It's a bobbed XS650, Chopper Rick.....

You can still view it at www.ebay.com just type in "200000200232" on the eBay Search line. It's SWEET!

Man, that is one Sweet looking bike. With the metal flaking in there, it's a throw back to the 60s. Thanks for the link Brother.

My pleasure, Chopper Rick! I've seen some pretty cool XS650 choppers & bobbers, but this one is without a doubt the best one I've seen :wink: LOTS of nice, trick touches.....

That bike was one of four finalists that completed the Chopper Underground build off. The deal was take a donor bike and spend no more than $1000 changing it, and within three months.

Seems to me had he posted some of those E-Bay pics he might have closed that narrow 6 vote gap that he lost by, knowing now what I didn't know then I'd have changed my vote!

They did all of that in under 3 months & kept expenses under a grand ? I'm even more impressed with it now. Hands down, that's the sweetest XS650 I've ever seen......

Yep, the four finishers are dedicated builders with their own shops...some do it for a living part time and others as a hobby. Here's the guy's site that did the XS

Thanx again, Shack.....

I'd checked out their link either thru Craig's List or eBay (can't remember which) & they've definitely got a good gig going. :wink:
