Awesome build Joel. Checked out your pics of the bike on your MySpace. Very sweet, you deserve huge props for your accomplishments, homebrew choppers don't get much better than this.
PLEASE, tell us what springer have you got on this bike. Am putting together a build and that springer is among the best I've seen. If need be I can forge one from scratch but that is very time consuming and expensive when all said & done, plating, etc.
Wow, that's a great sound! Mean but smooth and throaty... I love it. Some white walls, or even some powder coated rims would finish her off nicely. But she's beautiful the way she is... great job.
I love these non-harley customs. And this is one of the best I've found all week. I just have to ask... how comfortable is that bare metal seat? lol Looks sick as hell on the bike, but I like some comfort as well lol. Oh, and the sound... FRIGGIN AWESOME! Keep the shiny side up man!
@AnimeDevilDog1 I own a harley custom and just finished building an xs650 like this one.I'm with you,who gives a shit what the bike is as long as it looks good.gotta say though the bare seat isn't good when going over 60 mph on a longer haul.I may put a bit of padding on.but that's me anyway.
dude i have a suzuki intruder and wana turn it into a bike like this one is it hard? i have no experiance working or customizing bikes. i know people who know stuff but they told me get a harley and we will talk im like well fuckkkk you.
@danidanger1987 Man, if you want a non-harley custom, then GO FOR IT! And to HELL with those who diss ya because you dont have a Hardly Ableson. Those bikea are nice, but they are NOT as hot shit as some think. And I have seen plenty of Intruders SPANK Harleys
Damn man, bike is HOT!! Love the springer front, and the fact that your headlamp is the highest point on the bike. The geometry is well proportioned in my opinion. Love it! GREAT JOB!
the back rim is the stock 83 xs650 rim i liked the spoke pattern so kept it. as for wiring. i have factory electrinic ignition all mounted in the fake oil tank under the the seat.
@jnystylz How much for a set of those pipes... man you should mass produce those. ya know.. if you want 500 other xs riders rocken em. Badass though.. truly.
AHAH awesome!!!
