Greetings from Finland! So, it’s a 73 XS 650. This build is the second coming of the bike, That’s why the name “Segundo”. The Frame is rigid with 3” strech at the back.
The tank is narrowed, “ribbed” and re-tunneled Mustang. Handlebars and exhaust self-bended . The Rear fender is a re-production Triumph. Front end from Sportster, shaved and polished with 21” wheel. At the back is 18” wheel with disc brake.
Sweet candy flake paint made by The Heinimaa Brothers. Stripes by Tini.. This bike runs so great thanks to Boyer Bransden ignition, Mikuni flatside carbs and complete engine renewal.
Keep the six-fifties on the road! Love this site, respect!

Pretty nice ride Jussi,
I bought the sept. issue of Back Street Heroes wich includes an article of it.
Really like it, it put the level again a bit higher. Great to see the polished engine, and, and….just tasty!
Good lord that’s a clean engine. Did you alter the sporty forks or the XS frame to make that front end work? That shit is Finnish-d! Nice
AWE-some
It’s rare to find an XS in Finland that does not have skis on it. The bike is called El Vagabundo Segundo, Finnish for “Hold My Beer.” An alternate translation could be, “Turn up the sauna.” Described by his friends as “Embittered,” Jussi Lindgren can empty a bottle of Kossu faster than his XS can do the quarter mile. He is embittered because, as he puts it, “There’s a lot of blondes in Finland. This, however, hardly makes up for the short riding season.” He continued, “STP stops teenage pregnancy, and they don’t sell it here.” This explains why many of the children in Helsinki look like him. “When I’m riding my XS,” says Jussi, “every day is Valentine’s Day.”
“I customized this bike to get chicks,” he said ruefully. “It worked a little too well.”
Finland is renowned as the world’s second largest exporter of ice cubes, trailing slightly behind Canada.
CRAP!!! Now I’m not happy with my stock front motor mount bracket. oh ya, people did a nice job for you. bike looks good.
Beautiful!! What kinda condition was the original bike in??
grease nipples…take it easy
It should be in a museum. A work of art.
Thumbs Up! Really love it’s slim line and color combinations.
Well done, have fun with it.
KICK ASS !!! : )>
Cleaner than my silver wear, for real, good work
I love almost all bobbers but this is the very best Yamaha bobber I have ever seen in my 52 years.
Excellent in all directions, simply the best.
Man, your bike looks good. I love the chrome on the base of the engine. Good job !
Gorgeous bike! Congratulations on the 2nd coming. I love the exhaust. It compliments everything nicely. And the tank itself is a work of art! Nice job!
Wow, Super clean bike. Looks great!
Very nice,clean and skinnie,cool upper motor mount
Somebody get a mop, thats bike got cool dripping everywhere
really beautiful bike. I can’t say enough good things about it. I love how clean it is instead of like all the other beat up chopper builds which those are cool too but it’s nice to see a bike all cleaned up and ready to show.
wow that is one of my favorite xs bikes ever. Damn Finland
Saying this is a clean build, is like saying the xs650 is a good bike, LOL.
El Vagabundo Segundo
