I know it kind of fits in the "other bike" forum, but you need to check this out.

XS750 hardtail

[Parr8hed]

every time that I see an xs 1100 engine for sale on ebay I think that I am going to go buy it and go OCC on a frame. I would love to biuld something like that. It would have to be a 2nd bike though. Looks uncomfortable as hell.

I like hardtail choppers, but I'm not so big on the extreme front end. Still, it's pretty impressive. I like the black one better, though.

Looks cool, but my tired old bones just cringe at the though of a hardtail bike. Maybe if you just ride in onto the trailer it is not so bad!

XS bikes are SUPER popular with the chopper building crowd. Please don't mention OCC or any of the other designer bikes out there- with rare exception, most guys building choppers have very little respect for those guys, ESPECIALLY the OCC guys, which are basically component bikes that they hang custom pieces on- you don't see OCC building frames, do you?

I am building a '75 Z1 900 chopper right now- and it is not hard tailed. It doesn't have to be hard tailed to be a chopper! Just custom built LOL

I have started a small fabrication shop, that does all kinds of custom work locally (so, unless you want shipping to alaska and back, I only do local work, so this is not an advertisement LOL)- but right now, it seems bikes is all I have since fuel prices went through the roof.

Here is a thread to my other bikes and my recent "scores" LOL

I have a XS 1100 that will be undergoing the trike conversion as soon as the snow flies. I have a possible buyer, and if he comes through, he will get the deal of the century for a custom bike LOL- since he is not only a friend but allowing me to use him as a test subject on trikes LOL
