Hey guys and gals, visited this site before a few times and thought I would finally join. I am over at bobbertalk quit a bit and frequent 650motorcycles and xs650garage. All great forums, thought it would'nt hurt to join another great one. Anyway I built my first xs650 chopper last summer and still working on a few things (carbs and pipes). they sure are fun, I have had 5 of these bikes just over the past summer. fixed 2 of them and sold them, now I have my chopper, a 77 standard, and a frame with all the parts laying next to it. Can't wait till winter is gone and can start doing some serious riding. I'll try and attatch a few pics of the chopper. All my good pics are to high of quality to upload so I suppose I can always go thru photobucket or imageshack.

Welcome. Two questions, how wide is your rear tire(looks alittle wider than stock but can't tell from the pics), and where did you get the rear fender.
 
ya its a tad wider than stock, its a 200mm rear tire, and I am using a two ton ho rear fender I bought off ebay. My frame was built by Dave (tanksbytigman) He does superb work. I definetely recommend him.
 
Thanks guys for the comments, crash I had Dave make my fake oil bag. I ordered some
1 3/4 pipes from Hoosracing, they are at the chromer right now I am having the bottom of the pipe chromed and then i am going to paint the header part of the pipe.
 
A few pics, I still have to wrap the pipes, final tune carbs and Finish pinstriping, but getting closer!
