My heritage special build

[Clerek]

Chopped up xs650's add looks to an otherwise broke down, beatup, 30 year old bike...I will never get an xs that I won't chop up! Deal with it haters, these bikes are broke. Chopping is cheaper than restoring, and looks better!

 

[Clerek]

Oh and the bike looks tits! Good work so far...

Looks great man. Keep it up!

 

[david bird]

bike looks great. i like the way you did the brake pivot.

Well, you know, I'll be glad when the chopper craze for hacking up an XS650 will come to an end. It seems so ten years ago. But if it's what you want, good luck with it. Looks like it's coming along nicely.

Try so 40 years ago! Seems like you have a little bit of a wait to go till you see the end

Hey Joe, That bike is comming along fantastic I can't belive this is your first effort, it's too nice!

 

[pa23driver]

i do like the tank and fender, looking forward to seeing it finished.

I really like the way you did your brake pivot. I've been trying to figure out how I'm going to do mine on my looped tail.

This bike would not be possible without the help of a few good friends. I bought this with the intention of learning basic metal fabrication and it's turning out way cooler then I originally imagined. I'm glad you like it.

Started messing with the Controls, exhaust and we mounted the rectifier.

These are some type of harley passenger pegs.

Rectifier

Exhaust

Im hoping that exhaust will corkscrew around each other and then run up in between the frame and rear tire.

I agree, that's why I'm hanging on to my old stock frames. They should be worth a mint then.

I like the exhaust run right acrossed the cover for the rotor, ought to warm it up quite nicely since they (the rotors) like heat so much, nothing like keeping as much heat in a engine as you can

 

[retiredgentleman]

You do some nice mechanical work, but just wondering about the oil dipstick. Will you be able to use the dip stick, or be able to add oil??

 

[section8joe]

The exhaust needs a ton of work yet but I will be able to get to the dipstick to add and check oil.
