Swung by Minneapolis yesterday to visit Eric and to take a look at his XS650 bar hopper. It’s definitely a build in progress and it looks like we’re going to be taking it in at the Speed Club Garage for the next few weeks. There are all sorts of odds and ends to button up but in the end we’ll be looking at one slick little bobber. He’s already set up his 100% CUSTOM FABRICATED hardtail frame including an FX front end w/ 21″ whitewalls and Harley 16″ spoke rear wheel w/ hydro banana caliper. I dont know the neck rake but the thing looks fast just sitting on the kick stand. Not many pics yet but we’ll definitely get some posted as the project progresses. Maybe we’ll snag a little video too? Check back often for more from the Speed Club Garage on the chopper blog.

Yes – and here they are. Mounted and guaranteed to add approximately 3+HP to any moving vehicle. Hell, I think the chopper blog is actually loading faster today too!

So here’s the Rusty Chop about 3 hours into assembly. I was in charge of snapping photos and drinking his beers. I think I did a damn god job myself. The Rusty Chop looks good too. It’s a ’79 xs650 with a kansas customs hardtail, maxis whhitewalls, my custom chopper wiring, and a sporty tank. Unseen is a set of custom made shorty pipes and a prettt heavy duty rear fender. Those whitewalls add just the right touch of bling to this rusty rocket. Check back daily. More chopper blog to come.

The frame and tires are ready to go! This is what I call a good start. xs650 choppers and bobbers are definitely one of the easiest and most economic builds around. Granted, you can certainly turn them into a $4k hole in your wallet but at that price, why not rebuild some obscure BSA hill climber or something? This thing will be ripping through Minneapolis by the end of the week for sure. We’ll pst some more updates t the chopper blog this week.

Shit yeah somebody ordered whitewalls! HOWEVER… If there’s one thing I hate, its wrestling around on the ground with a bunch of tire spoons and WD-40 trying to pretend like its worth saving the money to do it myself. Yup… I’m takin ’em over to Blue Cat. These are gonna end up on Rusty’s xs650 chopper. That means his old tires will be up on the forum soon enough. Chopper blog will keep you posted.
