Here are a ton of XS650 pics. They have everything from bobber's to choppers to cafe's.

They also have links to speed parts, manuals, and frames.

 

Really lookin' good lilbill. How are the forks doing? I'm still watching for some for mine since I got crewed on those 6" overs.

 

James I have some that I was told were 6" over , they are pretty solid . Trees , tubes & legs . I can take some pictures for you if you are interested . If you want them you can have them for shipping + $20 . . . let me know .

 

I have a few pictures of them here.

It's a collection of mostly XS650s reshaped into bobbers and street trackers.

 

Hands-down, the toughest xs650 chop I've ever seen. I got this pic from 650motorcycles.com, but I couldn't find the original link to the rest of the pics.
The pics are all ***led "bobbermike"... if that helps...

 

Hell yes!!! COuld you just put a tape from the axle to the top of the top tree? Just don't need more stockers..... (see this thread-- http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=43957&highlight=ebay )
I'll pm you

 

Ive been watching that thread . . . I got your P.M. and I will do some measurments and take a few pictures tomorrow ( saturday )

 

damn james the lord will provide ,hey ?

 

Hey Mike, just checking back. Oh yeah, you're 3 hours behind, still early there....

 

easy boy.... yer gonna spook him. reel him in reeaallll slow

 

aww, yeah! the **** star motorcycle club is on it's way now!

 

hay.Cool I pick up one a few weeks ago with plans of hardtailing it.It has a peanut tank which was made longer and the frame was raked to take the springer front end.hardtailing it is next.

 

Cool, that has almost a "mad max" look to it!

 

well im pretty much sold now if i could find out how to make it rigid ill be set thanks for the pics

 

Here's mine after I cut off all the junk and threw together a jig from s****. Make the jig BEFORE you cut up the frame. I made the rear axle in the same position, using the original swingarm for reference.
The next pic is after. I had a local machinist make the axle plate, but if you search ebay there's a guy that sells them cheap. All the stretch on mine is in front of the motor, 3"up and 4" out.

 

Here's my little Yamaha 250, sold her the other night...


Here's a friend's BSA 650 project...

 

I scabbed this little tech piece on hardtailing a bike from the XS-650 Garage. It's pretty much what James already said, but there are more photos to look at so I figured it couldn't hurt to post the link...
