Can't wait to see the engine in it and the wheels on! Those boys do nice work!
The 'leftovers' project - XS650
- Thread starter Tim
- Start date
Hoping that I'll have it in my shop by mid next week so stay tuned. That being said I have an SR500 to finish and a motor to build for my cafe which frees up that engine for this bike. So progress on this might stall for a while 
but will keep gathering parts like front ends etc.
Anyone know where there's a nice girder front end collecting dust? Would really like one for this frame.

I know - it's killing me trust me.
I've got wheels - XT500 front and rear (21" / 18" alloy rims) and tires (AVON's) for it. Sorting out a front end - hoping to get one from Voodoo - a custom single spring springer setup. Then it's rebuild the engine, get it into a roller and see where I need to weld on tabs/footpegs etc.
Other things taking up my time - started rebuilding my CA95 for my wife, which has taken longer than expected, and ended up buying her a 2011 Suzuki TU250X in the meantime - so now space is also limited.
My SR500 is also staring at me everytime I go into the garage - it's in full roller with the engine in and tank more or less ready - just need to tidy up some details and wire it up / get it running.
So the Voodoo will likely turn into a winter project this season. Will clear out the garage moving some bikes out into winter storage at friends' places and start the project.
