Write about your XS650.: Spring is here a and it is almost ready to ride. It is a 78 XS with a TC bros hard tail. Rear wheel is a Akront 3.5″ x16″ and front is from Mike’s XS, It is 19″. I drilled the front rotor because I thought it looked neat. Forward controls are from a 70′s harley sportster. Pipes are from a guy named Scott from the east coast, his work is very good.
Rear fender is a 36 ford spare tire cover. I raised the tunnel on the tank to lower the tank. It kept the bars from hitting the tank. It is tore down and being painted right now. I work in a body shop and I really hate painting my own stuff so work on it has not progressed as fast as I wish it was. I am hoping to have it on the road soon. I will post a few more pictures of it when it is complete. Are there any more builders in South East Idaho?

I like the pipes a lot…- But I damn sure like the way you got the gastank down on the centerbar…- I read and noted that you had cut the tank tunnel yourself….- I envy anyone who can cut and weld a GASTANK…- For Me…- the Road To Hell has been paved by chopper gastanks with shallow tunnels….
…..You are gonna have a Really Good Chopper there…- er…- well, – You already DO…- but it is the same color as the background and a little hard to see…
……..For some reason it makes complete sense to me that a guy who works in a paint and body shop would take FOREVER before he paints his own bike….
Nice work
Slick! That’s pretty much exactly what I’ll be going for on my 81.
Great lines very very nice bike.
