Here's my 1975

Just a little about my build. (im leaving out a lot of small mods and tweaks I did to the motor)

277 rephase
700cc
8 pack clutch
ported and polished head

You got a picture if the left side? I'm liking that 2 into 1. Any info on it?

Nice bike good find.

 

[pat_in_the_hat]

so i put my 650 in a local car show a month ago and a guy came up to me and said he is filming a commercial for north dakota motorcycle safety. He said that he wanted me and my bike in the commercial.
So I decided, why not! plus I got paid $100.
and it turned out really pretty cool

Heres the main commercial

Interesting that anyone would shoot a safety video using a bike with no front brake.

 

[pat_in_the_hat]

yea i agree. and without turn signals, spedo and any mirrors.
But he wanted a bike of every category, bagger, crotch rocket, smaller harley, and a custom bike (mine)

Nice job Pat - on a side note I was riding with a group of Harley guys the other day and when we stopped at a filling station/Denny's, five girls came out to take pictures of themselves on my custom xs and completely ignored the Harley's. Aw oogy boogy ,how pissed off the Harley guys where.

 

[weekendrider]

[gentlemanjim]

Very nice indeed. What is the fuel tank you used? Looks a bit Moto-Guzzi.

 

[xs60]

@ gentlemanjim...... the tank is a modified xs500 tank .... with some detailed solutions (mounting, coils, petcocks,.... )

 

[Maple]

that is some nasty green! And by nasty, I mean I really like it and want it

 

[Mudgnome]

Wow!,that is one sweet looking bike.....love the color

 

[Paulrxs650]

Here's my XS:

'81 XS650
I bought my first bike, a XS, back in February for $900. It was in good condition, really clean and had a little less than 8k miles, but wouldn't turn over. I figured it was either fuel or spark. Using the forums I figured it out: a poorly soldered TCI box and broken coil. I had the TCI re-soldered and bought a new coil and she fired right up. I have been riding in my spare time to build up my confidence. It's been a lot of fun.

My future plans: lower front forks and new rear shocks (lower).

My 79 "rat".
First bike ever.
Older pic, bike still in progress. Chain broke after a couple test rides and cracked the left side cover and tore off the fender so now I have to rebuild my fender. Haha

My poor fender after the chain snapped. I dont know how nothing hit me or how I didn't crash.
