Black Betty

This bike was built using a 1983 XS650 HERITAGE SPECIAL as a starting point.

Very exiting bike to ride both on-road and off. Handles highway speeds with no problems and spirited sprints on logging roads and trails are a pure joy.

Countless man hours involved in this bike build. A one-of-a-kind machine with rip-roaring appeal!

The bike was completely stripped down to the bare frame and certain modifications were done and it all got media blasted and powder coated for a long lasting finish.

The custom fabricated bits on this bike are nearly endless but some of them are:

A rare N.O.S. 1970 Harley/Aermacchi fuel tank has been used.

Custom modified pipes in conjunction with some megaphone mufflers complete the exhaust set-up.

Custom made wiring loom for a simplified electrical system

Lots of new parts have been added to the bike including:

• New XS-Charge 200 watt PMA Charging System

• New Mikuni 34mm round slide carbs and pod filters

• New Pamco Electronic Ignition System

• New Bronze Swing Arm Bushings

• New Tapered Steering Bearings

• New Tracker style Handle Bars

• New Anti-Gravity Li-Ion Battery
