This is my '79 xs 650 the way I bought it. The engine and all other parts are in crates.
Hi Fredintoon, i really like the look of Pandemoniums Hanky Panky bike so im going for a look like that. I have a peanut frisco mount tank so it will sit high, i got my smooth line seat, and next is a rear fender, then engine work. All I want to do is a PMA swap and new ignition but I have no idea what ignition to go with. Any help or advice is appreciated.
Just a heads up. There is alot of good knowledgeable people here. But you wont get alot of love on your bike after you hardtailed that bike. Just my observations and .02. but Keep up the work looks like a fun build.
Yeah... I'd have to disagree with that. You'll get some ribbing... most of it good natured. But a well made bike will get admiration, whichever fork in the road you take.Just a heads up.

Hey raneske, welcome. I personally like the look of the oversized tanks on hardtails, but that’s just me. Especially with minimal rake and a non-oversized tire. Again, just my 2 pennies. Looking forward to see how this thing comes togetherYea after i put the tank on the backbone it looked big for it but I think for now im gonna go with it and then after this season get a narrow tank.
My front sits high but i think thats mainly because of the front tire it looks like a vintage type Firestone. Its brand new and came with it on the bike, same with the rear so right now im more concerned with getting all my other gear for it. I got an order from low brow yesterday with my seat mounts and springs but the springs dont fit on the mounts. The only way they will fit is if i open the ends of the springs and i didnt want to do that. Ill post pics of it later. I could definately use some help with an ignition system. I want to keep the stock charging system for now if possible and upgrade the ignition.
