Howdy, Ratboy from Ireland checkin in, currently in the middle of re-doin a "77 xs650 that was chopped. Trying to improve on it with the help of the hot-rod scene, based on the north coast where they hold the NW200 Road Races, hope to get pics up of the xs in the next couple of days, Ta-Ta for now,

Like i said in the first post, just bought it and trying to make it my own, so be kind!!!
 
No worries, I think it looks good. Damn you guys have some big ass license plates!
 
I dig the bike, but hate the handle bars and headlight. I'd love to see a more classic paint scheme, but it looks good now too.
 
Cheers men for all the comments, yeah the license plates are a joke but it wont stay this size ;)
This is how i bought it,gonna change the bars, headlamp, saddle and the paint to black with gold leaf scrolls, have a friend who stripes, need advice on
what type of seat to run and what guard on the rear.Exhausts are only slip on's to keep it quiet while it passes our version of inspection, have full drag pipes for it
Do you guys think it would look better as a bobber or more traditional, please dont be afraid to criticise as it will help it.;
Cheers for now
Ratboy :)
 
Opinions are like assholes, everybody's got one and everybody elses stinks...
But personally, I'd put a big 7" headlight on it, a set of drag bars, Ditch the bitchpad on the fender and mount a solo saddle.
Course I'm not normally a chopper kinda guy, but I think you scored big time!
CONGRATS!

Did anyone notice how friggin Loooong that chain is?
 
Sheet metal side covers got to go with the tiny light. Not much you could do wrong with a solid start like this. Keep us posted and welcome to DTT.

Honestly, i like the bike, the rims and bars were a bit of a turn down, (fan of the spokes) But like the rest of the lines,

shoot, you guys really have some hooken plates there.
looks great! other wise.
