LOL that is great, glad to see you are working on her. Be sure to post pics when you can I am anxious to see what you have done. Yeah when I sold my 650 to you I immediately regretted it. I knew I had to have another one. I have updated pics of the bike that I submitted but they have not posted yet on this site. Good to hear from you and take care.

Brian

Brian,

I am pretty sure I bought your old XS650 brat (you are near Bowling Green, KY?). This one is looking great….you’ll be happy to know she is now down to the frame and we are working on the motor tonight actually. I hope to have some pics of her in a few weeks. I bought an old cb750 and cafe’d that bike — now its time to work on the bobber. Good to see you got another six-fiddy in the garage!

– B

My tins are being painted right now House of Color Torquoise Blue Metallic w/ metal flake, looks killer. I will post more when I get all the tins on the bike. Thanks guys!

This is the style I like, more or less. Is that swingarm extended? What shocks are those? Those double spoke wheels look good, will probably use them on mine as well. Also, is that the VI brat kit? Keep it up!!

I sent him a pic of what I was looking for and he fabbed them up very quickly. I am very pleased with how it is going so far. The wheels are stock xs650 wheels I traded a guy in Nashville for these, he wanted mag wheels and I wanted wire wheels so we just traded. Thanks for all the comments
