im guessing most of you have built bikes before? Am I the only one new to building let alone xs650s? haha.. maybe I should bow out now haha

Actually, I've ridden bikes for years, but this will be the first time I've ever wrenched on one, much less did any fab work on one. Same for my brother who's doing the build with me. We're just looking forward to hangin with this awesome crowd.

hell that aint bad start right there.... is that a super trap exhaust can? 2-1 if thats in good shape that could look cool (dependign on your direction, and i've never built a ground up before either, i've tinkered and done some minor fab/alteration to a couple harleys but no xs's so i think there is a pretty good cross section of experience on this build, i sure as hell would not want to see you bow out that's for sure
 
the exhaust is pretty much shot...rusted everywhere...going to just go drags I think. Yah ive done some work on my Harley, this is new territory...hell I have to get the guy to get me a title still! Just hope this isn't during the weekend of hood bush, that's like xmas up here!
 
Hey Fella's,

I have a crud load of stock 80' XS special parts if any of you guys need them for the build you can have them fo free...let me know
 
Fired mine up yesterday. It's an '80... smokes from the left pipe. Can't wait to tear into it, as it's ugly and beat up already...
