welp, Im sure I know some of you cats from other boards, I use jeepurz bout everywhere.
Been on xs's since late 03, been riding since the early 70's, Ive got two riders and one project for this winter.
Bikes seem to be the only thing my old brain remembers.
That said heres a photo, me (with optional google to hide my face) and the kids.

Are those some scrambler type pipes on the silver one?

thanks for the kudo's, pipes are omars, they originallly came on the yellow bike when i bought it, I thought they looked better on the dropseat bike.
The silver bike has petes IG and a sparx unit on it, I love it. When I get the $ the yellow bike will get swapped .

Welcome and nice builds! I would love to see some more pics of the silver bike. I am trying to go for a similar look. Did you modify the rear suspension mount locations or just a plain jane chop in the rear with a custom seat?

seat rail was dropped 2-2 1/2 inch and sectioned, joe wiseguy fixed me up with a streached swingarm, 3-4 over goin by memory, sheet metal pan, with a cowell off a scrapped out husqvarna seat, xs 11 air shocks,honda xl 175 tank, headlights an old speedometer and taillights an old turn sig, rake was left alone, went to coker tires for the firestones, 650 central for the carbs & sparx unit, blacksmillbilly drill my case for the oil cooler, and pamco's ig. its a 76 but I went to 35mm tree n forks. groovesdown stitched the seat. All those guys did the real work.
Thankyou for the comments,

Thank you Sir! Yeah I definitely love the build. I am looking forward to ripping my 78 apart this winter and finishing what I started over a year ago. I will make an attempt at posting a build thread.
