Just met an Interesting Guy tonight

Ken Fontenot of Cycle Sports of Houston came by tonight.
Seems they took Best of Show last fall with their XS650 Street Tracker.

That is a great example of an XS... Did you find out anything about it? I can't seem to find any details on the website.

Tailpiece was interesting. Exhaust, paint and rear brake custom.
I'm going by his shop next week and get a close up view of it and some info.
We got side tracked talking about his road racing back in the days of the RD's and such.

Great story and pictures.

Good story, but some real pics of the bike would be nice to go with it.

Ken came back by tonight. He spent the day yesterday out on a training track for road racers. He took lots of pics I'm hoping to get a glimpse of soon. With a few big names from the past. Some which actually took his build for a few laps(15+) on the track. He said the bike performed great.

Here is a link to what was in the bike build:
