Write about your XS650.: This is my 650 I built about 5 years ago , it was total scrap untill I built it from the frame up , it has a hotwing seat that hinges on a stock pan , hooker header with a yoshimura carbon fiber muffler , it`s a blast to ride.

I want to hear it with that yosh pipe on there. I love the sound of those muffs on rice burners.
Mark nice Tracker,the tuning forks on the tank nice touch, the paint looks great and that swing arm is that off a radian, and the muff whats that sound like?? Thanks for sharing your sweet ride. KenB
yes it has a radian swing arm on it now , it`s stiffer than stock and looks better also , the pipe sounds great , the best xs650 I`ve ever heard ,I have a chopper project in the works , but still in the collecting stage .
I’d love to hear that sound you should make a youtube vid
yea I’am sure it sounds sweet, I would love to hear it! it sure is a nice build, I’am lookin to build a trials xs 650, in the gathering stage also, got the donor, lookin for tank, ect. Lovin it!

Very nice and well assembled bike. It’s nice to see diversity on this site. I’m a fan of all kinds of bikes and won’t limit myself to choppers/bobbers only. A bike like yours’ will soon be on our list of to do projects and can only hope it will be as pristine as yours. Build s’more.

thanks for the nice coments guys ,
is it hard to push that rear brake pedal with the exhaust right there?
the exhaust doesnt interfear with the brake at all , it looks funny in the picture but it works as normal as stock .
Are you in NC, I swear I saw this bike near Salisbury at a Show last year…
hugh , yes you did , that was our clubs vintage bike show . I looked at your bike briefly because I was running the show , I was too busy to spend much time with any one bike . I hope you can make it this year may 1st. I read your whole article on pirate 4×4 a couple of weeks ago , it was great !!!!!! I love your bike and the work you have put into it .
Sure why not! I might have a few bike to bring this year if I get them done int time… I knew that was the same bike I saw from the cam covers, those are really kick ass… May 1st, I’ll write it down….
