chopper

These are the drag pipes I got from Scott (GordonScott). He was really careful to position them just right for what I needed - to clear my rear brake pivot. So thanks again to Scott for a job well done. Anyway, this isn't painted yet...still in prolonged mock-up stage. The pipes, however...

I am working on building a cafe xs and a tracker GR, and the problem is, no one has any ideas. There is 10 guys in my hood who want to build choppers and bobbers and a few who already have. They hack 1/2 the bike off and toss the rest. I would rather do minimal work, light shaving of brackets...

Well months of trying to get this build done i finally got a chance to see if it would start. I know my signal is on and i know the choke needs adjusting but shit it friggin started and ran .

So i bought my headlight and taillight and they both only have two wires, headlight has red and yellow, n tailight has green n black? Also i bought a tc bros ignition key switch and was wondering which wire goes were on the back of it thanks guys

So the last couple of weeks i've been wiring up the bike and with a lot of help from here and others i've almost completed this build . 1973 TX650 with a 75 motor and 6"over front end. next week i'll fire it up. I need a few parts to finish and my goal was to completely build a bike from...

Got my single carb intake setup installed / running this week using a HD CV carb with 42 / 180 jetting. Pretty much good to go which really surprised me.

trying to find a set of jackhammer grips that wont fall apart. Ones exactly like the hippy killer flake style. Except i want them in plain black or white. I have had some shit made in china ones before and they just wont do. anyone got any leads? 7/8"s of course:wink2:

Hey guys, I'm new here to the forum and XS650 world, not to mention bikes in general. I've just recently bought a '78 XS650 and am starting to get it road worthy and begin chopping it. Not to bore you with the details but so far I have removed the motor and carbs, cleaned and re-installed, put...

after 3 months building i have torn the bike down for finish here is a link to a big folder of pics https://picasaweb.google.com/workingclasschoppers/Tamaqua02?authkey=Gv1sRgCPuHlqj_pdSyxwE# thinking of a silver paint with blue sparkle seats, grips and blue engine wide whitewalls...

hey any ideas of electrical switch controls on the bars i will only be running headlight, and horn with maybe engine kill and engine start. i found some but they have more bottons then i will use or does everyone just mount switchs on the oil tank. thanks

Here's a pic of my almost finished project. Just gotta complete the wiring, get an emissions test and register it.

I have been looking for over a month now and I can't seem to find this stinking tire anywhere?! If you have a line on one lemme know! I can't find em anywhere! 21" Hi Max C906

anyone know where you can get 1.5" or 1.75" exhaust tips. My pipes are painted black and want to add about a 6" chrome exhaust tip just to break up all the black.

so i found my front motor mounts today just when my new ones showed up.thought i would put them to use and create some highway pegs, yes i know not everyone thinks there safe. but the are plenty high enough and the foot rest will be pivot. here is my electric box as well it will house my...

Got my solo seat and hardware. Love it! it's gonna look great. However, I was wondering about the way the springs attach. The seat pan has studs that come off it - 2 for the front hinge and 2 for the rear springs. Can it be, that at the top on these studs, the springs are only held tight to...

I have an XS650 chopper with a hard tail frame. The tail light is mounted on the rear fender and the lens keeps falling off. Even my license plate is literally ripping in two. I've tried securing the lens bolts and screws with locktite, and I added an extra layer of rubber underneath the...

A little update on my build. Hoping to have her done soon. She's coming along even better than I thought she would. Let me know what you think.
