BRUNO THE BOBBER
Another XS650 I built in my little shop in Kirkland, WA. Write about your XS650.: Here’s another bike I built in my little shop in Kirkland, WA. A friend suggested the name for this one, and I think it fits. BRUNO THE BOBBER. Everything has been bead blasted, and powder coated. Here is a list [...]
MAGILLA THE 650
Write about your XS650.: This one is another TRACKABOB that I have built. I named this one MAGILLA. This engine was originally a point’s engine. It has been upgraded with an electronic ignition system & a high out-put dual fire coil. The carbs were re-built. Everything was bead blasted, and powder coated. No paint on [...]
PUNKIN HEAD
Write about your XS650.: I built this bike for a guy up in Canada. He wanted (and needed) certain things on the bike. canadian rules dictate that the bike had to have blinkers so I modified a stock wiring harness to enable it to pass through the frame, and be out of the way.
THE RED BARRON
Write about your XS650.: The Blue Dahlia led to The Red Barron. ’80 frame with a ’79 motor & a CDI set-up installed. This one has a chrome 1963 Ducati 350 tank on it. Eagle one seat…Heritage special wheels. Again everything on the bike is powder coated.
THE BLUE DAHLIA
Write about your XS650.: I named this bike The Blue Dahlia because i think it’s a killer bike. it’s got an Arlen Ness one piece aluminum tank, and everything on the bike is powder coated. Lots of little trick bits & pieces on this one.
The Frankenstein Bike
Write about your XS650.: This one got named FRANKENSTEIN because of the way the tank looked when I got it. There was quite a bit of work involved in getting the bike to it’s final state, and I think the completed bike was well worth the effort.
The Bandit Bike
Write about your XS650.: This bike began life as a 1980 XS Special II. I made a few changes to it as you can see. It’s got a Harley king tank, and quite a few after market bits & pieces. The end result was pretty nice I think.
TRACK-A-BOB
Write about your XS650.: This bike is my initial build using a scheme I came up with where I borrow certain styling cues from Street Trackers & certain ones from a Bobber. I then put together what I call A TRACKABOB.
