Yamaha XS650 Chopper bobber

This is my first attempt at chopping a Yamaha xs650. Its a 1979 with a TCbros hardtail and forward controls, old ford tail light, softail head light, West eagle seat, and welded on sportster slash cut pipes. Still uses points ignition but seems to run good. I have a 1980 XS650 in the works right now, im thinking somthing low. More of a chopper than a bobber

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
