More detail on the swing arm please. I like the overall look of your bike. Very different.

Awesome bike. Took me a minute to notice the shock and swingarm, nice work on the rigid look without the lack of suspension.

Ooh, that's pretty.
Floral tank paint, hidden controls, backward grips, rear end so complicated that I can't quite see how it works, what's not to love?

I dig it, nice work.

A 4-link monoshock? On an XS650??? Gotta be a first for that!

I would like to know more about the wing arm also, excellent def different.

Very nice. lots of cool details. I especially like the exhaust system, where did you get that from?

 

[ZwijntjUHH]

Thanks

Suspension
All rose joints and a suzuki GSXR 1000 shocker (needs a softer spring)
Total travel about 4,5cm

Exhaust
Home made one off full Titanium, colors will come in time

Rose joint? What North America calls a Heim Joint?
You could soften that spring by mounting it on a mandrel in a cylindrical grinding machine to grind the spring's circular cross section into a D-shape?

Dude I was just gonna ask about those pipes. I figured they were custom done. So sick looking! I have to ask man, how do those tires do on the road? I would think scary. I have always liked the look of a meaty front tire but figured it would wear out stupid fast and not have too good of traction on asphalt. Nice work!

 

[ZwijntjUHH]

Tires pic will say enough. 200 km highway @120-130km/h

I have often admired what Europeans do with motorcycles. I think it's because they are closer to the Renaissance. If Leonardo da Vinci were here today, he would be riding a motorcycle, but not until he made it HIS motorcycle.

rear suspension acts like a girder front... very novel. love the way you linked the bottom front pivots inboard of the frame rail, kinda gives a hardtail look by hiding the link away too...

...and how that cross member goes right through the bung in the botton of the backbone, it's a nice way to tie them in, rock solid. lots to like here.
