    Considering most of the SWOXS group is over 45 and spend more time talking about our ailments than our accomplishments.....don't let it go to your head to quickly....lol
    Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

            i'll take some pictures of the frame and 650s hopefully this weekend. The guy i got the xs11 from said he got the rigid frame from here too. I was just playing when i said grumpy. You will learn to ignore most of what i say. I'm just a goof

                      It looks like the fork lower tubes are on backwards. I think it needs to be raked too. That's a good start to a chopper.

                        thats not the forks i will use. He juist put those on to have it rolling. I think I'll build a bobber or cafe out of the xs11 and a chopper out of the 650

                            Yep. An early engine. That compression release was only on the '72 XS-2 and the '73 TX650. They love cutting those bikes up over at XS650.com.

                              It's a 72. Is that a bad thing?
