Thanks weaselbeak. They are very inexpensive 12" Shorty Megaphone Mufflers that come with removable baffles which easily fit the stock head pipes. You can get them almost anywhere, including mikesxs.net I sold my xs bobber about four months ago, alas.
Thanks, Mike, but you know how it is. Only way to really appreciate another's ride is on one knee, with a brew in your hand, as the owner talks your ear off.
adudefromhouston haha hell yeah! Got a brew in my hand right now! haha, yeah man nice bike the tank is sick and those forward foot pegs look sick, you should get someone to film you riding it away! that would be dope...oh wait you sold it already right?
The lines of the bike flow quite nicely it shows you put a lot of thought into it. Smoothest running bike 650 I have heard in a long time also - Bravo 👏
This tank is custom made, with the sides pounded in. There are people who can make them and perhaps by now even a manufacturer has come up with a mass produced one, but if so I'm not aware of it.
I live in New York and the one I have has a title. Am I able to register at once all the work is done and hardtail or do I have to get a different type of title since it's custom?
Joe Quesada That’s a dished “peanut” tank, hand pounded into shape. You need someone with real talent to make a good one, but off the top of my head, I don’t have a source. Besides, these days you can buy a mass produced one cheap. See: www.lowbrowcustoms.com/dished-frisco-peanut-gas-tank-2-2-gal.html

nicely done Bobber, gave me some ideas for my project. Those megaphone slip-ons sure sound nice, love the dished tank and the drag bars. Great job!
Beautiful set up mate, thanks for sharing. Cheers from Australia!
I sold this bike over a year ago so I'm not driving her anymore. Carbs are original Mikuni Flatsides. Thanks for the kudos.
That tank is amazing! beautiful bike mate.
GoreBag Le Mort, thanks!
Awesome l!+ The best xs65o for a long time. I my copy one or two things from you.....
sharp bike, love it
Nice bike man
That looks identical to an xs650 I was going to buy in Austin a few months ago
sweet motor smooth real smooth

Nice video, would of wished you filmed everything slower so we could appreciate the work you did, great bike

Mikephotography88 Yep, sold off a long time back. No regrets. My old back just doesn't appreciate a hard tail on the screwed up Houston streets.

Might be the same one. I sold it to an Austinite.
What carbs do you have on there! Nice job on the upper motor mount?
very clean I like it. are you running baffles? if so what kind? mine has straight pipe and is a bit too loud.
Yeah, keep the stock baffles in them.
are you gonna drive it or what?
I am looking to get this tank for a build. Who makes this tank? Where can I get one?
This tank is custom made, with the sides pounded in. There are people who can make them and perhaps by now even a manufacturer has come up with a mass produced one, but if so I'm not aware of it.
That is called a "Frisco" tank I like em!
I live in New York and the one I have has a title. Am I able to register at once all the work is done and hardtail or do I have to get a different type of title since it's custom?
If you maintain the stock neck with serial#, you should have no problem with the existing title. At least not in Texas. No idea about NY rules.
Greg LeRoy awesome. thankyou!
nais handlebars. whatsit called and where to get it?
Can’t remember where I got them and the risers - believe it was a swap meet.
What is that hose on gas tank for?
+Yao Guai It is a sight gauge to let you know how much gas is left in the gas tank.
Greg LeRoy Thank you so much man, it was messing with me on levels I hope you never understand.
where did you get your tank?
