Here's my 1981 Special. I got it in the middle of November and was this winters project. I bought this bike for $400 on Craigslist and have just about $1100 total including the price of the bike.

Thanks and enjoy.

Here are some pics of the latest version of my bike. CBR 600 rear shock, huge improvement in ride quality. 5 in.extended swing arm, new rear frame section lowered a few inches. Internal wired turn signal switches. Sporty tank, custom seat, pie cut 1 3/4 pipes. They are really loud but sound very clean. Magura master cylinder, performance rotor from Mikes XS.

Bloody Knuckles.

Hi, Here is my 1978 XS 650 Special. I picked this bike up on New Years day 2008, for 200 bucks. It was sitting in some dudes yard under a foot of snow.  I brought it home to my at the time unheated garage and starting cutting off tabs and cleaning it up. After a temporary move and another permanent move I still found time to work on the bike.

This is a 1981 Yamaha SR250 single.  Stretched 6 inches.  This is my first attempt at building a chopper, and is practice before I start on my 1979 XS650.  I'll update the photo when the paint is complete. I would also like any information about the SR250 engine ability to accept a kicker.  There is a plug in the right side case labeled "kick start" which leads me to believe that the motor must have been used on an enduro or something.  If you have any ideas e-mail me:  This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
