650chopper How To article: How to make fork covers
I swear man, just love to see some of the trick bits on some of these bikes and how they were made.
Your bike is freakin awesome and nicely outside the box. Have an idea for a lowrider bicycle chop using a xs400 and that frame proves to me the style will work.
Tracked down some swagged cone tube so think I am gonna give a try myself at making some fork covers.
Way Kool bike ya made

One of the best “new” frames taken off of “old” ideas in quite a while.

What size is the front rim? How did you make the sl 175 brake work with the xs650 forks? Like the bike by the way.

I can’t stop looking at this build. As for anybody that would talk it down is because you did first. Keep the good work up and hope to see more builds of this quality.

Really great work… Nice to see something other than all the cookie cutter hardtails that are out there. Just so you know if you don’t treat that frame with something, it’ll be a rust bucket in no time at all, trust me I did my Sporty frame that way and even cleared the bare metal and two years later needed to tear her back down to PAINT the frame, went with a tungsten metal color and air brushed the welds, looks better than it did bare!

The Curvey frame is super original looking and definitely reminds me of a Schwinn bike.
I really dig the front. The fork covers are sick. You should start making and selling them.

Very nice and I’m sure it’s fun. Same as others…something different. Nice to see someone is thinking and fabricating rather than the usual bolt on or ready made stuff. Nothing wrong with that, just have seen too much of it. Great job!!
