- 6

Write about your XS650.: Ive been a h-d rider for 10 years, but after seeing the Harley world turn to poop i decided i want to have a bike with some personality.

i work at a large h-d dealership in sc and upon buying my $1800 project every one said why? i say why not? they say when are you gonna get another h-d?


I say i don’t want another one! here is some pics of my 1981 xs 650. I will keep yall updated, let me know what ya think so far but be nice. Its mine not yours….











nice start good looking rear wheel……are you building it at the HD shop, looks like it if so thats freaking great!!
thanks alot! yeah i am buildin at the hd shop i work at! i like being hidden in a corner
i have a h-d that im sick of, just brat styled a gs 550 rode it for a month and sold it to make room for a xs build but having a hard time finding a donor bike here in tx. especialy one as clean as yours was! By the way if anyone from north tx. reads this I have cash!!!
Well I don’t have a donor bike, but I am down by College Station! check my profile on here and go to “my” website and look me up on there.
An XS build in an HD shop. I love it. Hhaha
