Ohh..yeah forgot to mention..its alot of fun to ride..and its loud ...loud.. loud ..and low to the ground..runs like a beast..just wired in my l.e.d.turn signals..relay..and a small turn signal switch...
 
Well i picked up another xs650 bobber...with a coffen gas tank..that will probably be sold....
 
Hi ram,
ooh!
Nice lookin' bike.
Got that engine case shinin' like an outhouse door on a frosty mornin'.
I'd suggest some kinda forkbrace to lessen the wibbly-wobblies you get when you remove the front fender.
And something to add a little backpressure to the exhaust.
Loud is good but open drains is a bitch to tune.

Just picked it up....uploadfromtaptalk1442255925964.jpguploadfromtaptalk1442255959375.jpg
 
Thanks ..it took a couple of winters now almost done ...working on polishing it all up now..i was thinking maybe getting it painted up..or just leave the flat black look..i dont knw..
 
Gloss black tins n fenders with bright aluminum and chrome is pretty tough to beat! No matter tho, it sure looks like you have the ability and knowledge to finish that thing out! I'm still hammerin' away at mine, for SOME reason finances keep blocking my dream! So, it's slow goin' and I end up building most of my odds n ends versus buying them. I went with a 6in stretch 3 in drop Factory Metal Works hardtail, then raked the frame neck out to 35 Degree's so I'm about 8 inches over stock length. Love em lower and leaner! Good LUCK!
 
Nice ..yeah the paughco frame is at the highest point from the ground to the frame just above 3 3/4 inches ..i have to take big curbs on a angle..

I had seen mike's xs has a chrome fender brace ..for 69.00..hugh's hand built has one for 125.00 plus shipping. That seems to high for a forkbrace...
