That's okay, I've got several intact rear sections I can sell when people realize their mistakes.

If it makes everyone feel better, I kept all the stock parts for Gary, so he can continue restoring 650s
It makes ME feel better anyways! Good to see you on here Jerry, even if I got the first picture of your "runner" posted, grin.

Just the way I like 'em hobbes28: clean, simple, original.
Someday when I hit the Megabucks, I'm going to have to find a nice set of spoke rims for my Special.

bbillington, that one reminds me of my dad's old triumph chopper he had when I was a kid. His had 18" over forks. It was pretty sweet. I wish I still had a picture of it.

Looks like the trump chopper in the walking dead, I love it!
Survival chops are the shit!

Those Amen Savior frames were all the rage for a while.
bbillington is that your bike? Um where do you put that chunk of 2x4 when you are riding? Seriously I might be afraid to really clamp on those dual front disks. I'd be worried that thin neck support would fold up like a cheap tent.

I strap the wood on my hip next to my sawed off double barrel shotgun.
It is indeed my bike though I did just get it. When I finish my a65 hard tail I'll tear this one down for cleanup, paint, polish etc. for now I will just ride it. It runs amazingly and pulls stronger than any of my other XS's from the past. I just wish I had specs from the rebuild as I really doubt it's stock displacement.
Only time it has made me nervous was catching air at 60 or so on a shitty section of DC "road" last night. Pucker factor was high.

A friendly caution; consider your engine oil level when the engine is tilted back like that. the dip stick is at the very rear of the engine. The XS depends at least in part on splash lube. I once owned a Honda 750 rigid chopper with 12" over forks, I got it nearly for free because oil starvation had destroyed the shell crank bearings.
