NEW BUILD TURBO ORANGE
- 22 Comment
DADDYGCYCLES out of NEW YORK
1979 XS650 with TCB hardtail, battery box/oil tankfoward controls. WiseGUY manifolds, ARDCORE SEAT, and of corse you got to add MIKES XS. All of these guys are great and parts are perfect. I did something different on this build and polished up the battery box and oil tank and came up nice. Bike was built low and to go.
Powdercoated wheels and front lower legs and COOL TURBO MUSTANG ORANGE paint. All new bearings everywhere and carbs, electronic ignition, seat, tank, fender, bars,powder coated wheels and just about $2200.00 in just new parts. Paint is 2004 Ford Mustang Corba Color looks orange and then looks red a cool color. I would like to thank TCB, ARDCORE,WISE GUYS,MIKES for the Great parts and FAST shipping. DADDYGCYCLES is a small shop and build about 8 bikes a year and with out these guys it would not be possible.
There was alot of polishing on parts on this build and i think it was worth it looks nice and very different build for me. I am a FLAT BLACK GUY and build very CRAZY Style bikes which you can see on my site. But i am happy with the build.
LATER KEEP BUILDING
Looks great working on mocking mine up and then I am going to paint. I like the tires were did you get those. I am looking and haveing a hard time to find.

Cool bike Dude! Is that a horn I see on the side? Not too many horns on choppers these days.HaHa
Beautiful bike! In the top 5 of my favorites. Great job!
Looks to me like you nailed it.
I was wondering what that color combination would look like, it’s excellent.
Great bike.
nice horn placement
dude,i love it .so simple,sweet & sexy,just like my wife…ha ha.just the look i’m going for,not too flash,just cool as f*$k.love the colour, a real head turner.well done ,great bike & an inspiration to get mine done.your the daddy!
question: no top motor mount? reason?
You can contact me on the tires and i will turn you on to vendor.
No top motor mount because it is much cleaner and you already have front ,back,lower mount. I have built bikes with only two mounts.This looks cleaner and shows off the motor. Coil is mounted on down tube between CARBS>
Hey Rich bad ass build. I actually bought a 70 motor and front frame from you in the summer, I’ll be putting up my pics also, good job
Awesome ride!! Was wandering what type of seat that is, homemade or aftermarket?
Hey DaddyG,
Is that the stock ride height, or did you shorten the forks at all? All in all great bike! Cheers, Mark
Cool bike I like it.just clean and simple
Hey Chris whats up!
Bike has a very slight rake to it and front end has 2″ lowering blocks in tubes to give it a look like its leaning foward but other than that stock. This bike is very light and very clean simple wireing car ignition switch,horn button,neutral light,H/L light switch and i put a panic switch on/off in headlight just in case.Going to start offering my wireing harness setup soon. All you have to do is plug in your electronics and mount fake oil tank that will have everything done on it and all wires marked for easy hookup.Building another of these in fire engine red and when done its going on EBAY with NO RESERVE. OK got to go do some work bikes are calling!!!!
Nice bike!! Whats your ground clearance and stretch on that?
Thanks!
@ Blackwidow- I agree. Just clean and simple. I think I dig the front end the most. Very very clean. I took out the neck gussets on my ride already but have reservations about getting rid of the top motor mount.
where did you find that rear fender?
Choice, I dig it! Nice and simple, kick ass dude!
Are those Mike XS drag bars? and I wanna give you props for doing what you love and building really neat bikes
Not much use for it. I’m down in the south west and would have to get to London or Birmingham first.Our train services are a joke as it is. This sounds like a pipe dream.
This bike is awesome exact clean look I’m going for. Gloss black or matte black tank or even gun metal gray or like a raw steel look perfect !!!
