Update xs 650 street tracker Cycle Sports of Houston

We started out with a Rusted ’75 xs650 rolling chassis that was outside for about 16 years. Tried to keep it as cheap as possible by just refinishing, replating, and rebuilding all the stock componets and using stuff we had laying around off of other bikes.

Has Yamaha, Harley, Kawasaki, Honda, Suzuki as well as many custom items we built to complete the project. The pipes were built by Jemco Exhausts here in Houston, the rims and fuel cap were powder coated, everything else, paint included was done right here, paint was done outside, even the airbrushing. It was a 6 month project, we like the way it came out, hope You guys do too!

    Thanks for the compliments guys!! We have about 100 miles on it now and It runs, rides, handles and sounds excellent. The Jemco pipes are truly a work of art and I havent heard a better sounding set of pipes on any XS650.
