Any other frames recommended

[ceejay51]

Hi All,

Newbie to the forum and just bought myself an XS650 motor. I'm looking to build a cafe racer and am looking for some advise on frames I could use other than the stock XS frame.

Any thoughts or comments appreciated

You could try a Rickman frame http://www.rickman-motorcycles.com/parts-and-prices.php , or buy a Featherbed frame for a true cafe racer look, or did you mean frames from other manufacturers that the engine will fit into?

With enough cutting and welding you can fit your engine into any frame.
I suggest you start with an XS650 frame with good paper. Hate to spend a ton of cash building a bike that can't be put on the road.

I have my eye on a Z650 frame that has paperwork and the price looks sensible at the minute.
