So here's a couple sneak peeks of my 1983 XS650. Not quite a classic, but only a year off..lol.. I bought it from my bud in Sandpoint ID for $200 and I plan on making a gem out of her..

 I had it torn down within an hour and the choppin soon begin. I Bratt'd her out matching the stock backbone, just like a hardtail. A bit different than my last frame, but I think the lines flow a lot more and the only challenge is keeping the same low stance which will be handled with a set of Burley 10.5" sporty shocks.

 All in all, the frisco'd sporty tank and the Biltwell tuck and roll seat outta make this bike stand out from the crowd of duds. The motor has 8000 original miles and will be treated to a Mikes XS carb kit, a PMA kit and of course Pamco Ignition to make it a super reliable freeway flyer. stay tuned for more tips and tricks for the home builder!
