nice bike, this is the very first example of a chop with shocks still on that is making me think twice about a hardtail ( 63 years young,) i am planning a xs build this winter and will be looking very close at your bike. i’ve almost ordered a tc bro hardtail several times but haven’t sent my nickles their way yet, then you post this extemely well designed bike WITH shocks, man your messin with me!!!!!! again job well done. thanks for sharing

The build has alot of little details that are not noticable on the photos. It is a little to traditional for my tastes now but I still enjoyed the overall build and I am happy with the results. My sons and I have since built an XJ650 4cyl. that is very unusual and also are working on a Big-Bore Buell Blast a 750 twin Kawi and another XS650 with a hardtail. Have owned several BSA’s, Yamahas and a Triumph in past years but the availability and low cost of the XS’s along with its great engine design and aftermarket parts availability make the XS best of all the twins in my estimation.
