Couple updates to my XS...

Couple updates from the past week:


Remounted the fender and made these new struts.



Made these pipes...they're just mocked up here, but are now fully welded and near complete. Trying to figure out if I wanna leave em raw or paint em black.

Bike looks fuckin bad man. Good job.

Can I pay you to come over and have you make my bike a wet dream machine like that???

Lol yes...I accept miller lite and/or PBR as payment.

I believe a keg of miller strapped to my back should do thE trick. But I'd for real throw down some sort of payment to have you help me with a few things I don't know how to do

I'm always down to help man hit me up and we'll get a something figured out. I'm about to wire MILunchbox's Hondo 750 up for him that should be done asap then after that I'm down to help with whatever!

Right on, I'll keep that in mind for sure. I have somE ideas but idk they could be a little far fetched and crazy

Sounds like a challenge.....I'm in!

Also my bike will be in the Hammer in Hand show this coming weekend (May 12th), you should swing out If you're free.

Leave the pipes raw..

I see you're running a tensioner, but your not worried about chain deflection into your exhaust pipe or is it just the pic? Looks cool though...

if i can get out of work early enough i'll be there forsure, ok not to hijack your thread here but i need an experts opinion... what would it take (money/experience wise) to get the red bike to look kind of like the red/silver? I fell in love with that thing when i seen it, only exception is i'd like to run the 2 pipes to 1 side.

its just the pic...finally assembly has the pipe centered between the chain...the tensioner keeps the chain tight enough it shouldn't come near the exhaust.

and Holigan I think I agree with you raw is the way to go...they should look great once the start to dull up like the rest of the bike.

you thread pirate! kidding....looks like you are almost there lol that would be an easy conversion to pull off....price really depends on how "pretty" you want to make it. I'm building a "Brat" (like the sausage) style Xs650 for a buddy right now....looks similar to the bike style your going after...he doesn't have much wrapped up in the build at all.

I'd pay and possibly give you my first born for some of your time and expertise for sure then if it should be fairly easy
