- This is a video of my 1981 Yamaha XS650 Bobber. Parts include a 2 under DNA Springer, 36mm Mikuni carb with homemade intake manifold, Wise Guys Weld on Hardtail with a 5 inch stretch and a 3 inch drop seat, 40 spoke wheels, 21" front, 16" rear with 200mm tire.
A poor man's Bonneville without all the mechanical problems. These engines will run forever if you maintain them and they're every bit as classic.
Not really one for bobbers per se' but your eye for style and proportion, is what sets this bike apart from all the rest. Simply stunning sir...well done.
That's one of the nicest bikes I've ever seen...and I'm 56. I've been itchin to have an xs650 bobber for a few years.
Well hurry up Adams time is ticking....
Gorgeous bike! This is pretty much exactly what I'd love to build one day :)
X%
me too, but I have to hurry up, I am still 66 lol
Nice toys.
I've always like the
Yamaha. So sweet
Gives me a tooth ache.
You did a killer job on this bike I love Yamaha bobbers
Loved the 70's 650's
Work of art!
Reminds me of my shovelhead. Clean build man
holy crap! the idle sounds real badass
Nice intake manifold and everything else too.
this is most probably the cleanest and nicest XS 650 bobber re-built i have ever seen, awesome !
Nice job.....I recall back in the 80s a buddy had an XS650....we traded bikes one day for less a half hour....me on his Yamaha and him on my chopped Norton 750 Commando.....after a few miles we traded back....each almost equally hating riding the other's bike....I would think that the hardtail conversion might solve a lot of the XS6550 frame issues...
EXCELLENT JOB. I HAVE AN 81 ALSO BUT LOOKS NOTHING LIKE THAT. SOUNDS ABOUT THE SAME THOUGH. VERY NICE JOB!
Sweetest 650 Bobber I've ever seen !!!!!!! Love It.......
Thank you, appreciate it!
NiceRides is this for sale? If so please PM
@@nicerides31 i'd love to get a few specs this bike. I mean, we can see pretty much everything but it would be nice to know specifics.
Beautyfull and everything else but i find hardtails as a waste of time and money because they're totally unridable for more than an hour, Chiropractors love'em ,,
It rides like it should. It stops nice without a front brake.
I used a Harley style 16X5.5 wheel, with a offset front sprocket so the chain clears the tire.
can you tell me the measurement between your axle plates?
SWEEET little scooter! 👊😎💨👍
Awesome build. Video has that grand mal seizure feel to it tho. If I had more than one tripod I'd give you one.
Im not a Bobber fan, But Damn this bike looks sweet as hell!!! And when you think of Bobbers and Choppers, You think of like...Harley Davidson or others that build big twins from the factory, But this being a Yamaha makes it that much more special and cool.... and Awsome! Great work, Great Build my friend!
How big is that cam, with as much lump as that cam has I'm surprised that a single 36 is big enough, beautiful build, love the intake....
Take a nice, well designed bike and turn it into something that doesn't handle and doesnt stop. Why not just buy a Harley?
I used a Gary Poh 1 inch. offset sprocket.
Nice. I just hope it was made from a basket case, and not from a restorable bike. Hey, it's yours to do with what you want, but my old XS was fun, dependable, and as safe as a motorcycle can get because it went, stopped, and handled like a good motorcycle should. It's a nice LOOKING custom. you have obviously put a lot of money and thought that work into that bike, however, if you wind up getting into half of the dicey situations that I did on my 650, and that were handled well because it was a normal bike, brother, I'm afraid you'll be living it very interesting times, if you manage to survive. What's the ground clearance on that thing? No front brake? I hope that works out well for you in the age of cell phones. Be careful bud. ✌️
is that the $375.00 kit , I just found and e mailed him to see if hes still selling them.
thanks for the quick reply.
your bike is very very clean one of the best builds ive seen.
Any info?
This is what I would love own or build one I have 2 xs650 engine need repair thosss so I can start building custom can't wait and love ur oooo nice
This thing is a dream...stock frame converted to hard tail? Or is it a completely stock frame? I’m new to the xs650s (v star guy myself) but I want to get one and do something similar to this. Love the position, springer front end, and just the overall bare-bones simplicity of it all 👌🏻 well done
Same here ride a royal star venture myself,seen some really clean 650s for sale for decent prices wondering if you could use the stock frame just modify it
Love Springer front end bobbers
This bike your 650 xs and your cb 750 are my two favorite bikes on u-tube thats if your the guy that has the 750 too!
Doesn't get much cleaner than that...... oh wow, I wasn't expecting it had electric starter 👍
Damn! Very very nice bike man. Are the engine covers chrome or just polished really good?
