Picked up three xs’ from the chopcult classifieds a couple weeks ago. This is my first chopper build so here goes. The best of the three, and the one with a title was a ‘79 xs in original frame. Didn’t hear it run but engine turns and has decent compression. So far I’ve stripped the bike and cut off the rear half for the MK21 hardtail from voodoo vintage. Just made rough cuts to be cleaned up later once the tail comes in the mail.
Over all I’m going with a 6 over front end with the stock rake, 21” rim and unsure about front brake. 18” Yamaha rim and drum brake in the back from one of the other bikes. Got a j&p mustang tank with the deal and I like it for this bike. Not too sure about bars but was leaning toward some z bars on maybe 6” risers.
Has anyone ever used the air ride solo seat from TC bro’s? Thought it looked like something different that in theory might be a good option rather than ridgid seat/springer.
‘79 engine came with an older Boyer bransden electronic ignition, so I hope that works out and can be run.
Pumped to get this hard tail welded on and plan out where I want the bike to go
