Nice work Brian. Please continue this series on your bobber. It's a sweet bike. I can imagine blowing off all sorts of important shit to get out and ride it. I just traded an '80 xs650 to a friend who wouldn't otherwise be able to get a bike. I like the dimensions of your bike. It looks long and lean, not short and squirmy like other bobbers I've seen. I'm gonna pull the trigger on a sweet '74 xs650 this week. It's a cafe style bike, but is otherwise original and in nice shape.
good stuff man I don't got me a bike but i'm lookin to build one this summer.If you could suggest CH3ap ways to build a good looking bike that'd be rad
Hey I built a XS650,it was a good project many parts available and fun to ride when it was done,my only regret is that I sold it,buyers remorse,sellers remorse,DAM IT,your videos helped keep me going when I was not in the mood to cut,grind,and paint,THANKS
Clumsy, search xs650 wiring diagram on google. There's probably 10 simplified diagrams. Also join xs650.com there will be all the help you'll ever need in there.
Love the bike and video! I just picked up an 81 xs650. All I have to do is wire it up. Which is proving to be pretty difficult. Any tips on just making it a kick start.
just picked up two xs 650's today ... CHEAP : ) gonna be my first builds! any do's and dont or anything u can pass on before i start????!!!! thanks dood
Great job, just sold my ol Virago 700 bobber i built, kinda miss it now. maybe my next project will be an XS650. Had a 73 TX650 a few years ago i wished i would have bobbed it............
I love your bike and I love your video. Hey I was wondering. Did you video this around the 600 block of East Hennepin Ave in Minneapolis? I think I recognise it. Ok, I'm joking. I've never been there in my life but I did find it on Google Maps. Minneapolis looks like a cool place to ride.
My favorite video on youtube, loved it last year. Loved it even more after seeing it was made in the Twin Cities. The topic of basement builds is a great one, and I would really like to see more videos like this. I've got 90% of my laundry room build done.... just waiting on a new wiring harness before a few hipsters in Uptown get an ear-full from my XS.
i saw this video a few days ago ............and today im lookin on craigslist and what do i see......hahahahaha......sure wish i had the money to buy your bike ......
Great attitude man , I have built a few too and am no pro- it's not rocket science .
It is really fun and satisfying but mainly if you are enjoying the progress you make then thumbs up. Who wants to be a pro anyways - you just eventually sellout and everything that once had soul or purpose is lost. Thumbs up to you dude , cool bike there~
I really like the bike man Im getting a xs650 soon and I hope it comes out as good as yours. This is how a bike should be simple no frills just two tires a motor and your fat ass on it!

I don't know which I like best....your bike or your video. Well done on both endeavers. You don't have to spend a fortune to have a great ride. I built an Indian bubble fender looka-like on my wifes Hondamatic. The bike got more attention then our Harleys.
just bought my first xs 650 and am building it in my two bedroom apt in oregon your video I found to be both inspirational and also encouraging nice moon racing sticker by the way my family is into the hotrods and rockabilly world. do you have any aftermarket or performance engine parts in your machine that you might recommend to a fellow xs 650 owner? seems like you have no problem overtaking anything. will post a pre build rolling chassis walk around on here soon come by and check it out!
Thanks man. You inspired me. Just picked up a 1971 Honda SL350 and a CL350. Between the two bikes I should be able to put together something fun this winter.....Stay tuned.
Sup dude...gotta say Ive watched alot of youtube bobber docs, THIS WAS THE FIRST THAT MADE ME SMILE AND SAY TO MYSELF, "WAY TO GO BROTHA!!" Extremely motivational...riding what riding is meant to be, simple and fun. Great job, thanks for sharing!
Im starting to research a project just like this and your info here is really helpful because I have an oppertunity to snag this bike off of a friend of mine for zilch .... I think its a 78 or 79 KZ650 its been sitting and its hurtin' but... is it a good frame to at least start with ?? if so ....Ill go get it RIGHT NOW hahah.. Hey man the movie of the bike was cool..

Great looking bike. You kept the lines going for a retro track/dragger bike instead of the crap bag look that so many mess up XS650's and CB750's throwing ape hangers and jacked front ends on them without stretching the frame work which makes them look like the lawnmower powered minichoppers that they used to sell at Advance auto. Anyway, sorry for the venting, great bike. Driving to VA tomorrow to pick up a XS and cant wait to start cutting, lining up, and welding on it. Keep up the great work.
Brian, you represent exactly what the roots of this hobby are all about, most guys don't have the budget for an expensive pro-build. I like your style.
Nice skooter. Just built my third. Used to ride a harley but got tired of the billet skull dorks and built one to be different and now I have a lot more money left over for beer and ammo. Havin a blast
great bike.....i am trying to build the same sought of bike and love the look and was woundering if you could give me the dimensions of your frame and info on the motor......it would be greatly appreciated thanks........
@electricchurch666 do you have a build thread on a site? I love your bike, someone locally is selling an XS with TC Bros hardtail already done, yet it looks way shorter and has no where near the long stance your bike has. What wheels do you have by the way? Thanks for the cool video the bike looks great!

