I have to respectfully disagree with FLG67, I really like the frame color...especially with the black header pipes.  Nice looking bike. How's the little guy run?

Thanks. I ran it all summer long at least twice a week to work (15 miles each way). Runs strong and pushes my 200 lb butt at a good pace.

Getting readt for a KZ440 bobber hardtail build, was wondering can you tell me about the hardtail on this bike, did you fab it yourself? Did you buy a hardtail kit and weld it together? Anything would be helpful thnx...

[fiddbow]

They sell kits on Ebay to hardtail an XS650 for about $100. I recommend getting a tubing notcher also. The frame will only be as strong as the quality of the tube to tube fit and the welding.

That bike really sounds nice! I've got 2 bikes.. an '83 Z400 belt drive and an "83 440 LTD with chain drive. Am leaving the 400 stock but am adding windshield, sissy bar, and hopefully a sidecar. The 440's getting triked though.
