Inevitable
XS650 Addict
Hey!
In advance I would like to thank anyone who helps me out.
Currently I have a 1981 Yamaha XS650 (should be the first image), and I would like to turn it into a cross between the other two bikes.
My plan is to get a tune up and make sure everything mechanically is in working order, and ride the bike as is until winter. During this time I will be purchasing all the extra parts needed for this (I.E wheels, bars, seat, etc)
Ideally I would like to limit my welding as much as possible, as I do not have access to a welder, and will have to get it done through a shop.
So...what do I want?
I like to keep the padded seat from the second bike, as well as find a nice way to keep the brake and blinker lights on. but I like the bulk rough look of the third bike.
So...what do I need help with.
I have spent most my life taking things apart figuring out how they work and making them better or "cooler" looking...My question is does anyone know where I can find similar aftermarket parts for this bike like the ones in the attached photos, and does anyone have any advice on where to start.
I know this is probably vague description, but I really would love any help you could provide.
Like I said
Thanks in advance!
