Jeffs Second Bike update

xs650 chop noid DSCF4344 587x435 Jeffs Second Bike update

Well i never sold it! And im glad i didnt. i changed the exhaust to these board tracker style pipes i found on ebay. I also changed the footbrake to a rearset off of some crotch rocket and it works awesome. I replaced the clutch and springs and re jetted the carbs and its really starting to come around.

Im forever changing things on it so i havent really wanted to paint it yet since im always cutting off and rewelding things all over the bike.

So the primer brown rattle can makes for easy touch ups and the color is really growing on me so ill probably leave it.

    WOW, by far one of my favorite bikes on here. I am a huge fan of the drop seat and just love it here. This bike has such a great stance. That looks like the same gas tank that the Detroit Bros use on most of their builds, and I was never a huge fan of the way it looked, but on this bike i cant imagine any other style tank that would look better! Great work.

    later,

    blackdeth666,

    I believe it is a Rapido tank off an old Harley. You can also get replicas of them made by a company but they dont look as nice as the real thing, and i think the replicas are a bit smaller. You can see the replicas here..
