I've been debating whether to do a build thread, so here it goes... hopefully this will help keep me motivated to see this through...
I had been looking for about a year for a reasonably priced, and reasonably decent starting point for a hard tailed XS650 bobber... A lot of the bikes that came up were overpriced and/or too nice to modify...
A few months ago a relatively cheap 78 XS650SE basket case came up... the previous owner had given up on the project but had gone through the effort of chopping up the frame and adding a TC Bros hard tail...
So here's what it looked like on day one... the bike was reasonably complete, with the PO having kept most of the stock XS parts...
The left over stock XS parts...
