XS650 Enthusiast
Hello, first post on the forum and I'd like to start by saying thanks to everyone for making this site what it is as I have learnt so much already!!! My name's Craig, I'm 23 and from the UK and a couple of months ago I purchased a 78 650 special from a good friend.
I am currently building it up as a bit of a brat tracker project (I think) and would like some feedback as to what peoples opinions on my project are so far along with some suggestions for improvements???
So far I have an original frame and engine and intend on fitting - '99 R6 front forks and yokes, xjr1300 rear shocks, original tank, husaberg supermoto wheels, harley sporster narrow glide headlight and an R6 top yoke conversion with fat bar risers and Aprilia SXV OE fat bars. I want a brat style rear seat with either a custom rear fender or the original one re jigged. I want a subtle(ish) mix of old and new and want the paint job to reflect this...... Opinions????
