Project XS650 Bobber - Video 1

I picked this bike up with the intention to use it as a project, to turn it into a bobber. I thought I may as well hear what it sounds like without mufflers before I start ripping it to bits, obviously the mic on my mobile phone camera isn't the best quality but it sounded pretty bloody cool :)

Is an XS easy to convert to a bobber? I see them all over youtube. I had an XJ Maxim back in the day and wouldnt mind making a bobber out of one of them.

@SomeRandomFeller Tough question, whether it's 'easy' to modify any sort of bike to this degree really comes down to the skills and resources you have available to throw at the job. If you can weld, handle a grinder, and have at least a fair understanding of motorcycle electricals you should be ok. My opinion: yes, the XS was an easy bike to convert to a bobber, and my skills on all the above are basic to average.
