That's crazy man. How do you even hear of using banshee parts lol....
It's no secret. Hugh from Hugh's Handbuilt did a write up on XS650chopper.com way back in 2012. Google XS650 PMA Banshee conversion and it'll probably pop up at the top of the page. He's been selling kits for a while, as does MikesXS. I assume Hugh came up with it. If not, and I were to guess, chopper guys may have figured it out even before 2012. It's like anything, once you start to find common sizes of stuff, it's amazing the rabbit hole you go down finding parts. In my years of building, I continually find many Honda and Kawasaki parts that interchange. There are advantage to holding on to junk storage. HAHA. The internet has made it so easy. Now to just get guys selling parts on Ebay to give measurements of their stuff. That would really open up parts swapping.That's crazy man. How do you even hear of using banshee parts lol....

Might be my favorite build I have seen you do.
Thanks. I'm typically not a fan of straight pipes either. This is going to be a stretch for me. I hope for the best, but I bought the goodies to change it if it does't sound right. That's why the pipes are still bare metal.Hey, at least you got both rods and the ball for the clutch. I guess not expecting extras. Looking forward to the sound. I love a stock parallel twin's sound, although straight piped not so good. I'm thinking this will sound right.
Would be perfect if he ever finished the tri-rod.I'm inches away from dropping some hard-earned on a 70's style burnt orange velour tracksuit. Although chances are - sadly - slim I'll ever ride this bike, looking at it has nudged me closer to the buy button.
Haha. The tri-rod is under a cover, just outside of my garage door and about ready to get finished. The plan was to get it ready for the Small Bore festival at Barber in June. It doesn't appear to have been cancelled yet.Would be perfect if he ever finished the tri-rod.
me too for anything longer than a few minutes or faster than 40 mph and I have a quiet bike and full face helmet. But that XS I'd need them just to kick it over.Not sure about you guys, but I usually ride with ear plugs anyway. Unless it's running to the gas station or something, but even then I still try to
