So I picked up a XS650 Special on a trade. It had been sitting in a shed for 15+ years. Plus I always liked the look of cafe/brat bikes. Here she is In the first week I had it. I have never done anything like this before.
So I am lucky enough to have a roommate who went to school for custom paint and body to show me how clean up all the rust prime and repaint the frame. Now the polishing of the motor and wheels that was just a real pain....not to mention putting that motor back in by myself
Making the seat pain and starting on the seat. Bending wood is a B and a total pain in the A
New tail light on and new turn signals on the way
Got the seat done today and got it mounted and started cleaning the carbs.
So this has been my build so far. I'm going to need some help with no battery/kickstart only. Wiring I've seen diagrams but I always still see a battery in the pic. Working on a budget is hard. Either way tell me whatcha all think....
