2013 xs650 build off bikes

[I am Carbon]

Inevitable, looking good

 

[Inevitable]

Thanks Carbon =)! Good news today...finally got caught up on my hospital bills, at least enough to a point where I can reasonably keep up with the payments and start putting more money into the bike!

 

[Jfowler]

Checking in for feb.I am still waiting on some money but the ardtail is ordered should be here in another 3 weeks.Got a 21" front wheel from mikes xs.Hopefully progress will pick up soon.

I've got a busy couple weeks coming up so I spent the day getting a couple bigger things checked off my list.

I got my pipes fitted and tacked.



I also made all the bungs and bent up my struts, then welded them all up. These are all stainless and will be polished when I break everything down.




I need to figure out the lower fender mount and sissy bar next.

Damn your build looks freakin sick! The paint tins! Oh my!!!

 

[livingdeadmc]

Thanks dude!!!

 

[I am Carbon]

I like the pipes n struts.
couple questions.
How are You going to coat the pipes?
Did i hear You say sissybar?
No one uses sissybars
Do they?
I'm a thinking I'm happy to be in the video class.
That way I only get me ass kicked by 2 bikes
Keep up the good work Brother livingdeadmc

Thanks man! The pipes will either get chromed or ceramic coated with a brushed stainless finish To match the other stainless goodies Im doing). Ill spin up some brass trim rings for the ends of the pipes.

Yea Im doing a 12" tall sissy bar out of stainless, I'm just trying to decide if i want to mount my brake lights on the sissy bar or frame...

I unno about getting your ass kicked by two bikes I am Carbon, you are looking pretty sweet where you are, and I'm still miles behind you in my build.

everyone else seems to be moving right along. a lot of nice bikes. hopefully mine will at least be worthy of sitting next to some of these beauties!
