Damn Nice Scooter.. A Real Bobber. Keep up the great work.

Sorry, you said no Battery? What type of electrical?

Do you find the headlight burning out often?

How is the charging system handleing the over load?

[burneddrz]

its magneto that runs the ignition and lighting.

its has a voltage regulator.doesnt burn out bulbs. has no charging system to over load.

[djones745]

[86atc350x]

[86atc350x]

is that a stock xs650 frame

[jessnsev]

Burn...did you have to make any mods to the frame achieve this look?

[burneddrz]

the top frame rails have been narrowed and the rear hoop removed.

[ggsxr8]

[krunkkracker]

Love this bike and just wanted to say that it is favorited on my account as one of the bikes I'm using for inspiration with my XS650.

[krunkkracker]

What rear fender and gas tank is that?

I'm building a '78 XS650 bobber and really like the look of yours.

Wicked bike.

[krunkkracker]

Wicked bike, I'm actually building a "true" stock from bobber out of a '78 right now.

I've been curious as to how it will sound with the stock headpipes, sounds good :D

How's the carb setup with no muffs on it?

[aleksandertrap]

Love they way you have made a nice bobber with the stock frame ! Props !

[aleksandertrap]

Is that a European or a US model ? And do you know what year the best xs650 was prodused in? Because i am buying one pretty damn soon... And i need to know witch model i have to look for ?

(Its a bobber project like yours)

Evil ride tho !

[mf0775]

is this bike for sale

[burneddrz]

i sold it more than a year ago.

it has changed hand twice since,but i did see it for sale on ebay recently.

looked unchanged.

[Modellbaubert]

Hi!

Nice Bike!

Which Tank did you use? Is the Tail-section changed or is it still stock?

[burneddrz]

sportster tank.

the frame is stock with all the unneeded stuff cut off.

i removed the rear from hoop and made the one holding the fender.

[royoung2]

Like your bike. Great job.

[burneddrz]

they are uni foam filters.

[sithis0]

one question, how the hell you get it to sound like that?!

[burneddrz]

im not sure what you mean?

its just how it sounds.i didnt try for it.

you mean how fast it revs?

[sithis0]

nope meant its sound, well fair enough have to say its the best sounding 1 iv found!

[burneddrz]

they are just stock heap pipes with a turn down added.

[m3taLB1Rd]

sweet bike.

5 stars for sound alone.

[Secularprophet]

This bike looks and sounds great. Are you running a Banshee, a Sparks or did you do your mag yourself?

[burneddrz]

its yamaha it400 mag i adpated.

[Secularprophet]

You should post a pic at xs650garage. It's a great site for us xser's

[burneddrz]

i have posted there in the past.

my screen name there is "burned".

[Secularprophet]

Now isn't that a near co-incidence, my handle there is mburnsxs650 (close enough). Well, ride-on brother. Happy New Year. I'd like to see what you did to the IT generator.

[captnc1]

SLick bike! Where are you in CO? I have an XS I want to bob this winter, any tips or parts to use/not use?

[joeysixtysix]

really nice!

[burneddrz]

the trick is a custom adapted magneto.

[tomworthing]

i see, can you give any more details? (parts/process) thanks.

[tomworthing]

Nice. Just got my hands on one myself. I've read that these bikes can't run without the battery (mikesxs dot net - tech tips section) What's the trick?

[Rebel232]

Kewl!

[631959]