@electricchurch666 hey bro i just looked up that tcbros hardtail. idk much about bobbers or motorcycles in general. so what does the hard tail do? just extend the bike longer? or is there more too it? just curious cause im gona buy a xs650 soon and slowly make it my own creation. just trying to learn a thing or two. and are those the stock forks too?
i know the hard tail converts it from shocks to straight metal frame. so just need to know if theres any benefits other than it being a hard tail, longer overall bike, fit wider tires, ect....
@seanmurray90 Making one of these bikes a hardtail doesn't do anything 'good' as far as performance goes. It actually makes the bike less comfortable and probably less safe. The reason a lot of people make 'rat bobbers' into hard tails is that it will greatly lower the seat height as well as make the bike a 'rigid' and rigids are cool. If you want your bike to look like his, you pretty much need to hack off the rear end of your bike, take out the shocks and fabricate your own rear end
great vid Bri. spent last winter in the garage buildin my xs chop over here in the uk ,rode it this week for the first time in a while with a big cheesy grin on me face .its the best feelin in the world chillin at 60 knowin that wot ya ridin has been built by ya own hand ,twist the throttle open some more an the grin gets bigger !! stay cool dude .
Sick bike man, Im 25 and a DIY kinda guy so is my pops. Ive been lookin for a bit and hopefully will start choppin up a bike soon. Probably a spring front and a hartail from TC as well it looks like quality build. Have fun ridin..
nice bike bro. i just bought 2 complete '81 specials for $200 and in the 3 days i have owned them i stripped one to bare frame and waiting on fedex for my tc hard tail now so i can move forward. will post pics and vid thru build
awesome bike man! is that hardtail ridable? I just picked up an 78 xs650 and am going for that nostalgic bobber feel, but want something that won't shake me to death!
vary nice i wish i had a bike again. I am not one of those die hard HD fans sure there nice but you built this for $500 after it was all said and done. And building the bike is half the fun and gives you the feeling of pride and ownership.WELL DONE ...IT'S MAKES ME JEALOUS......My first bike was 250.00 but it was a1973 Honda 50 trail bike and i was 9 years old
Great Attitude Brian!!! You and i think the same. Its easy to buy a bunch of crap n chrome from a magazine or store and put it together. To me a good amateur or pro bike builder is someone who can build and creat on a budget. I started building bobbers 2 years ago with the philosophy of keeping each one under 1500 cost. Since i have built 3 hardtails all around 1000 bucks(working on #4). It is the best therapeutic money I have ever spent!!! Keep up the good work and thanks for the wiring tips.
do you have a website, or a way to view more of this bike? I am really interested in your design. I have a '79 that I am building and would love to see the little details you got happening here.
Nice work Brian. Please continue this series on your bobber. It's a sweet bike. I can imagine blowing off all sorts of important shit to get out and ride it.

does your bike have vibrating issues? if so have you have found any way to fix it that didn't require balancing the motor?

vary nice i wish i had a bike again. I am not one of those die hard HD fans sure there nice but you built this for $500 after it was all said and done. And building the bike is half the fun and gives you the feeling of pride and ownership.WELL DONE ...IT'S MAKES ME JEALOUS......My first bike was 250.00 but it was a1973 Honda 50 trail bike and i was 9 years old

exactly, its not about spending a fortune out of a magizine. Real bobbers are garage built. Nice build Brian.

Great Attitude Brian!!! You and i think the same. Its easy to buy a bunch of crap n chrome from a magazine or store and put it together. To me a good amateur or pro bike builder is someone who can build and creat on a budget. I started building bobbers 2 years ago with the philosophy of keeping each one under 1500 cost. Since i have built 3 hardtails all around 1000 bucks(working on #4). It is the best therapeutic money I have ever spent!!! Keep up the good work and thanks for the wiring tips.

do you have a website, or a way to view more of this bike? I am really interested in your design. I have a '79 that I am building and would love to see the little details you got happening here.

Great job Brian. You have the right attitude. Keep building and thanx for the links.
A bit more info on the steps of the build would be great for everyone to see. If you could add to this it would make a really great vid.
Good riding to you.
