We’ve got lots of friends and visitors into these xs650 chops. This is a pic sent in by RL of his buddy Justin hard at work n his hardtail xs650. According to the info we received, this one is supposed to end up something like an ultra vintage chop. Custom Tank, hardtail, 18″ rear, etc. Keep us all posted. – Speed Club Chopper Blog.

I met Doug about a year or more ago. I picked up a titled ’73 xs650 frame and motor from him via good old eBay for the low – low price of $100. We drove from Minneapolis, all the way out to Oak Grove to make the deal. Doug rolled this monster out of his garage while we were there. Talk about one fine piece of work. 19″ front and 18″ aluminum rear off an old dirt bike. Perfectly used Wassell tank, dual Miki carbs, bates seat, and he finished it off with one of those hard-to-find bicycle style kickers. Call it a Dirt Tracker or call it a bobber, this thing was the bike that got me turned on to xs650 chops. I actually saw this bike on ebay about 6+ months ago. Wonder if anyone ever picked it up? Doug – you rock. Midwest Moto Culture. Great job. Pleasure to add to the chopper blog.
