XS650 Bobber Update - It Lives... 4 Months, 2 Weeks ago
|
|
So, not that I was worried or anything...  But, the Bobber has been torn apart for over a year and a half. So, I was pretty surprised that it fired up on the second or third kick. Starts off the remote control starter after it's been warmed up a bit, too. How cool is that...
I setup a Blog to track the progress. I won't keep bringing it up here repeatedly since it's not everybody's cup-o-tea. And, well. It's not a Road Star...
But, the website should be easy enough to remember. Stop by and check it out once in a while. And, if you see me going in the wrong direction, let me know before I make a fool of myself...

I like it!!
At first glance, I thought drag bars. But then again, with apes it would look so cleanly old school.
Great job, Rich.

Yep. You've got a sharp eye. There's nothing that'll run hot inside of it, so I kept it simple.
Fireman:
I'm still debating on the type of bars I want to run on it. I've got dragbars coming tomorrow or Monday. If I don't fall in love with them, I'm probably going with apes as a second choice this time.

Seriously diggin it Rich. I'd love a project like that myself and the xs650 twin is the perfect motor for the setup. I really like vintage look rubber and amber headlight. It's touches like that make all the difference. I didn't read all the comments on your site, you going to paint it or go with polished tins? FWIW- The clean look works on that bike.
I'll be checking in on your progress. Nice work. Keep it up!
P.S. You ought to include a link to that site in your sig too. Just a thought.
