Raty, jr, gary....all critisims that hold valid point and rebuddled, but all comments that are completely respected and appreciated

Lol....here's your chance to feel like you have a chance to set me straight and have a voice? HAHA People are making remarks about paint and lengthening of downtubes on frame etc...which its a rat bike and patina'd so comments about paint are irrelevant and shows stupidity in responses. I make...

Alex- bike still runs great, sat apart over 6 months and started 2nd kick! I just wanted to see what some people thought of something thats not a lane splitter or built from a tcbros mag....obviously alot of people like that style more. Im not offended any. Id like to cruise the bike by the shop...

The driveway angle doesn't help the lines on the bike. Thanks for the words guys!

Only in pics do the wheels look that shiny. "Needs" would be a vintage tail light to go with theme. Pics are taken with crappy cell phone. Maybe better pics that capture it how its sits would portray it better? I never said it was exactly what I want and built for myself etc.... I like...

Thanks appreciate it! I found even if I list at $3000 firm people will still offer so I tried it this way to keep non serious offers away

I asked to hopefully hear input from xs people...not people that come on here to "look" up ideas and order all tcbros parts. Lots of people ask about 130/90/16 tires front and rear and when someone does it, now the bike is worth $1000? I could get $2300 separating tank, wheels, motor and frame...

Lol...... $1000 in wheels tires, can ride over 100 miles a day reliably....can your bikes that aren't "rat bikes"....2 small reasons. One off early 60s Honda tank? Worth $300 off the bike? Any BIKE builders and appreciaters instead of people that look at pics of xs650s and think they are...

Its a rat bike with patina.....paint wont help? OBVIOUSLY!! What point are you making??? Stock front half of frame....and it runs amazing.... Let me guess....another person that thinks every XS is a sportster tank with splitter bars

Judging by your reply, we know to take you as serious as the goat in your avatar.

im pretty sure I skipped a January update because she has sat in pieces while parts gather for a while. here is the new 16" wheels with tank and lowered forks. i did an artificial patina on tank and headlight. will put a build thread together when the rest of the disassembly and reassembly...

Nice tires avon distanzia?

I just did same thing brother! But only spent 150 on powder vs. brass. But 16s front and rear with tires im at 1150ish

I'm see it now! Great idea! Scrolling through so damn fast on my cell phone I skipped over it to the complete bike pics. I dig the bars too. Similar to mine. I bought 7/8 clip ons with removable handles and I cut some xs400 bars and used the bends as handles for a similar custom clip on look.
