Extra XS650.com t-shirts now available
Now that I'm fairly confident everyone got their t-shirt from the presale, the extra shirts are available for anyone who wants one. There are no Small or 4XL shirts, but at least two of all of the other sizes. Add a shirt to your cart then click checkout and it will tell you if your size is out of stock.

XS650.com T-shirt Presale (Presale ends Sunday April 30th, 2017 at 11pm CDT)
XS650.com T-Shirt Presale! (Presale ends Sunday April 30th, 2017 at 11pm CDT)
People have been asking about getting t-shirts made again so we're doing a run of them. The last time we did this was in 2011 and 2012. Daniel Peirce was nice enough to let us use his XS650 engine photo again. We are keeping things simple this time with only black short sleeve t-shirts. They are silk screen printed (7 screens) on Gildan Ultra Cotton shirts. A presale is being held to make sure everyone gets the size they want. The presale will go until 11pm CDT on Sunday April 30th. After the presale, only a few extra shirts will be ordered, so sizes will be extremely limited... To make sure you get the shirt(s) you want, order today!

Back - Digital mock-up
