Yea, like I said I'm a pretty big guy so I can see over it easily. If I get pulled over it will be due to the strait pipes, no blinkers, vert licens plate (illegally painted black and yellow) or the off to one side tail light haha. In ca everything is illegal but when your little brother is in...

Yea, I got the tires specifically for the bike, they were the cheapest old looking tires I found. $120 for both with free shipping. The light looked way to low mounted on the lower portion of the triple tree. Also I think having the headlight higher makes the rest of the bike seem more...

Well finally after 2 years of gathering parts its time to start putting them all together. Found the the frame with a Lowbrow hard tail for $300! With registration and! license plate, here in California thats a big deal!:D Anyway, that was the last thing since I stumbled upon the motor a...

awesome thanks for the info!

I was wondering if any of the xs750 triple clamps fit the xs650's and if so what years. Im asking because you can find a lot more xs750 triple clamps then 650's... Not exactly sure on the year of my frame, its at home and I forgot off hand. I found a hard tailed frame a while back for a...

yea. The short wheel base is something I was going for. I want it to have that board-track racer vibe.... Ill mesure the wheel base when i get home... but here are some updates... I was thinking gloss black with flat black pin stripes. what do you guys think. I alos ordered the...

yea its not going to be a normal cruising bike...more like a rat rod...very uncomfortable for short rides and park it.... i wanted it to look as chopped and dropped as possible. The front fork has to be charged and the back tire is a little flat too, so it will go up about an inch or so also.

ok, that sounds good... i suck at electrical stuff. Can i get a list of what i should buy? This is what i have on my list so far. - spark plugs obviously (already have some) - batt - regulator box - ignitor coil - spark plug wires im probably going to buy it all form mikes...

well the frame that i modified is a 72 enduro frame...and thats the vin that will be registered, so i think i will be able to get away with having less on the bike... I would like to be able to not have to run a battery, but is that magnet alt what comes on the motor stock? or something i...

built some exhaust for the bike this weekend... will post some more pics in a bit...

so i pulled those covers off and there was pretty much nothing in there. you can see a pic of it below.. now I just need to know what to get...i don't plan on running a starter, and I will run one tail light and one head light. Trying to keep it as simple as possible. I would like to run a...

need an exhaust flange for my motor.... and have only found some for 40 to to 80 bucks...thats way to much

yea i dont i bought the motor separate and am using another frame that im building...the stock exhaust it super pricy too...

I have a 82 motor, and having a hard time finding exhaust flanges only for the custom exhaust pipes. Any recommendations on where to pick some up. ive found a some at $20 each, but that seems a little steep to me? Am I wrong?

Not sure...that's the next step. I bought the engine as it sits in the bike. It has good compression though, you can hear it working if you push the kick start down slowly. Getting it to run is what I may need help with...

I was just talking to my friend about having a grenade clutch leaver like that! Bike looks sweet...did you paint he engine or have it painted? I was thinking of going that direction but instead of black and gold doing a gloss/flat black paint job...

Yea we were looking at it on Saturday. I was always going to converge the old swing arm in to part of the hard tail...I did it like this since I have never built a bike before and I didn't have a jig. So it kept things true while I did the upper part. Anyway, when I weld and brace the...

Have some updates on the bike...fully mounted the motor gas tank (harly sportster tank) and seat, along with the pegs and kick stand... The pics are from the mock up and we finished in the dark...ill try and get some finished pics tonight. but you can see how it will basically end up...

The seat will be about a couple of inched above the fender which will be about and inch and a half above the tire. The rear fender will start at the swing arm and only go about 4 inches past the seat as you can see in the pic. As for the big bumps I'm just gunna have to make sure more of my...

I thought id post up my project since i made some good progress this weekend. Its a 82 650 motor and the frame started off as a 71 yamaha 175 enduro. I chopped the frame and made it a hard tail, and cut the front portion of the frame and re did the back bone to fit the motor. Its a...
