XS650 Burnout!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

by Brash on March 4, 2010

I just bought this ‘79 XS650 from a loving owner who pampered it and rode it on Sunday’s and kept it neatly tucked away in his garage. I painted it flat black, drilled out the pipes, re-jetted it, threw some moto bars on it and am now enjoying adding to it’s 7700 original, adult ridden miles before I take a sawzall to it. Poor little guy had an easy life up until now.

Xs650 bobber documentary or short film. My name is Brian ~ I’m an amateur bike builder. I’ve noticed a really cool culture developing around garage builders, dirt balls, drag bikes, rat bikes, bar hoppers, choppers, and the like. I decided to compile a little longer a video to show off the bike (obviously) and talk a little more about exactly what it means to me to be riding what I build, and my appreciation for DIY or building on the cheap. This bike was built from a 1973 yamaha xs650 twin and includes a TC bros hardtail, 81 650 special front end, an 18″ rear wheel from the scrap yard, an early sporty tank and a couple really cool Firestone throw back tires. A couple great sites and people to check out… knucklebusterinc.com ~ biltwellinc.com ~ the Deathtraps ~ 4shin4lunch (on youtube) ~ xs650chopper.com ~ Greasy Kulture Magazine ~ Dice Magazine ~ the Horse Magazine ~ chopcult (coming soon) ~ czombieblog.com ~ DO ME A FAVOR ~ Make a reply and post it. I’d really like to collect some commentary, bike videos, photos and ideas from everyone. Doesn’t matter what kind of bike you ride. I’m more interested in thoughts from people building at home. I’m hoping for 50% input or feedback and 50% eye candy. DIG IT. xsbrian

1978 Yamaha xs650 special

This is my winter project finally coming together. I say “winter project” but I didn’t actually get started until maybe late Feb. 6 weeks and few cases of beer and she’s just about done. So How did I do it for 500 bucks? I bought 2 bikes. One was a 73 frame w/ motor and title (what you’re looking at) – 0 on ebay. The other a running/busted 81 650 special w/ title (guy was laid off) – 0. I stripped all good parts from the 81 and put on my frame. I sold the left over 81 frame and motor w …

Had a friend in town. Made him hold the camera while I took the bike for a ride up and down the street. This is my recently completed xs650 bobber. It’s a points motor with tci charging system. I’ve got a few videos up of this bike. I have another planned for the future but I’ve got a few other projects lined up first. Enjoy!
