Finally finished my 77 XS650 cafe racer.
These pictures are in random order, I should have did a better job of documenting my build.
The biggest mod is the engine. The crank has been rephased, which chages it from a parallel twin to a 277 firing order that kinda sounds like a vr4.
This is what it looked like when I bought it last year.
I cut off the rear loop and made a battery and electronics tray.
700cc JE Pistons
Freshly painted frame...single stage
Battery tray and solenoid. The Shorai Battery easily turns the motor over
I don't like how this looks, but it I couldn't think of a cleaner way of a fuse block
The coil brackets from Joker Machine work great
Almost there
Home made rearset brackets
Final product
Hugh's Handbuilt rephased 277 crank and cam
JE 700cc piston
Pamco Ignition
PMA swap
Mikuni VM34 carbs
Steel Dragon Performace V-stacks
Redwing Hammerhead Shocks
Race Tech cartridge emulators...these work great
Happy Dan's Brembo caliper bracket
Ducati Monster brake caliper
Honda CB750 master cylinder
XS750 Gas tank with Monza Gas cap
Airtech Streamline bubble tail
Motolanna triple clamp
Magura clip-ons
Here is what is sounds like.
