I am going to try and attempt to do a bobber build thread on my XS650. I have been primarily into hotrods and vintage cars the last 20 years. I happened to catch a thread on a car site of a person who built a XS650 bobber. After I seen that thread I thought the XS650 bobber was the coolest thing I had ever seen. Shortly after that I hit craigs list, ebay, etc. One day I stopped by a small local motorcycle repair shop and they just happened to have this 1973 XS650 in tucked away in a corner. After looking it over and not really knowing what I was looking at I ended up buying it with a few conditions with the owner. One could I get a title? he didnt have one. He had to put the carbs back on and get the bike to fire up. He said it ran when it came in to the shop. Long story short I was able to do both. Here is a picture of before and after of todays strip down work. i already bought a TC Brothers hardtail frame and plans are to get that welded on later this week.
