it’s a nice bike. well done.
no reflection on it but.. i just don’t get the carb hanging out the side of a bike concept.
getting on and off the bike would seem to be an exercise in caution that would get old after the novelty wears out.
nice choice colors. the orange looks very nice.
to each their own i suppose.

Yamaha xs650 is one of the best bike if you are looking for a cheap chopper build. Here you will get power, fast acceleration, and a custom chopper that is easy to ride and handle well.

TO answer some of the question, the carb is a wiseguys setup, the dude makes some cool stuff. the wrinkle paint is on the motor only. As far as how much i was wanting to sell bike for was $7500, i got more than that into it plus countless hours of blood, sweat and lots of tears, since i had to break the bike down for a few motor swaps, to long of a story. Here is my breakdown of my money invested, 1200 for tigman custom frame (the guy knows his stuff) he has built me about 5 frames, 400 front end, 600 tires and wheels, 700 brakes and stuff, 2000 paint, 800 gas tank, 500 choppershox seat and blacksheep leather, 1000 for donor bike including clean paperwork, then all the misc stuff like chain, chain tensioner, hand controls, 800 in chrome, motor mounts, rear fender, sissy bar, handle bars, electrical box, custom foot conrols, exhaust,lights,elecrical. Anyways, i built this bike to pretty, my next one will have no chrome or paint, just powdercoating.

Fabbastard, I think he’s talking about the paint on the motor.

Nice lookin bike Love the colour scheme! Wrinkle painted? I’ve been painting for about 25yrs What the H does that mean? In my humble opinion Wrinkle means free screwed up paint job or do it again, please! Educate me as to how this is good.
