Stretched Bobber:
Hi,
Here are a couple of
pictures of my stretched bobber XS650. It started out as a 1982
Heritage Special. The back bone has been goosenecked, the neck
has been lowered 3 inches. The rake is now 40 degrees. The swing
arm has been stretched 4 inches and an under brace added. The
handle bars are clip-ons that have been lengthended 6 inches. The
grips are billet. The seat rail was lowered and now seat height
is 22 inches. Forward controls were needed to accommodate the
shifting and braking since the seat is so low. The tank is a
sporty tank that we cut the tunnel out of and made it deeper to
sit right over the engine. The tappet covers are my design-billet
pointed style. Everything is powder coated except the frame and
swing arm. This bike took me two months to build. The bike still
needs the side covers made and powdercoated. This is my second
XS650 softail with one hardtail on the bench now.
This bike was built at my home shop: Wise Guys Choppers and
Customs in Stanwood, Wa. All frame, swing arm modifications, done
here. The gas tank, fender, seat pan, etc were all powder coated
here also. I provide service and build XS650 bikes as a home
business now and enjoy every minute of it. Thank you for allowing
me to send pics of my bike for
your review.
