I'm really digging this XS650.
_____________________________________________________________________
Wanted to tell you how much I like that Yammie Scott.  Brings back good memories of the "thumpers" (even tho that Yammie is a twin BTW) that we rode back in the early 60's.  Mine was a Matchless Typhoon..650 cc BTW.

Have to say nowadays tho..that I much prefer riding the fours..like most of us have here.

Cheers.  Ichi

Hi Frank..
I agree..a single exhaust pipe (3 into1) seems like it would look better/cleaner.
But overall that bike looks exceptionally good for a modification..don't you think?

True Inspiration. Note Lack of brown skateboard seats, Wrapped headers, Chopped subframes and Fockstone Tyres. PS love the Tracy Bike

checkin in.
1. nice cruiser
2. I like the seat proportions
3&4. Ugly but interesting to look at
5. I like the line created by the top of the rear cowl across to the handle bars.
6. I really love the k paint scheme on this f tank and the color
7&8. I probably like the matching rims and belly scoop the most but i love everything about that bike.
9. just sitting nice
10. looks balanced and nice color

That's a Beauty  8) Jeff  :)
lot's of work and expensive parts for something with a terrible riding position (i.e. long tank, low bars, no rearsets).  Still amazed the money BAT is bringin in.  I doubt you could get $4500 for that in Michigan.

I'm still looking for help to finish my 78 550K Gentleman's Express replica.
I need help w/custom brake caliper bracket and a few odds and ends.

Years ago I did something w/small shop in San Jose area.
I'm open to ideas for a Roadster/Board tracker flavor.
