75' Hardtail Build

[tsommers]

After reading punkskalar's build thread 50 times over on pirate4x4.com i knew i wanted to build an xs650. So after some searching i found this one and built it. I did everything myself, with a goal to make everything in my garage that i could. I really like the look of dimple dies, i wanted to drill holes in everything that i could Neck tube guessets, seat tube cross member, foot peg mounts and so on. I still have a few things i want to do but but while being in school it will go kinda slow, but this is where im up to as of now.

Thanks, i made the pan out of 1/8th steel and then hacked up a yoga mat for some padding

Im not too sure on the plaid, i will probably re-wrap it in some sort of black cloth. But thats after i do some business with you on the banshee swap.
