Hello, I havent been an active member here just a longtime lurker. I have a couple of XS650s that I started building about 5 or 6 years ago, one is hardtailed and the other is a street tracker. The rigid bike was just a rubbermaid tub full of "XS650 Parts" that I bought on Craigslist for $250. I got it home and found that it contained a complete bike in unbelievably great condition as well as every nut, bolt, washer and extra parts! I was running a small job shop at the time and tried to design, build, machine and make everything that I could. About 3 years ago we got pregnant with my daughter and life changed quite a bit. My bikes were all but forgotten about and got shoved into the corner to collect dust. Starting a family can be a little time consuming! Life has now slowed down a little and Im finally able to make a little time for my projects again. My goal is to redesign/reengineer a few things on the rigid bike and have it tuned and running good before spring. It should be a very achievable goal as it had brand new carbs and was running when parked (just needed tuned). The street tracker is a little further from completion, its pretty much just a roller with a fresh motor. Im excited to be working on my bikes again and looking forward to sharing progress with yall and being an active member this time around!
