What should i do with this bike?

[schioler]

hey guys..
My new bike just arrived from Germany..
This is going to be a winter project - so i got
plenty of time planning and ordering the needed parts..

I like to hear your opinions on what i shold do with it..

I was thinking a bobber looking bike.
Another fuel tank (have no idea which ones)
It has to be a softtail (according to law here in Denmark) so i will
buy som shorter rear shocks and cut the frameloop on the rear of the bike.
I would like to keep the forward controls and the front fork.
Also a set of Gordonscott drag pipes would be GREAT!!
Solo seat

Colors : Satin Black..

besides that i have no idea what would look good...

Welcome to the site! She looks tidy.

Its all a matter of taste.... Some people like stock, others perfer choppers, others cafe racers. Id take your time first, work out a solid feel and plan.

If it were me (which its not), i would lower the front and change the bars. She looks high. Change the exhaust & ditch the 2 part seat. That tank is a sportster tank - Def workable. Loose the huge stock front fender and something looks weird up around the neck gusset.

But at then end of the day do what you want and like, otherwise the world would be boring right?

Search "brat style xs650" on google. You'll get tons of ideas.

i know about the bratstyle bikes.. they are awesome ..

i will get rid of the front fender and i will get a solo seat,
custom made... the front fork is high - dunno if i am going to
lower it - i am a tall guy ..

i had the first ride on a xs650 when it arrived - damn its great..
use to have those old yamaha thumbers xt500 - fun to ride,
but lacks the power..
