How on earth do you go over a bump with that front fork, it looks like theres only 1″ of travel?? Is that how you run it or was it adjusted like that for the pictures?

Last year i buy a front end springer from ardcorechoppers…i am still waiting for it…they never refound me…and refuse to any of my contacts…very bad transaction…they had 2000 $ from me…very big shame for an international fare.
P.S. Don’t ever trust them!!!

@Spun, Yeah it had a ram air set up but during the shake down of the bike they were removed and just never got around to putting them back on.
We did use then first on our “sinister” build and they worked out fine on that bike.

Nate, I’ve seen pictures of your bike with long, wrap around, forward facing intakes. What happened to those? Performance thing? The sleeze is top of the list in my book. I’d hold on to that one, but it would probably be different if I owned it. Happy thanksgiving.

I’ve never commented on the Ardcore builds because it has always seemed so unnecessary. Quality, attention to detail, and pure attitude oozes from these chops. Beautiful bikes from real pros.

I look at ’em for a long time and drool, and then look some more. I don’t worry about commenting because these guys have got it going on and they know it.

This bike isn’t by any means a pinnacle of innovation, but still… damn. It’s what, in the end, any good bike in my not-so-humble opinion should be all about; simple, clean, functional and subtle style.

It’s lack of bling is the very thing that makes this bike stand out. It isn’t begging for attention. It’s worthy of adoration and knows it.

That beautiful shade of orange (my favorite color and part of my own paint scheme) gives the bike the exact right amount of pop… with the fender on. (Or maybe I just dig that color so much I want to see more if it.)

BTW, when I said subtle, did you check out the very subdued detailing on the tank? Absolutely beautiful…

WoW that is sick! I would trade my 2007 JP spyder for one of these, hell its going on craigslist now.. I want a xs650 chopper/bobber and I will get it soon.

A big, big inspiration. Can’t say enough good things about it. You guys are artists. It caught my attention bigtime. One of the bikes I refer to as I work on my build.

I built my first chopper using a 72 xs650 in a trackmaster rigid chrome moly frame. took me a long time and it didn’t sell for much money back then. Should have kept it! Strong motor, light bike, beat lots of harleys. Lots of fun to ride. The electrics were a freaking nightmare!

Killer sickle Nate! This is no doubt the inspiration of my build.

Do you guys sell those oil tank/electrical boxes at Ardcore? I can’t find any that I like except this one.

This is probably one of the coolest I’ve seen. Good work mate. i’m in the process of a build and want the exact look as yours. what kind of bars are you using, looks like no clamps? great bike.

I did and you guys make nice stuff. I would just like to venture out and try it on my own. I have acesss to alot of metal working equipment. I would just like to try it on my own like it was done back in the day. And if it dont work I now know where to go.

That’s a sweet a machine. But I am kinda looking to do most of the work on it myself. I did see that the place that did your frame does offer a hardtail conversion for 500. Im just looking to build a bike that fun and reliable. My one xs650 I had(first bike) died with 70k on it. I miss the fun of goin out and crusing. I blew about 800 bucks in tires on my 01 kawi zx9r last season. The yamaha was just a fun bike and cheap to ride. Want to get back to it.
