You cut it in half!
Write about your XS650.: Hi All, New to this site, I like it. It is exactly what I am trying to do.
This is my project; I have a few friends that are chopping up BSA’s and Triumphs.
I just could not bring myself to drop 2K on a donor bike no matter how cool.
So I decided to look at other donor bike candidates, I made a list of several bike models to chop.
As I was driving past a yard sale I caught a glimpse of a beat to shit bike.
Almost rear-ending the car in front of me and a quick u-turn to my surprise it was a 1972 XS650.
$150.00 Score! Note: it might be worth buying a bike with a lot more serviceable parts it would save a few bucks. Read More

No Leaf Clover
It was my old 650.“No Leaf Clover”
This bike started out for me as a payment for doing a repo, for a gentleman who owned a pawn shop. (which is a pretty good story in itself.) I rode it ragged that summer. Took a trip to Yellowstone from Southern Utah. And did as many “mini” rides as possible. As the weather grew cold I sold it. 4 years later I had been working with my brother, custom painting bikes, and doing slight mods to Harleys. A goof ball guy that loved to stop by all the time talk with us had just bought a bike, and wanted to see if I had time to help him get it running again. When he brought it by I recognized the bike. It was my old 650. I bought it off him and went to work on it. The back was stretched 5.5 inches. Read More
