XS 650 Build

- I picked up this 1976 Yamaha XS-650 for $200. to build a little cafe racer.
I changed the handlebars to clubman bars. I added Vans gum grips, LED turn signals. I added a seat hoop, fabricated a seat pan from a pizza box & an old street sign. I replaced the flat front tire with a vintage style tire as well as buying a gas tank on eBay. It was a fun build that will serve as a "shop prop" until I finish the mechanical side of the project.

Dude ! you really know fuck-all about bikes....eh ? A true Child-of The New Millenia . Dave NZ
Damn was just getting interested I wanted to see you start her up again nothing is more satisfying than taking a junk yard bike and building it back up so it can ride the streets again
Rule of thumb: always rebuild carbs when doing a project. It's a simple peace of mind that can save you from headaches later.
Especially when changing intake filter types...
Been nice to see it run
Will be interesting to follow this build. 78 XS650 Special was my first bigger street bike.
Youve got alot of faith. Buying an air filter before it even runs. Keep the old shocks
Good ol’ Japanese bikes will take so much neglect and rarely disappoint. I would have totally made sure it ran first.

😄Ya ever pull any repairs/maintenance/ on a a motorcycle, or ya just like to trash them?
How did the AirPods work, I have the same model bike , did u do any adjustments to the carbs?
Cool build!
Where'd you end up putting rhe batteries and electronics?
Been riding xs650 s for over 45 years he’s still got some work to do on this one ?? 😮
Ya it cleaned up nice. Too bad not running yet. What do you think it needs to get it running ?
You di a wonderful job on the bike. I have a 81 Yamaha xs400 that's in is wiring faze
Should be finished in January, in a heated garage
Good luck on your build
nice project , came out very nice !!! i like the patina that the motorcycle has !! good job , question where did you put all the electric part that come under the seat and the battery , thanks a lot !!!
So... it's a hipster window ornament now?
I know that air box is ugly but when I took mine off it was very hard to have it running like it should.
Me 2 bruh , I have the same model bike but when I switch to AirPods ran into problems with carbs
Yo, could you drop a link for the handlebars 🤙🏼
Looks ok, but does it even run?!?!?
Lots of money and time spent on a bike that doesn't yet run.
You gonna start another build since you sold this one?
where do you buy that tire?
Ahhh does it run?
Lol
Unfortunately not yet.
Anyone know where he got the headlight and grips from?
Hi, I got the headlight from Summit Racing I believe and the Vans grips off Amazon.
@@twopencemoto4759 thanks so much. You inspired me to build bikes!
Link for the amber headlight??

@@twopencemoto4759 thank you!!!
Its ass backwards to me. Spend all that cash and time and you dont even know the state of the motor? I guess if you have an open budget you can do that. Also try a 'Brat; or Scrambler style. Cafe Racers are over done.
He Bought it for $200. Regardless of the state of the engine, even if you have to rebuild the entire engine it’s still worth it.
not a fan of that look could build it way better
