[xRussianButcher]

[xRussianButcher]

GREAT SOUND. almost had me fooled for an S&S motor lol

[arcflash6]

Well i was gona build a Xs650 chopper. Not as kwl now that ik everyone has em

[JETHO321]

Seems everybody and their brother are building these things now. Of course...... Seems like everytime I do it, everybody else does.

[XRayCam]

[luigi3858]

[TheTater1984]

was this bike just in THE HORSE? btw. keep the points, real bikes have mechanical ignition!

[sandbridgeco]

nice build dude, can yoiu give me some heads up on the forward controls? TC Brothers forward controls? I have 2 hardtailed 650 in my garaged im building. can you use stock exaust(stock platform) with the TC Brothers forward controls?

[phaze500]

very cool,how much do you think you have into it? my boss has one and i was gonna steal it and build it for him,do you remember what ya used as far as parts go????

[faahQu]

@phaze500 Are you going to suck a promotion out of his cock while you fix up his bike for him? Then he can see that you can multi task. That would help you move up in the company.

[phaze500]

@faahQu

yea that was the purpose you fawk

[175yam1]

cool

[TheRosberg2]

Holy shit! I hope mine sounds like that when I'm done. Do those pipes have baffles? Did you need to re-jet?

[betteronthursday1]

@TheRosberg2 no baffles. they are rusted old drag pipes off a sportster that i cleaned up and welded to my stock head pipe. I did rejet both carbs, i bumped the pilot and main jet both up 2 sizes

[sundrop636]

i hope my bike will be that badass when i am able to get it

[carlman1987]

nice man

[barkulator]

Do you get a stock ground clearance with the TCBros hardtail?

[ismokegreentrees]

[bamf1994]

[bullhead360]

[toxicinspector]

awesome sound

[toolmantaylor]

im just 20 min away to get to west eagle factory here. Im also an exclusive distributor of there products, from custom seats to sadle bags etc. Dude you got a nice bike!

[betteronthursday1]

thank you, the seat is actually the most exspensive part on the bike, but its sooooooo nice!

[Thiefg82]

good sound!

[mammutman08]

nice job, im workin on one now. what size are those ape hangers?

[betteronthursday1]

10" mini apes

[pissonuasshole]

Hey,nice bike man,can i ask ye what type of tank is that and did you modify??

[wanderer1031]

i dig the mag on the front. only thing i'd change is the exhaust.

[betteronthursday1]

thanks man, the exhaust does sound better in person, they are drag pipes off a sporty that i welded on my stock headers. Cheap way out

[wanderer1031]

effin' bulletproof motor. look great when ya take em outta the home the factory gave em.

[tadd442]

Is that a stock carb set up or did ya have to jet 'em?

[wirye]

HOLY SHIT DUDE!!! Im looking to do this to a bike this summer. ANY info you can give on bobbing Yamaha Virago would be much appreciated

[harveydeadman]

I think your best bet would be to do what Im doing and get a manual for it, take it apart and then start looking at custom parts for it. if your not looking to stretch the bike, then handlebars, chrome/powder coating is probably going to be what will make your bike sing. I m guessing anyway. bobbing seems to be a relatively simple science. search the internet for parts and manuals, you'll find everything you need.

[betteronthursday1]

i agree 100% with harvey. I just started a kawasaki kz440 built. I left the stock swing arm in place, but welded in new tube stock steel to make my own hardtail. Total cost of the hard tail...$8 worth of metal at a scrap yard. Do get a manual though, it will be the best tool for the bike.

[1947Chief]

good job

[lobsterfu]

Great Bike! Ive had over 50 bikes and am riding a 2000 sporty,but i pick'd up a basket case xs650 and am planning on doing a low budget bobber chop job on it and your video shows to me how cool one could be.Way to go!

[ginovieto]

What do you do with the guages? I dont see the speedometer anywhere!? Or maybe im trippin and that is how it supposed to be lol

[betteronthursday1]

i have no speedo, front fender, front brakes, horn, signals or mirrors. As striped down as i could get it

[ronaldsmusicfactory]

dude this bike looks good!!,my dad bought one new and it was always around the yard growing up, i never they could be the best looking yamaha bobber ever

[ronaldsmusicfactory]

i meant to say i never thought they could be the best looking yamaha bobber ever but they do and they sound good to

[ginovieto]

What mods have you done to this one?

[ginovieto]

damn dude i thought the cm was bad ass!!! thats pretty damn nice bro! How do i make it a hardtail again?

[myway43]

This is the stuff! That looks fantastic.

[myway43]

Man I love the bobber look !

[tntchitwood]

another great job, keep up the good work!

[987kike]

Nice Bike>>>>>>>>>>>>

[redphoakis]

your first attempt paid off my friend. This is bad ass.

[ironriot666]

Are those wheels the same that come on the XS650 Special?

[betteronthursday1]

yea, it was originally a special. Then i had spoked rims on it, didnt like that and switched back to the mags.

[ironriot666]

Ah thought so. Good choice IMO. Seen countless renditions of the xs650 chop with spoke wheels and I gotta say your's just stands heads above the rest due to the mags. This is one of my fav chops.Great work

[geraldineski]

Good job. I've seen this elsewhere and have it saved in My Pictures as an example to follow.

I have a 1980 that gets a hardtail this year.

[soobeng]

wonderful. i am so sick of V twin cycle. it's such a luxury to an in line twin/inline four engine. great job. congratulation.

[geraldineski]

Yes there are other perfectly good bikes besides V twins.

[HDAHOLIC]

Shit man another cool bike now i'm jealous - I love these bikes i call them rat bikes good job!!

[vociferous25]

I've seen a lot of xs650 choppers and this one stands out, really nice looking bike.

[etrnl4ever]

i almost done with my xs build probably another month, did you make that exhaust, if its free flowing what jetting did you use i built a similar pipe design

[predaking7474]

one of the best i ever saw

[danfhowe]

she looks and sounds mity fine

[dascallywhops]

LOL Well man thanks i just went to craigs list an bought a 78 400xs in NY. Getting it in a week. Just going to tinker around on it an get it going an the chopping the backend but no hard tail. I wanta wait till next winter to get into that. HOpe maybe when i get it done well meet up an go riding. I will probly have some questions an hoping maybe you could help me if i get stuck. Its my first bike ever so im going to get stumped somewhere along the way. Thanks again man

[dascallywhops]

WOW man. Thats all i can say is WOW. I liked the honda but damn im loving the yama. I Hope you still have the honda, but if not i can understand cause this bike is just nuts. You said you welded on the hardtail section? It looks smooth an cant even really tell. DAmn nice work keep them coming....

[hicklers]

Your bike is sick.

[betteronthursday1]

Thanks!

[rabbithowlowlowl]

nice bike!
