Write about your XS650.: Shes finally done. I think. My 78 xs650.she still needs to be painted but i am going to wait for the winter time.
I am keeping the tank bare metal but i will be clear coating it. Also the wheels will be all black.Thanx for looking.

I think the wheels look ok….the color they are…..they match the tank.
Hey Danny,i’m a big fan of your bike.
Really sweet!
do you have a problem with your handlebars hitting your tank?
I have a sportster tank also but when i put my tank al the way up the spine of the frame,there’s not enough clearence voor my handlebars when fully tilted.
Thanks for the pictures.really good for inspiration.

Thanx Salomon for the comments. I have had no issues with the bars. And have not had to do any mods to make them fit. I will try to send u more pic if u give me your email.

Hey bud, love your bike, could i ask what kinda handlebars are those? also, if thats a factory sportster tank, how did you mount? and any extra pictures you’d like to email to me would be awesome, dbjones@jacks.sdstate.edu.
thanx for looking Drew. The bars are clubman. To mount the tank u have to weld on a bracket up frt and drill holes and place screws in the back, and use the stock tank holes
Hey bro, what size rear tire did you go with? and what tire is it(manufacture/model) think it would finish off my build.
