Using the polio button? Super kool bike but what happened to the kicker?! Mine's electric only, so I'm building another one that's kick only! Hmm- maybe I'm just jealous..
nice to bad you sold it. electric start very cool. pipes are sweet sounds great for a 650. i only hope my project bike is this detailed when im done mostly stock but great visual and audio anesthetist (00' sv650 i know its not a cruiser but im making it a custom street fighter)
REALLY NICE! my dad and I are making a 79 xs 650 chopper, did you get yours bored? what other mods to the engine were done? your bike design is really similar to the one we are going to make
very nice sir, when we were taking the top part off the engine after we took it out the oil line snapped, he said we could make a custom one, he did for his H-D Ground Pounder ( his line didn't break ) did you make that weld-on?
Looks very nice- I enjoy a good custom. I don't care what you ride up next to- if you're on a custom, they've been outclassed. When I'm on my chopper, most guys tend to turn or speed away when I pull up next to them at a stop light. I see you posted this a year ago- the blue header pipes indicates a LEAN run condition- you really need to re-jet the carbs before you melt your exhaust valves.
Those are aftermarket thinwall exhuast pipes, so they blue *really* easily. Every indicator (other than that) says they are right on, so I'm not too concerned.
you from michigan , I live in mt pleasant and havbe a 1975 xs650 check out my video on my page and let me know what you think! you have a really nice bike thier did you fabvricate all the work your self? what rear end is that?
If you are gonna chop or bob use a Special- they are cheaper to find, and the Standards are getting to be worth some bucks. All of them have kick starts.
Anybody taking the same risks as me is ok no matter what he rides or how it starts-shiny side up brother.

@Psychobikerbill: It kicks too- just hard to kick and hold the camera.

Dude- at least I have a bike and don't cruise youtube all day looking at other guy's bikes. ;-)
What can I say? I'm lazy.

I do have one, an '83 that I'm rebuilding, I also had an '81 that was mint. I'm just jealous because the electric start on my 83 is shot.

Stock bore, stock carbs (the ones for the '79's are quite adjustable), UNI pod filters, electronic reg/rac, but I think that's about it.

The speedo came from Mike's XS. I fabricated the rear end from scratch with the help of a buddy of mine (who has the bender).
Thanks for the compliments!

where did you get your spedometer from? I like the look of it. I have an 81 650 that is bare bones. No turn signals, no speedo, not much anything.
