It is a 1971 Yamaha XS 650. This bike was completely dismantled & every single part was scrutinized for wear. Those parts which showed excessive wear were replaced. All parts on the bike are either hand fabricated one-of-a-kind pieces, new after market parts or re-built original pieces.
Modifications were performed & then everything was bead blasted.
Then black powder coating was applied at American Powder Coating in Auburn.
THIS BIKE HAS NO PAINT ON IT TO CHIP…IT IS ALL POWDER COATED.
A 1978 replacement engine was used that had only 3.5K on the clock & runs very strong.
The Mikuni BS38 carbs have been completely re-built with new jets for proper flow.
A custom made Wise Guy free flowing exhaust system has been added as well.
With these upgrades an increase in horse power has been achieved.
High heat epoxy coating has been applied to the engine.
Polished & modified engine cases.
This bike sounds SWEET with a nice THROATY growl.
