Hey xs'ers. Just a shout out and a couple pics of my present projects. An xs650 bobber and a cb750 chopper:

Please note..I just modded and mounted the gas tank on the xs650...IT STILL NEEDS PAINT...lol

 

[Staninator]

Looks great man! I plan on starting up my own project soon! I just need to save up some money.

 

[chopitdropit]

Thanks Staninator. Not many people comment on this forum?

Welcome, brother. Nice, nice scoots. That Ceebee is fine.

You'll find a lot of comments about tech, and attendance varies. It's not a huge community, but some of the most knowledgeable folks about the xs hang out here.

Chopit- Welcome. That is a cool frame on the CB. Is it a Savior frame. It looks like it might be stretched.
Cool bikes.

I like the Cb chop! Pretty sweet. I have a cafe cb750 thats pretty much done. Which is why I ended up with a truck full of mismatch XS! But MI winters can be pretty fuckin long & cold, so it should keep me busy.

Hey Georelle...your close. It's an All Souls Frame. I've only seen one other like it. The differences are that the back axle runs on tabs behind the springs instead of through them and so the springs aren't exposed. Also it is a goosenet frame so with that little wassa tank and no seat yet it looks pretty stretched... Talkin about a stretch..I stuffed a harley 5.5 with a 180/60-16 in the rear. Now I find myself having to build a jackshaft


Thanks all for the welcomes...looks like a cool forum. BTW...spotted somebody here that I know....Trex..

HAHA! Yeah I'm amassing a pretty good pile of mismatch myself...I'll weld it all together one day and maks a bike art planter for the missus.

Nice bikes. I didn't know Harvey-Danielson made a twin!

 

[XSLeo]

Twin are all H-D makes. V-twins.

 

[chopitdropit]

Teebs...Thanks for the welcome bro!

Guess I better hurry up and paint the tank to quell the controversy, eh kent?

..or I could just ad a C and make it a CHARLEY DAVIDSON

Oh...Harley did throw out some singles back in the day.

 

[XSLeo]

Yes, the first few years were singles. Any of the dirt bikes that wore the name weren't made by Harley. They were devloping an inline four for a few years but thought it looked to Japanese, so it got thrashed.

 

[gordonscott]

A big HELL YA! to the CB Just sold my "73"

 

[sgt sleazebag]

make it say hardly dangerous or harley davidsimilar

 

[chopitdropit]

Made some changes....cleaned up wiring, swapped out to a peanut tank, repainted rear fender, sissy bar, repainted frame after prepping bad spots/gussets w/ body filler. Carbs are off..waiting for parts. And have to change the color of my skull and bones on my seat and set it up at cleaner location. Anyway......

And the mighty Topper had an Italian heart (if it could be called that

Harley did actually produce their own 2stroke in the early 70's for their 400cc snowmobile!
