Well here is my xs 650 i started it last october i had to do it on a budget as usual but would have it no other way i think half the fun of running one of these great bikes is the build i can say that now i am done but on a cold january night when your upto your knees in wire or just rasped your knuckles when the spanner slipped and your tea has gone cold well thats another story but its all good fun so thanks to guys for support and advice and i hope you like it stomper

Very nicely done. The paint on the tank looks great. I would have to have more padding in the seat though.

Love the ingenuity of the shoestring budget. Good job there stomper, we must be distant cousins. Ha! though I'd probably wear the old leather jacket while looking for a black vinyl couch that someone was tossing into the trash.
Actually, I think that's what I did.

Makes my old butt sore just looking! But if you are ok with it man , that's cool. I like the all black motor. What are you doing for a tail light? Can you show a front and rear view? What was the model to start ? Looks like a standard. Saw somewhere a guy that put lights in the frame where the loop was cut off.

Great looking bike man. One question.. Whats that switch on the left side of the handle bars? It looks like it might be a turn signal switch, and if it is, where did you get it?
Ride safe buddy!

Love the dust boots on the forks. Are those original, or did you throw those on aftermarket?
