XS 650 hardtail frame....

[Blackjack]

This is a bit odd, but stay with me.

I need to convert a stock XS 650 frame into a hardtail. The snag is I don't have one.

So if you have one and you want it hardtailed.....

Basically you bring it to me, (I've already got a motor, forks and wheels so all I need you to bring / send me is the frame AND THE SWINGING ARM as long as yours is a disc rear), about two, three weeks later you come and get it and give me £100 to cover the materials.

Isn't that exciting.

You won't get any footrests with it, you won't get an electrics box or a mudguard either. Your standard fuel tank won't fit any more either and you'll need a seat.

Unsuprisingly, all that is do-able, but it's going to be dearer though if you've got a Sporty or Mustang tank to fling on there, then I expect I can mount that for you.

If you want a 180 tyre in the back of it, that's an entirely different conversation, I'm talking about hardtailing a stock frame to take the stock wheels, and I'm not talking about raking it either!

Oh. If your's is a drum rear brake, I'll need your wheel too.

With a bloody tyre on it! :eek:

Try poking Yambabe on BikersWeb or www.netbiker.co.uk

Think her old man may have a frame - or maybe its just the complete bike. Still, could be worth a try.

Yer,

That's a shaft drive that is. Might take a bit longer than a day to do 'ee....

I believe that various Virago wheels can be persuaded to work with the bevel box though, if you like a fatter one in the rear. So to speak..... :eek:

[devon-tony]

cool cheers for that info, will do something with it one day

the engine is perfect in that bike, but rear shcoks are screwed, seat is knackered

might even trike the thing :)

how the hell can you forget you have got a bike LOL
