SevenSix Fabrication: xs650 build. 5 week dealine!!

[Eddie209]

This build started Nov 1st, I've had this thread going on chopcult as well

Here we go again guys, xs650 commissioned build. I agreed to have it done mid December, There is a cool story about who its for and who's paying for the build which i will tell you guys once the owner has it.

check us out on instagram for daily updates: SevenSixFabrication

Heres where I've gotten in the first two weeks:

The plan

Chopped

3/8" axle plates cut on my torchmate, Check out IG for the video of these being cut.

first side mock up

Solid 1" slugs at each joint. Root and cover pass.

And we had a roller in 2 days flat!

The hardtail was designed as a weld-on kit available to everyone

Spent a day cleaning and grinding the factory welds to cover them up with some pretty weaves

fit like a glove

And here we are today.

UPDATE:

Been a busy two weeks doing a little things, and one major change. The customer asked if it could be a two seater. Now I hate the way hardtails loook with a 2-up seat. So I was faced with the challenge of making a good looking 2 seater. I decided to go for a modular design, so the most of the time it will be a solo seat but when the lady wants to go for a ride a 2nd seat can be slipped on and attached using no tools. (all the pictures below are of just the solo seat)

Not the tank ill be using still waiting on the actual one to be delivered.

chain tensioners, spacers, caliper mounts etc...

Pewww pewww

Supervisor Lucy

Curved mid Moto pegs to flow with the frame lines.

Now this is where it gets interesting....

The second seat "sockets" into the backbone of the front seat.

And where she sits today, Its like Bobber+cafe with a hint of dirt bike. Should be a real fun shredder.

Yup, Ive been using it daily for 2 years now with no complaints. The stock wheel chuck is useless, but i just made the one you see in the pics.

Dig the pegs man, way cool.

Thanks, I should have them up for sale on the website soon.
