Looking good Tim. Nice work thus far ;)

Following this! :D

Thanks! I think my next bob will be a harley ;) She's totally running now. I was fighting some gremlins with her at first. Couldn't get past 2nd gear :o but adjusted the shifter and clutch and running through all now. Also still fighting some leaky seals around the points covers :( but that...

Re: XS650 Project Black Beauty --- Its Alive Inside Glad to hear that, thanks man! Yea, Its hard to resist collecting more bikes for the barn. I actually fixed this xs up and sold it for money on the bobber project. Yea the heritage rims are something. I didn't like them at first, but they...

I really dig that battery box. I might have to copy you ;)

Re: XS650 Project Black Beauty --- Seat ON Thanks Man! uh, yea. It was a lot more work than what I had expected, but I really wanted the look of a drilled rotor. The pattern I chose is why it was so painfully slow (close to a hundred holes). I went through several drill bits, but it was...

Re: XS650 Project Black Beauty --- Seat ON Working on that!!! lol Thanks! Thanks, yea at first I really wasn't a fan of the Heritage Special spoke pattern, but now I think its grown on me and I'm digging em'. I really wanted to get white walls for the front and back, but I couldn't find a...

Re: XS650 Project Black Beauty --- GAS Tank Triumph Oil Tank/Eletronics Box 3.3 Ribbed (for her pleasure) Mustang Tank Lookin good I think. Now I'm onto wiring but I believe my coil is fried so I'm waiting for a new one from Mikesxs. Stretched the exhaust, and put on pods.

I like where you're going with this build. This is your bike so don't let everyone influence you too much lol. With that said, I like the headlight mount but I agree that it could be shortened so the headlight is closer to the frame. I also think you'd be more comfortable with mid or forward...

Re: XS650 Project Black Beauty --- Seat ON License plate frame! I just traced a template from a license plate, then added some freehand tabs for the axle and stop/running light. I hope that chain will last :o Cut a hole for the axle and we're ready to go. I ordered the brake...

Re: XS650 Project Black Beauty --- Seat ON Thanks! Yay the solo seat finally came in the mail. I cannibalized a piece from the old center stand to use as the mount for the front of the seat. My lovely wife bought me the spring pegs for my birthday. I'll let the pictures do the talking because...

Re: XS650 Project Black Beauty --- Rolling Chassis Worked on the fender mounting some more. Banged out some tabs from scrap, and welded to the frame. The fender bracket was bent by hand also and has a few imperfections but looks decent, very minimalist. Brake stay tab was also welded on, and...

Re: XS650 Project Black Beauty --- Rolling Chassis Progress feels good. Especially when you have two of your buds help lift a "heavier than it looked" engine off a stand and slap it into a frame. Well it didn't quite get slapped in, but the entire feat was accomplished one Monday night with the...
