XS650 Addict
Whats up, my name is Jim. I just picked up three XS650's, a 78, 79, and a mint running 81with 12k miles, a couple extra motors and sets of wheels. I have build a couple dragbikes, a killer chopper with an SS124, and now it looks like a couple XS650's. I make custom seats to support my habits, its worked out good over the years. Ive done a discovery channel build off, a buncha rag covers, and more features that I even remember. I have to say that Im hooked on these XS650's, they got me. SO.....my plan is purchase hardtails and build the frames forward, Im thinking maybe some forward stretch, an inch maybe, and 34ish degrees of rake, one with the stock mags, one with spokes, probably a 21" front. My style is kinda dirty, patina, hand done finishes, copper, brass, a little hand engraving. I just got two in my shop this week, hopefully have these two all broken down this weekend. So far I love this place!!!
