucker and i’m glad you found something to keep your head busy instead of hangin’ around a bar or doin’ a bunch of dope or somethin’stupid like that.(I learned the hard way)
Do yourself and all of us a favor and build another one cause you have a gift that so many folks can only wish they had.
Good job!
Thanks for all your comments, I enjoyed building this with my brother and my dad. We all put in long hours in the garage to get it done for the summer to play.. I apreciate all of the insperation and imagination Ive seen on this site.. We are now building my brother one.. ? for everyone out there should i paint this bike.. Or just seal the metal so it wont rust and ride the hell out of it..
Wow that Frame looks GREAT! good looking bike!
By far the best looking bike ive seen on this site. FANTASTIC! Great frame absolutley love it.
