Outkast 650
- 13
Write about your XS650.: Here are some pics of me crazy 650 that i started this winter. the wheels are from a bullet bike and the tank i a hodaka.
The back half of the frame is hand build and it is one low bike there is a lot of hand made stuff on this bike and more to come.
With those forward controls looks like you may run into trouble with your legs hitting your carbs, and you definitely won’t have room for air filters. Have you run a chain on it? It looks like it will hit your frame. I like what you are going for.
Mick.
cool bike man i like the stance of it!thats a bad ass dodge too!
look’n sick man, what kind of stretch you got going on that rear end?
That is sick-ass, bro’. You’ll be ridin’ ’round town with yer pants on the ground! Extremely radical taken to a new level…LOOOOOOWW! So long as you can lean it in the turns without scraping anything. Love it!
that bike is sick! im planning on starting an xs project in a few weeks here and i planned on building a drop seat hardtail also…. just what i wanted to see man.
apparently you don’t plan to run a chain on that beast. can you say friction drive?
Mick and Capt. Awesome have valid points.Two chain tensioners to redirect the chain path? Is this possible? I need to go take a pill. My brain hurts from thinking. Oh, “It’s only impossible ’cause nobody’s ever done it before.”…..Evel Kneivel
I like the sport bike wheels
the problem with excess chain tensioners would be a significant amount of stress on the output shaft from the front sprocket. i doubt the bearing can handle the extra tension constantly applying pressure to it. this just goes to show you that a mock up stage needs every component imaginable to alleviate such mistakes. not saying it can’t be done, but i am curious to see the way around it.
like the bike but love the truck lol.
can we get an update soon on this wicked bie
from the look of the right side exaust….. you’ll need to find some fireproof pants killer idea maybe just needs a few moe beers during the brain storming sessions?
awesome frame and tank
