XS Restomod rolling chassis

[Repo Man]

Been kicking around an idea for a while, so what do you think?

I’ve been involved with several XS builds with upgraded rolling stock, modern forks, wheels, big brakes with 4 piston calipers, beefy swing arms, dual and single shock chassis.

I work as a machinist and have a good racer friend that’s a dirt track racer welder/fab guy and between us we can make most anything fit...
Many people don’t have the availability of such equipment- that’s where we come in.

So my thoughts are:
Build upgraded rolling chassis that the end buyer plugs his motor, electrical system and body work into.
Bike could be finished as:
Street tracker
Cafe
Motard
Depending on buyer’s wants and personal taste.

Customer could even furnish a frame to upgrade.

The Summerbud XS bikes from England are beautiful, and not cheap - my idea is similar but because there’s some assembly required (LOL!) and the end buyer finishes to their desire cost would be waaay less.

I floated this idea over on some XS Facebook pages and got some pretty positive response, what do you folks think??

Here’s some pics of our handy work...

Just my but never mix square and round tubing on any build. (except swingarms).

The single shock is all round, on the twin shock the only round that’s left is the main backbone and engine cradle.

What swing arm is that and how does it fit?
