Hey mates, Learning lots on here!

Thought I'd throw up a few pics of my bike built by Sean McLeannan (Sean's Non-Stock Customs) with a little of my own handywork thrown into the mix (eventually). Super talented builder and hell of a nice guy!

Started life as a 81 XS650.. now... not so much

Pics for clicks!

looks nice. How's it ride?
That one o them new blue walls?
The only thing I see Im not comfortable with is the pusher for the rear mc. That angle could close up on a o shit moment. Back brakes don't do much, but your always glad when they are there when You need them. The other thing is the wrap around brakeline. Was it too long? its not really a problem, but asthetically..............
Im not trolling your bike. I think its pretty cool.

Hi Evan,
I'm with angus on the rear m/c pushrod. That sucker gonna bend before it pushes when you stomp on it hard.
Like when that cell-phone yabbling soccer mom's SUV runs through a stop sign in front of you.
And you know that's gonna happen, eh?

User what you guys are saying for sure. Do you think welding in an angled support brace on the inside of the radius would suffice to stiffen it up?

As for the rear line a new one is going on cut to proper length!

Appreciate the input and comments! Keep them coming!

Welcome to the site.
Your bike looks mighty fine.

 

[angus67]

yes on the brace. U could also put a pivot like radius rod there.

Seen this guy on Kijiji. How much did you shell out for that bike if you don't mind me asking? Over 5 under 10?