Sounds good
I bet in person it sounds badass but over ur phone it sounds like a big wheel for kids 😆😆
Hardtail welded on a too lower point on the top of the frame..
Hence, saddle is far too low!
Question: Where did you get that battery box cover? Did you make it?
That's one sick ride. What frame did you use?
You need to learn how to video. Hold the camera still. Cool bike.
Beautiful bike, where did you get the hardtail kit?
Beautiful bike. I had two of them and looking for a good used one to do that same thing to!!
It’s perfect!
That's a nice bike
Thank You!
Very nice
Very very classy. I love the carb under the seat.
nice scoot. Gives me some ideas. How do you like running the single carb? What size is it. I had a 66 Triumph, with a single Amal but changed to 2 carbs and performed much better. How's the Yamaha??
I like the single carb because it's easier to tune.
This Bike even the Fonz” would be proud of ...
you def out-fancied mine :0
81? didn't they end kickers in 79?
Where did you get the two into one intake manifold from?
What ass end did you use to get 200mm tyre ...?..
thats fuckin beautiful ,top job mr
NiceRides strange question, but can you tell me how tall you are? Looking to drop and stretch mine out but not sure how far i need to go with my height. Thanks
I'm 6ft tall.
Great job, Man! Geometry of the bike looks perfect!
where did you get the electric starter for that?
One of the cleanest beauties I have seen. Cheers.
Bonita pero antifuncional los escapes te pueden quemar las piernas y el asiento es una cuchilla abría que ver que otros defectos tiene
I wish i had the slightest inclination on how to do this , i have a xvs 1100 bobbed out but i bought it , what would this bike sell for ?
Click my pic and view my channel to see my vlx 600 and my xvs but i sure as shit would add yours to my collection lol
I LOVE THE SOUND WOW MMMMMMMMM😎😎😎😎😎
Nice looking bike!!! Is that a Harley Springer? And is that the original frame ? Sounds great too.
I love it! I've been kicking around the idea of building one, do care to tell me how much money you have wrapped up in it?
Easily $1.5K+.
What springer front end did you use? And was it standard length? Looks like a Moto Iron. Just want to confirm.
It's cool!!
Damn.... I really want this Bike man lol! Seriously!! Or to build one myself. Is the Sub frame Custom built or were you able to work with what it was and just slap a seat on there with springs going into there custom spring holes??
now that's the proper way to do a bobber
Clean af...
thats a beautiful bike. the wide rear is just bad as ass... that springer sets it off bro. getting ready to take on a 78' 650 myself.. this video is the perfect inspiration to get the fire going..
Nice Bike and a Thumbs Up Liked for you.
What kind of rear rim you use ?
Top drawer ..exceptional...all of the individual styling elements are in perfect balance..simple...neat and unique.
stretch that thing 6in. and its perfect. Nice bike. It just looks a little small.
very nice bike. beautiful
Would have been a good video. But the person videoing it for go to take their morning tipple, to get rid of their alcoholic shakes!
I like your hand made intake manifold and where the carburetor is located.
It looks like you could have a little ram induction going on there. Probably
not, but there isn’t anything wrong with wishful thinking. Your bike is very
nice, clean lines and nothing that isn’t needed.
God I had fat rear wheels.
Their fun little BIKES I had 2 at one time. Ovcorse I regret it now
Im intrigued by your air intake and carb set up. What frame? Custom made?
ive liked that intake since ive 1st seen it can u give sum info on it like what intake boots u have what size pf intake pipe is it steel or what??
Nice work the springer front end was a excellent addition to complete the build.
I have owned 2 ...one similar...and I follow them as a huge fan...and that my friends is one of the sweetest builds I have ever seen..BRAVO DUDE!!!!!...(can you build me one????....lol)
Nice job! My Dad is nuts over 650's and it is starting to rub off on me. Love the manifold on the intake. Makes a lot of sense to me as I hear balancing the carbs can be a bear.
OMG she's soooo pretty!
at least more than 10k for this bike
Where did you get that intake? I got one from Joe Wiseguy but really want one like yours.
That's a nice ass bike
That's a chopper.
You still have it? I want it if we can figure out a price. Message me. Tx
Very, very cool!
where can one come across a springer front end? a buddy of mine is building one
like this frame
@Nicerides ? Just curious 👌
love it....
What wuld u charge to make an intake like that for me??
so for the carb is it the same as if you would have all for of them???? because i might just do that
No, It's a 36mm Mikuni.
thanks
I love that bike. I feel that this particular build was what Heist was attempting to adopt & modify.
Nice way to fill the void under the seat!
Pretty slick just sounds like a two timed engine!
Hot bike!!
I love that springer set up it's just sick
That’s a really cool intake and a good looking bike
Well done :) I would have loved to see the rear stretched another 6 inches....;))))
