Building a Custom 1978 Yamaha XS650 Chopper! Part 1

[@hectorvelandia3782]

I'm doing almost the same with a XT600E, so i got a Grizzly 600 intake manifold $25 is a 2 in to 1 aluminiun to install a Mikuni 42 flat carburetor. Easy, simple, plud & play.

Everything about this is "Dope " What's really cool is that you are up front about using simple tools that most people can source and some imagination to complete the task! As time and funds increase then later comes the equipment upgrades. Just an "old" guy who works out of his garrage watching (2) younger guys making stuff happen! Cheers . Guy Speight

I had a 1978 XS650 Special, good motorcycle. Sold it after getting a 1980 Sportster. Nice to see you guys building one.

Put a two into 1 exhaust on to maximize benefits of 1 into 2 intake 👍

[@hardtailgarage6938]

Awesome we love Triumphs! We plan on picking one up here soon for the channel!

[@emberleighmitchell6748]

I have searched for an XS650, along with other older Metrics. They're not easy to find here local. Especially after junk prices went stupid a few years ago. Used to see old Bikes nobody wanted everywhere behind sheds and garages.

@@hardtailgarage6938 ok thanks for the quick reply I subbed yesterday. I'm doing the same thing but motor is Kawasaki 750 twin. I'm sitting beside it right now about to put a 190 main in after trying 170 and bogging out.

[@hardtailgarage6938]

For sure are you running air pods and aftermarket exhaust?

[@longdong3889]

@@hardtailgarage6938 I've got a homemade 2 into 1 pipe with a cocktail shaker and I'm going to stick a v stack on there like yours but shorter. I like the way yours is coming along and excited to see it rolling down the street!
