Just Braggin alittle.

So I went to the Orange County California Vintage MC gathering in Nov. Just thought I would ride over and see what they had there. Parked the XS in the over 30 yo area and was just talking to people awhile. After a couple of adult beverages I had to go to the restroom it ( it sucks not being able to hold it to long at this age) when I returned to the bike someone had placed a number 15 on the headlight. I asked what was that for and they said they had entered the bike in the bike of the month contest. I didn't know they had a contest but what the heck. So there must have been a lot of XS fans there that day because 3rd place, a Honda 750 4 banger got 6 votes, 2nd place, an old Norton got 6 votes, and the XS got 86 votes. I was very proud of what I had done and still am. I know I have to still show you pictures of the build but I still have to have someone all this for me. It's so much easier to build an engine than it is to use this computer. Hope you all like it.

How long did it take for that smile to go down? Great job!

 

[YamadudeXS650C]

Especially nice detailing on the engine and wheels.
Haven't seen Maxxis tires since my kart racing days.

 

[ThatXS650Guy]

Very nice. You are to be congratulated.
I really like silver on frames.

 

[59Tebo]

Also, I just noticed... nice job with the safety wire on the front wheel/brake. Much neater than the tabs (although more time consuming).
