XS650: The Evil Twin
The hardtail rear section was made using some 1 inch I had laying around along with the ends off of the factory swing arm. I used the same 1 inch tubing and bent up some small apes for the little beast. The treasure chest type box holds the electronics, battery and switches for the headlight and ignition. It was then covered with some hand tooled leather work as was the solo seat.
The forward controls and headlight mount are simple but effective. The headlight and the brake and clutch levers are harley parts from my buddys garage. I did 100% of the work myself and its a bitchin fun ride. I got a super low xs in the works and one more in the wings waiting.
