Xs650 from Sweden, my first build.

[1800skold]

Hi

I bought my first motorcycle a year ago, an original xs650 -81.
Unnecessary parts of the frame has been removed.
Gsxr 750 front end and new handle bar has been installed.
3x19" and 3,5x19" rims with Mitas flat track tires.
SRX600 swing arm.
Engine has been rephased, megacycle 250-30 cam, 707cc wiseco pistons, Kawasaki EX500 carbs.
M-unit motogadget.
ISR clutch and front break handles.

Hope you like it

Looks good!
What rear hub are you using? And what handlebar clamps, LSL maybe?
What is your weight target, with oil, fuel etc?
I am sort of heading in the same direction, but with the stock XS fork and a Talon MX rear hub, in stead of the stock drum brake hub. I surely regret getting a 18" rim on the Talon hub wheel though....

Thanks ArcticXS!
Both rear and front hub are HD, I think they came from a sportster.
Handlebar clamps and handle bar comes from Biltema
I have no weight target yet..

Biltema huh? So that is a "fatbar" with 28 mm centre portion?
What width is your rear Mitas tyre? Any issues with chain clearance?

 

[1800skold]

Yes, www.biltema.se
Yes, 28,6mm at the center.
The rear wheel is 140/80 -19, no problem with clearance for chain but will not fit standard swingarm.
