Yamaha XS650 Bobber ...Idle

First Video. First project. Yamaha XS650 Bobber, Chopper, whatever. 1978 Motor and rear fender, Custom rigid frame, 2" under DNA springer, Ultima brakes, Sportster tank, GreatScott Snake Charmer pipes, Pamco Ignition, Mini Z bars, etc. Not much from the original bike left. Was a blast to build and is awesome to ride. Still a few minor changes to make before I am completely satisfied. It took me a little less than 2 years from the start to get it to this point. I am very appreciative of the community around the XS650, without all the inspiration I stole from youtube and ideas from all over the web this bike would not have happened.

They are TC Bros controls with custom mounts and linkages. Thanks for commenting.

Looks good !!!!! what is the front wheel dia and speedo set up ????

[73waylon73]

@tonystees It is a 21inch wheel with a Drag Specialties speedo, cable and drive. I spent hours in catalogues and the local shops to figure out all the small issues I couldn't make a solution for. Thanks for the comment!
