Ah i see. Im not half bad with elektrikery if i do say so myself, or plenty of wisdom on this forum if your stuck with anything. Will be great to see her up and going, thinking of a baby XS for my wife once she has mastered a vespa first lol

Best of luck with it anyhow, will keep an eye open for updates

Cheers

How goes the junior XS?

[fungorus]

I was on to it........but couldn't because I had to modify the triple tree.....had it in place but not sorted......long story....got 650 forks back in it...

[melbxs]

I thought I remembered that you had put 100 forks on it?

[fungorus]

Fork tubes are different diameter....had that thought.....but your on to it.....

[melbxs]

Nice Carl.

Just a thought. An option you have available with your spares is to swap the fork bottoms to get the offset wheel. I think that might look better, but you might prefer the tighter steering that the standard forks give you.

Some updated pics guy's.....let me know your thoughts......still a way's to go but....

[fungorus]

gee that is close to what I am doing.....$13 500 start bid  Woah.........I have same pipes and gauges.....the clip ons are far too low for my back.....I like the head light assembly but I am going for an eyebrow type I think......But all in all nice.....where is the battery?........

Nice 650 bobber here Carl
clicky

 At the mo I am going for rough look.....sort out all the mechanical s, oil leaks, cables etc and get her running beautiful. looks not important. Once I have the  bike sorted and get the look I am after, then its wait till the winter, strip down and paint every thing that's not chrome. I like the look of the Bultaco tank that is rounded, but I don't mind the xs tank as well. I think for cost issues I will stick with xs tank. I kind of like the non symmetrical look. I say this all now but It will turn into a hardtail with apes or something cause I had a whim.....go figure....but for now that's the plan.......ruff but sorted....

Nice Carl.

One thing I don't think looks great on the 650 is the tank. Something a bit more rounded would look great and a less prominent filler cap would look better.

What level of finish are you going for? Rough n rugged or "new pin"??

[fungorus]

Clubman bars from Omars

Hey Bro,

always happy to look at and talk about any bike and after all it is an XS and the subject is "XS Related Chatter".

Perhaps a forum title of "All Other Non XS1100 Chatter"?    Christian??
