This is a Yamaha XS650 that is completely different from not only all other XS's but Choppers in genral. We took this bike to a show this last summer 2010 and it was pretty much just rolling and we got amazing feed back. We have been told this bike is a inspirational to other bike builders out there and they are super happy with all the creativity in this build.
The Hooligan is raked out about 40 degrees for that low clean look. It has Elswick Cycles Drop Seat Hardtail stretched 4''. Stock forks, stock 18'' rear spoke wheel as well as the front 19'', Motor is stock bore with some little odds and in you will notice like ( The Panda cut out of the side case, The Magneto cover is made out of silver plated antique platter, suicide shifter, white sportster kicker, painted black, and polished fins) we tried to make this bike unique and one of its own, mustang gas tank with spider web copper welded to the tank, pre rusted paint on the tank to look like a old flat track/salt drag bike, pin stripping done by Robbo here local in Vancouver WA, raw frame, vintage white grips, and much more. The more you stare at this piece of art the more you notice. The bike is still not finished but but we will keep you updated. Thanks so much for taking the time to read Rock-A-Billy ChopperS.
