As soon as this “EFFIN” snow melts, I’m ready to take JIM BOB for a Shake Down ride. It’s sounding really good. I want to ride it a few miles before I knock it apart for some paint.

The seat is manufactured by BELL, The Helmet Co., It’s a spring seat for a Bicycle. The tank is salvaged from a hardtail Custom Harley Chopper.

I’ve cleaned up the headlite/upper tree area and mounted a smaller lite. It’s about time to work on the fuel delivery and throttle system. Spring is coming.

I worked on it a little yesterday, i mounted a forward brake pedal with a hidden cable to the rear. It’s gonna work good. Why can’t I add update photos to this comment??

Since I sent this in, I’ve Rough mounted a different rear fender. I’ll be painting everything when it’s built. I thought the chrome rear fender wasn’t very creative, so I’m working on a Harley Glide front fender for the rear. It looks good to me and will be more functional. Pics later!

Yup I love where this is going, but I don’t know what I like most. So I’ll play it safe and say ” All the crap on the floor and not on your bike is the most appealing part so far”. Can’t wait to see this one done!

Love tank, seat and chain guard. Great build. If it was a hardley-wavison you’d have $5000 and unoriginal. Keep it coming !

The tank is a Custom aluminum tank from a Custom Hardtail HD. It has a slight leak. The Harley owner didn’t want it patched, so it’s a throw away also.

I’m in North Ia.. Before the Yamaha, I had 2 Suzuki 750s that I gave $150. ea.. I rode the hell outta the one until last Fall when I traded both for a 48 Ford Coupe, Project. I’m liking the way this 650 is starting to look and I’ve checked out every bike on this site, and have become a FAN. I plan to keep this one for awhile.
