XS650 build off and wrap up party?

Well here is what I'm starting with. The only good thing about this bike is that the engine turns over and the spark plugs spark. Frame rails under the seat are almost rusted thru. It's a '72 model and I wouldn't cut it up except for the rusted frame rails. I'm doing a brat bike out of it.

i have a soft spot for the early xs's. i think the frames and front motor mounts look better then the later years but i'm the guy that will cut up anything cuz i just dont dig stock. my xs2 is in need of a face lift and some new shoe's i may get around to it after this build off

Chompin at the bit, here....even tho I am broke, and need quite a few parts... but I will be there! If I gotta throw a pile of parts in the back of a truck and drive to the party...
 
Hey guys is it to late to sign up for this? Haven't been following cuz i didn't think Id have space to build in, this winter, however that has changed and will now be completing my current build and starting a new one.....it looks like I may still have a chance if this all starts on november first...if its a hassle and i'm too late, i'm just going to pretend like I am in the comp anyway, and show up to the show with a build so awesome that when you see it you will feel the overwhelming need to vote for it anyway :D

haha Just Playin


I know the list is out already.....but if there's a way to make an exception I would be very happy to hear it!

I would like to enter into the video comp, however It is very possible that I may end up making the trip....in that scenario can you cross over?
