Rebuild to Bobber/ brat style. Engine rebuild by heiden tuning PMA Magneto ignition. Big bore 750cc with Dell orto carb's. Custom works doen by " gunnars house of custom"
Gotta say that is a nice looking ride man. It looks and sounds really nice. I had a 650 special II back in '82 and loved that bike. More than big enough to travel from Seattle to Tucson and back. Now that I am nearing retirement would love to do a build like this for around town. Again, well done.
Hey nielsean, to me it is worth it 🏍 The bike runs totally different versus the 750cc. Plenty power overall the rpm. Especially from lower regions up. Regards Jan
I've put more than 70 XS650s back on the road, had a Kenny Roberts replica put together by Shell Tuet and a shop in Ohio, Champion frame etc. scared the H E LL out of me. I just can't listen to your bike enough times to satisfy me and looking at it, it's just eye candy. The 650 Societies founder Jim Griner awarded me with a plaque, Certified XS650 NUT. I can't get enough of this bike. Is it for sale ? Would $18000 buy it ? Thanks for sharing DonebySunday
I a running the PowerDynamo kit I got from Hoos Racing.I love this,, crank fired ignition and timing.. No battery here either and usually a 1 kick start.
Did you have to cut and relocate the shock mounts? Or did you you just cut the top tubes bend them and just reweld? Thanks if you have a write up on the process that would be great thanks a lot
Jan, not trying to sound nosy, but how much did it cost you to have your bike bored out? Part vs. Labor? Or how many shop hours were involved. I was thinking about picking up a classic 650 and if it seemed under powered I was curious as to how much it might be to get some more mussel even if I just intend it for a cruiser so I could keep up with my sons electra gluide.
Hi Michael First Thx for viewing my bike. 😁 The complete engine maken over to 750cc cost around 3000€ of you have a donor engine. This includes the complete 750 piston and cylinder kit. Two Dell orto carbs and a total refurbished engine cranck and gearbox. This engine will kill any electra in a sprint 😁😁😁 The dutch xs goeroe "heiden tuning" did the job for me
I had a local engine shop bore out/hone my engine to 706cc for 160$, new pistons/rings for 135$ shipped from Japan. Engine dissasembly and assembly mostly my myself with a friend. New gasket kit about 100$
Mikuni's really bring out the potential of big-bore kits.. Awsome job (on lockdown in NZ, covid19)
