XS650 Enthusiast
I know there isn't a lot of love here for bobbers, especially a fat rear tire bobber, but how boring would life be we all liked the same things. My first bike ever was an '81 XS650 Special-II. At least I'm not chopping up an otherwise good bike. Frame was custom ordered from Cycle One Mfg in OK.
Drop seat and 4" stretch and I think 30* rake, pics from their shop
Couple of mock ups now that it is home. Going to run a 200mm rear
And the donor bike (bought it Wed) of which all I'll be using is the motor. (Everything else will be up for grabs and yes, I do have the title.) I had planned to put it on the platform today (just bought it Fri at HF) and pull the motor but I have to take the front tire clamp to work Monday and "improve it's design" before I'm comfortable putting the bike on it. Donor runs quite well but neutral is a bitch to find once you put it gear. Bike kicks easier than electric starts. Will be getting a 2 under springer front, TC Bros air ride seat bracket and a ton of goodies from Revival Cycles. Build will be slow going since I'm paying as I go vs throwing down a CC, I rather enjoy my 100% debt free status.
