Video of it running

and I will add some pictures finally

Gotta ask man. How much did that paint set you back? If you don't mind me asking. Also, you can PM it to me if you want.

Looks slick man.

Hey. those carbs look pretty good.

By the by....

Did you get the mike's pods for 38's?

I haven't bought anything yet. Should I?

Well, i use the Mike's BS-38 pods - they work well, and they're really not that expensive. Other pods may have a lip inside that will cause your slides to not work properly.

Sounds good. I will save up and see when I can get them.

That was like a year ago.

You need some double knit plaid bell bottoms to ride that.

Nice job!

I have to say that the final product is not my particular style (you'll probably say the same about my bike, its OK). However, you did do an awesome job tying it all together, and the quality you restored the parts to is amazing. Well done, very well done!!

Thanks! I did my best to reuse all the rusty metal and original stuff that I could. What is the link to your build thread?

Me too

Just had to push through and keep going. Many sleepless nights and drooling at work during the days.

Touche Alfredo, I have no build post yet. I will get it posted soon. Hopefully I have the patience you had , that way my wallet doesn't suffer. Thanks again for sharing. I'll let you know when my thread is started, probably a week or two.

I would lower the front forks for a better stance. Easy to do.

He raised it on purpose.

IMHO, as an example of a 70's retro-mod, it's fantastic. Those spoke rims came out awesome, and the paint is ... insert another similar adjective to "awesome". Well done, i hope you have a fantastic time on it!

 

[kvanderploeg]

Thanks for the kind words amigos! It's been a pleasure doing this with you all. Couldn't have even done 5% of what I did without this forum and the people in it.

I'm looking forward to feeding my xs650.com addiction more this summer. Also, enjoying the b-jesus out of the bike.

I dig the bike for sure. That paint is amazing.

One question. Any worries about getting a toe in e flywheel without no stator cover?
