So i just got my first xs650, its an 81 special II. I have big plans to molest it. This is my second bike build, last year i built up an 80 yamaha sr250 into a bobber, it was a good learner bike but i quickly decided it was too small and slow. I attached some pics, my xs will be a little different style though.

I had an '82 sr250 before my xs. Surprisingly similar to the xs Special. When I started working on the xs it was like I'd done it all before.
