So, just like my XS650, this also started as a $300.00 POS. The only thing it did have going for it was that it ran... yeah good and great until I got it apart and found a cracked piston, more on that later. So this bike has undergone some MAJOR frame modifications, starting with completely chopping off the back half of the original perimeter frame and making a whole new upper frame, seat, shock mounts etc.. the stock tank looked like dog shit, so we can across this 76 XS tank, and started chopping away on it. I modified a set of triple trees from a CX 500 to fit so we could run the larger, adjustable forks, and the wheels are currently getting a re-work by Jason at wheelspinmx.com. Frame swingarm etc are powdercoated and ready to rock! Its still a long way out, but she's coming together and I plan on having it ready to rip by the end of march..
