XS650 Hardtail Kit (Universal kit)

[staf0s]

Bumping this thread because in 2021 it seems like almost no one is making stuff for these bikes anymore. Or at least I haven’t been able to find anything.

Can someone help me with finding a 0” stretch hardtail? Only place I can find them is in Australia and they won’t ship to the states

I still sell the universal hardtail kits from this thread. You can make any stretch you want. I assume you're looking for pre-welded though, and that we don't do.

My problem is that I don’t have the center downtube anymore. There is a 76 frame on eBay right now I’m thinking about grabbing to use as a donor. If I go that route I’ll for sure grab the DIY kit

I could probably bend and sell you the tubing you need. If you're interested, email me at sales@chopsource.com with a picture of what you're working with.

No amount or lack of stretch will make a frame without a down tube a rideable bike. You will still need a complete frame loop even with 0" stretch.

I've updated the first post slightly. To the top!
