Since i get my xs650 http://www.xs650.com/forum/showthread.php?p=391385#post391385 I was thinking what i will do with my new babe but first i had some problems to sold , fuel or ignition probs , charging probs a.t.c soooo let the party begging !!!!
First disassembly the carbs, bufff what a mess beside the holes on the carb diaphragms the dirt and the totally fucktup jets, i had one broken float leg
after a lot off cleaning cleaning situation .... i had to decide what to do , tig welding or not?
after a few minutes a decide to take a small risk and use cold weld first (it's a two compound clue for metals a.t.c used before and worked perfect) let see what will happen ...
Off course i will do a full rebuild off them new everything!! The only way to feel safe after what i saw
After that vacuum petcocks time! Ok i thing I know that you have hear the same think again but for sure i 'am the man who take the virginity both off them
sooo i rebuild them fully and a make this
In to this
Very important the right bag to avoid wife curiosity problems
For the electric probs that i had, (charging, burning fuse , a.t.c) i must build a new main wiring harness and a new fuse box , an old battery liquid leak has destroyed the half fuse box and some wires was totally
And now the fun part , starting the design , I don't want to cut the frame it's to dammmm difficult to find another here so I'm not discuss about it , let's build a cafe racer ! Some polyurethane foam for base to build a new carbon tail, an xs1 tank and an old zundap 1968 nickel headlamp that my grandfather had it in a box new ! Let's put it all together for a pick ......
hmmm the handlebars is not exactly what i want ...... ok some fast welding work.. And voilà a diverse handlebar and a headlamp base to....
I now i put the fork the wrong way and off course the welding is not the final put like idea do you like it??

The headlight was my litle prety babe all those years and now it's time to put it on the right bike!
but i think the base on the handlbars is not so nice idea , that's why i was asking opinions , maybe the standar base on the billet triple is better idea to customize a base for the headlight ....
