You'll need a tetanus shot before you ride this.

I've had this bike for a long time. Now it's finally getting a new look. My goal was low, mean, and rusty.

i like your seat springs. must be super stiff though. and the (?)model a pedal rubbers are nice too!

 

[ember]

Nice bike. Did you fab the hard tail or purchase it?

 

[gordonscott]

I like it! she looks mean

 

[inxs]

- agreed
- like the use of the XS1 drum brake and the XS2 low sitting non-sportster tank

I like it. Those Studebaker brake pedals work, I have one on my V-Star.

 

[ayrhen]

+1 on the tank. Nice!

Aggressive stance. GREAT look. What OD on the pipes?

Saw you have a Michigan plate, what town are you in. There are a growing number of MI XS guys (and one girl) around. Oh yeah, I'm in Lake Orion.

Thanks I appreciate the compliments, good to know that someone likes the work put in. A friend of mine has in the past built hotrods for a living, and the two of us fabricated the hardtail ourselves. The pedals are original off of a '33 Ford and the same goes for the tail light bucket (Has new innards and face plate). The front end is off a pre-69 Triumph 650 which has been a pain in the ass from the start, but it's almost their. I used a 1-7/8" combo exhaust pipe from speedway motors for the pipes. I plan on welding a couple washers in to quiet it down for licensing and inspection.
