I picked up this 81 XS650 a little over a year ago. It had some engine problems along with needing a few other things fixed on it.
Fast forward a year and here is where I'm at. I didn't care for how the TC Bros hardtail was on there so I made my own using David Bird axle plates.
I ditched the white walls and mags for a 18" rear and a 21" mini drum up front, made a set of riserless polished ss bars, and mounted an axed alien tank from Throttle Addiction.
I'm now working on my mid controls. I based them off of brackets I picked up from Jumpstreet Customs and went from there with 1" cold rolled solid bar and some 1.25" dom.
I'm hoping to get it running in the near future. I also have a custom set of pipes Jumpstreet made for me, but you'll have to wait until I get the engine in to see them...
