Bike Exif picked up one of my bikes. I'm stoked.

It's been a crazy couple of days!

The killer Australian blog run by Chris Hunter out of Sydney ran an article yesterday on an XS650 I built. Sparked lots of comments and discussion, and blew up my own blog. (Smoke literally poured out of my blog.)

Check it out if you get a chance.

Congrats! We'll deserved. The bike looks great. I have a similar plan for my KZ with a spair set of showcase from my monster.
 
That has to be one of my favorites I've seen in a year. Love love love.

How hard was it to swap the front end?
 
i love the bike man. I'm the one defending it on facebook btw if you've seen the posts on the picture of your tank and engine people were complaining about bullshit. Personally I love the look of your bike...really cool looking!
 
Thanks, guys. It's been good hearing everyone's reactions. Some negative comments but overall very positive! Thanks Pawn for the backup! Much appreciated. I know the wabi-sabi thing isn't for everyone. But that's ok. To me the dings and whatnot tell a bit of a story.

The front end was not so hard, although I've done a bunch of them at this point. I have learned not to hold out for the perfect fit as is. I just have my machine guys mod the triples to be compatible with the frame. Works like a champ.

Thanks again!

All the bikes look great. I'm especially interested in the xs750 since I have a '77 750. It's in a few boxes and piles currently. Can you tell me what went into the front end, modification wise, to get the reverse forks fitted?
