Let's See The XS's

Thanks, Gary, excellent point.

I may toy with another front end setup I have with a 21" wheel to get the stance to my liking.

I strap the wood on my hip next to my sawed off double barrel shotgun.

Very good answer sir! I appreciate your reply, thank you and enjoy your day (backs slowly away)

Mine, been working on it for 8 months now. Still not done, but she's ridable.

Still needs a rear fender and turn signals.

Looks wicked eddie, love the gold foot pegs and gold accent on the right side cover.


Heres an updated version of mine..

What did you do for throttle and cable? It looks like the $20 special from TC and the likes, but what cable are you running?

The cable is from mikesxs

I think I got the same one, looks like the others but the inside is plastic--- gah, it works at least

^^did you make that seat, Eddie? Pretty nice look to it if you did.

I think its got a nice look regardless if he did it or not

 

[Eddie209]

Thanks guys, I did make the seat myself. Its not perfect but considering it was my first time doing any leather work I'm happy with it

agreed just complementing his handiwork. DIY rules.

Just about got all the parts to put a flat tracker together,
Champion tank and seat, 750 kit, ported head, race cam of unknown origin, performance springs, and VM34mm carbs, just needs a lot of messing around to get every thing to fit properly

Here is my girl as of current!

I don't generally care for Bobbers, but this one is pretty cool.

Here's the bike I am just finishing up for a young vet who was injured in Afghan. Everything from back of the motor to the end of the tail was fabbed by myself.

 

[AceofSpades]

ok, here's my newest ride... the XS, not the blonde.... 81 Heritage Special just turned 20,000 miles. Paid $375 (without bags)

Nice! and best wishes to the young vet. Hope he (or she) will be ok and ride safe.

Love that bike man. Id like an extended front end like that. It reminds of the 70 choppers. Tryin to figure out how to post my bike on here now.

So I hope I did this right. Here is my xs650. Just picked it up about 2 weeks ago. Got the motor(71 xs1f I think), chopped up frame(started as a 71 xs1 frame, I think), and of course a tub full of parts. I got a manual already and torn apart the motor a little. It looks like it has been rebuilt already. It came with a PAMCO ignition already installed and I'm looking to replace the charging system with either a Hughs or XSCharge, leaning towards Hughs though. Let me know what you think. I've already learned alot just by browsing through this site and any comments or suggestions are welcome!

You will want to go with Hugh, a good guy and a very helpful member.
