1975 XS 650
This bike, all original, had been sitting in a garage for over 5 years when I bought it. I welded a hardtail onto the original frame, and used an aftermarket sportster tank. I handmade the battery box, installed all new lights and gauges, and it now has a snakeskin seat.


I did many, many other odds and ends.
I molded all the weldings and then I painted the entire bike a Firemist Orange.

Thanks Tim Clemens











Very nice work Tim.
Very clean, simple build. Excellent job!
You did a lot of really fine work on your own. Nice job on the cases. I’d go to hot rod nights on it for sure.
I”ve been wanting to do a bike with painted matching frame I just haven’t seen too many this one looks good
Nice ride. I really like the color. Nice work. Clean and simple.
hey great bike would this be considered a 650b? please let me know. thanks
