dude, pretty damn cool build! I like it, I read some of the posts after and I figured since you were the guy riding it, if you didnt like the seating position than I figured you'd change it, and ya did. But man, seriously I love the oil bag and that rebar on the back end it looks cool as hell. The color scheme ties in pretty good! Sick bike!
Absolutely brilliant job. I'm currently getting an old CB750C running-- twin cam, so electric start only, sadly. I'm really digging how the chrome more complements the bike than accesorizes it. Too many people get that wrong and end up with way too much chrome, or chrome in all the wrong places, but you executed it incredibly well.
As a side note, what kind of gauges are you using?
Well fuck me ... its a nice bike but it kinda looks like a pee wee 50 ... And why the stupid look on the riders face ... he looks like he just fucked the neighbors cat ...
@apex1113 Already did, chopped the post and set it back 3 inches. This video was made directly after the build,.....and hadn't had much "shake down" time yet.
Great editing and music. Great concept and looks to be some good fab and ideas. However, that seat is WAY too high and Way to far forward. I can't believe your buddies didn't say anything. It just looks all kinds of wrong. Now that I look at it apears that you've used the stock tire size and wheel base. It's just too awkward looking with that set up. I have a hacked hardtail 650 I got in a lot and it's the same shit. The whole thing is just so odd and way off.
@destro513 Destro, I totally agree 100% about the seat. I actually shot most of this footage within the first month of completing the build and hadn't really "shook down" the bike good enough yet. I ended up chopping out the center rail and moving the seat posts back a full 3 inches. I'm 6'2 and that seat had me cramped way up there. Ohh and yes the tires are stock rims taken off a 77' XS650. I ended up skimping on certain parts of the bike to save money and the tires were part of it.
@okbye1 Sorry it took a sec to reply,...sooo strangely enough you can get one of those tanks just about anywhere if you are willing to do some serious mods to it. It is two seperate fire extinguishers that have been cut and spliced together with a twist in locking section in the middle. Then I stripped them down and had them chromed.
LOL. You need to repost this on xs650chopper because it's hard to see the details. I didn't even know the holes went straight through the tank until i watched 3 videos!
Ha ha this video mega death rocks to the max!! We need more chrome and Zack Wylde riding a killer hell unicorn with flames coming out its ass in the next video.
@ownTer Actually I am in the works of chopping up an '05 1200cc Sporty right now. Designing the frame has been a real huge challenge because I'm trying to keep it fully rubber mounted.
yeah mike that is a bad xs.i just got done building my xs 650 with a amen rear end and went with those spike grips.keep up the great work my friend...
Yeah, unfortuantely I have destroyed about 5 sets of brake light bulbs and 2 sets of turn signals due to vibration already. Not a whole lot you can do but just try and rubber mount just about everything?
how is it when you ride for a while? I just ask cause i this summer i will finally have my 81 special out on the road that i've been chopping since last year and mine vibrates pretty bad so i'm just am tryin to get a feel on what to expect on longer rides. thanks for the info
@xchoppermikevx Might wanna try led lights. Take one for fog lights and make it fit. Use a resistor for change in brightness between normal and brake light. There are also led replacements for the turn signals.
OH MY FUCKING GOD!!! That is the probably the coolest freaking XS 650 chop I have ever seen. The chrome tank with the holes is amazing. Mike, you are the man dude......
Com este tridente ai atraz....nem jesus te salvaras....envocando leis que não conhece..hahahahh
