  • I sold my XS650 Chopper. This video is a tribute to a very fun bike I built that I had some great memories with. Come hang out as I give a backstory on the bike, some of its adventures, and what parts I used on the build all while we go for a ride! Enjoy!
    Basic details of the bike are:
    1981 XS650
    Stock wheels
    Avon speedmaster front tire 2.75 x 19
    AM7 Safety mileage rear tire 5.0 x 16
    Rebuilt engine

    Hughs Handbuilt PMA/reg/rec/capacitor - www.hughshandb...
    Lowbrow Customs Stingray 4 3/4 fender - www.lowbrowcus...
    There are hundreds of small parts but the main items are enough here.

      It was actually really interesting making the video as I always felt like I never did anything with it but then had tons of fun clips and photos from cool shows, events, hanging with friends, etc.

    A bitter-sweet moment for you, man but you know it was the right thing to do! Going to someone who'll ride it and giving you more time to work on other projects...or to buy more projects! 🤣
    Great video as alway, fella! Keep it up! 🍻🤘💜

    • @BrickHouseBuilds

      New owner is riding it a bunch which is exactly what I was hoping for! Definitely bittersweet but I know it was the right move so I can focus on other projects. As you know I have plenty 😉

      I don't think that KZ750 will ever be sold but if for some reason I did you would definitely hear about it.
