Hey all!
Just picked up a new little gem. This is my first xs650 build, and ill say, my first "official post" here. Its my second bike, first was a cute little 03 cbr600 that i did up in a custom flavour, but Im a jeep man.
Sold a moderately built cherokee i had been working on from stock up for the last three years. Sold her for travel and now im back in Canada and have the itch again.
My whole family rides, harley's mostly, and im going to stir the pot a bit.
To the build!
My idea:
A hybrid brat/bobber/tracker bike of my own taste and style. Very simple, to the point, with dashingly good looks and power to boot.
I picked up this 77 partial build last week, and trailered it out to my parents shop, to go hard for a week and see what I can do. The bike is a 77, engines bored to .050 over, NGK plugs, straight exhaust (mean as hell), brand new paint job and resto job on a 73ish tank, custom seat, etc etc. Pics will show you more. The bike didn't really run but with some playing with the carbs, some fuel, and enough kicks to make my leg numb, the bike is now a 1-3ish kicker. Im sure this will only improve as it gets ridden. It has not been ridden for a few years. Now its time to ride the thing like I stole it AKA Its gunna love me.
Onto the pics.
