Jon's XS650 Part I

     Jon's had the itch to build an XS for a while now and he has got his hands on a '77. He wanted to build a lowered flat tracker on a budget, using many refurbished stock parts. A big contributor to the look he's after is the swing arm.
     I kept the design really simple for the swing arm, reusing the axle tensioners and pivot tube, I stretched it 4" from the base line. With that four inch stretch went the shock mounts resulting in a super low profile.  A few cases of beer and a couple of helping hands later he's got a great start to a custom bike. Check it out:

Instagram is wonderful.

I love this shot with the rising sun vibe to it.
