100% Proof 79 xs650 (first build)
It started as a $45 rolling turd pulled from a scrap pile, motor turned over had some redneck compression, so i loaded it up. me and my 6 yr old son tore all the ugly shit off. He had an absolute blast and has helped a ton during the build, picked up a mustang tank at a garage sale, cut a little over 3 inches out of the middle and added a small tunnel. Read More
David Munoz – XS650 RACER
THIS IS MY SECOND PROJECT BIKE THAT I AM BUILDING. THIS IS A COMPLETE GROUND UP ONE OFF PROJECT. I SALVAGED A 1977 FRAME AND CHOPPED IT UP TO ADAPT AN XS400 SECA REAR SWING ARM WITH A TRIUPH REAR SHOCK. THE FORKS ARE FROM AN 80 XS1100 WITH CUSTOM 06 R1 ROTORS IN THE FRONT AND BACK. Read More
“Hard Luck” Bobber
This is my 1976 XS650. I bought it on craigslist about a year ago while I was deployed in the middle east. My dad went to pick it up and it was at some hippies apartment in San Francisco. The guy was living on his couch and the bike was buried in his bedroom under 20 years of junk. It hadn’t been started since 1983 (or registered, a whole other story), at least it was inside!!

Joel Guerra ” Solo Custom Cycles”
I built this bike last year and road the crap out of it, then started to notice that the frame would crack. So about every two weeks I would weld it up and get back on the road. I love these bikes but the vibration can be a little annoying the first 30 mins or so.
Dirty D’s Chopp Shop
This bike started out as a 1978 xs650 special with 16k miles and the build time was approximately 6 months. Dirty D hardtailed the frame using a TCBros weld-on rigid hardtail frame section that incorporates 3 inches of stretch and 5 inches of ground clearance, which gives the bike a very balanced look and stance.
Updated Anodized Red XS650
I made a few changes since my last post, most of which were minor embellishments that included a lot of polishing and drilling lots of holes which kind of started a theme so I went with it. I’m not a great welder, so I made a new faux oil tank by piecing together two paint gun cans which comes apart in the middle like cracking open an egg so I can get to fuses without tools. Read More
