CONTRADICTION
- 7
79 XS650 ALASKAN BUILT CHOPPED, RAKED, LOUD, AND DIRTY. ALL MODS DONE BY ME. OLIVE DRAB, THE HEADLIGHT IS FROM A 30′s DEUCE. well i call the bike contradiction because its a japanese bike that is covered in American ww2 memorabilia. The engine is not a rebuild, just painted. it rides great, its the perfect bike for ketchikan Alaska because the main highway is only 30 miles long. It took 5 months two build when i had the time. Paint was done at the house the tank and seat is from a bike in the junk yard my favorite thing is the 30s duece headlight.
TALIGHT FOM AN OLD BUICK, REAR FENDER WAS AN OLD SPARE TIRE COVER FROM 40′s FORD PICK UP.

Interesting, kinda neat like a three balled Billy Goat.
Just cant help yourself but to sit and stare. Enjoy.
must be some rough roads up there in moose country.
is that a gun or a flashlight on the back fender.
is it raked out??I’m not into raked bikes but this one if it is, is done very modestly I like it
yes it is raked, and it is a 90 degree flashlight with a bipod pouch used as a tool bag
30 miles of highway… Where are you? Last year I bought the only (that I know about) XS on Kodiak.
At the time in ketchikan but I moved back to tn
Looks like its from WWII great job.
