Nearly every part is customized on my 1981 XS 650. Took 1,5 years to build - by hand!

It's a seat you can get here in germany or at deus ex machina

Jan,

I'm not familiar with the German market XS650. Are those side covers stock to your bike, or did you have to modify the frame to accept them? Those sidecovers/frame went away in 1979 in the US market. Your bike appears to have started as the standard variety. Who made your rearsets? The pipes? What color is that?

Yes, I like it...a lot!
