After selling my original tracker project about a year ago, I had the opportunity to pick up a guys XS650 collection/projects. I got a total of 5 frames, 5 1/2 motors (one is a 750) along with lots of wheels and spare parts, two full sized pick up trucks full worth of parts and bikes. Enough bits to build 2-3 bikes. Also one frames is a champion that he started to build.
After a lot of thought, I am starting with a stock framed build with a 650 motor, for now it will have street tires but those will be changed to proper dirt track tires, and a radian swing arm. Debating on the pipe but may bite the bullet and get a Jemco high pipe. Plan is to get it all fabricated up, get it plated the strip it to the frame and get it painted and such.
Here is where I am at.
