Monstercraftsman Brat Kit Install xs650

Installation instructions on a Brat Kit for the Yamaha xs650 from Monstercraftsman.com

[@raymondparsons610]

First thing, in response to the comment of not cutting up a classic. Did you miss the part about it being a basket case !? It could have been scrapped ! But instead, has a new life and is running on !

[@Radford119]

I just ordered mine today, can't wait to get it. Great work!

[@bin1skid]

thats killer, i was so set on doing a hard tail until i seen this brat kit, nice kit

[@148luke]

Ordered one today! Can't wait to get it!

[@fortinp]

Nice kit, makes for a good looking and still functional bike. I wonder if the suspension gets much softer since the shocks are leaned forward so much compared to the stock ones. Note.: It wouldn't hurt to cover the carburetors ports on the motor before grinding metal around it. These guys might be planing on rebuilding the motor later so it would not mater if some grits get inside, but if you plan on running the engine after the kit install, cap those ports.

Awesome video!!

[@Avatheskibidiaplphadog]

That was a great video guys

[@gunnyhartman2]

Looks great!...

[@TheTonyjara]

After this kit install.....are you still able to use the stock tank?

[@anthonyspadaro7731]

Any chance of making one for an SR500 or KZ 400/440 since they are so cheap and available compared to an XS650

[@XS65080]

What kind of gas tank is that? I love the way it sits.

[@SmokingTrees]

Do y'all make a kit for moving the seat back for taller people?

[@ulfmusskacken]

how did you aline it? Maybe I missed that part but as far as I can see you just put it on :o

[@babyeater026]

[@miniz8344]

Is it usable on the Yamaha xj650 maxim

[@StreetBob-tn1ed]

[@tyrssen1]

Hmmm ... I wonder if this could be adapted to a 1981 Honda 450 Twin frame.

[@charliegutierrez8728]

What other bikes would this fit?

[@skweak976]

[@Leiberg101]

Any chance you make these for the XS 400 aswell?? Or can it be modified to fit? Because this is EXACTLY what i wanna do to my bike :)

[@randylucky]

Nice! What about other model bikes?

[@The_McPorkchop]

Need to make one that stretches the bike 6 inches. These are way too small

[@lomasnuebo]

[@utahbones3094]

The website doesn’t offer the brat kit.

[@williamknutson6163]

Jeez dude wear a face guard with that grinder... I have a scarred chin from a broken disc flying in my face...

[@williammorrison2158]

I love it but can't find one anywhere.

[@jjrock5]

I have a brand new one for sale.

[@williammorrison2158]

Ready to sell?

[@TheTonyjara]

Where have you placed the battery?

[@cantyswell]

Fit a PMA and capacitor and run without a battery Dude

[@TheTonyjara]

What is a PMA and Capacitor?

[@cantyswell]

A permanent magnet alternator: hughshandbuilt.blogspot.co.uk/p/xs650-permanent-magnet-alternator.html Capacitor: www.tcbroschoppers.com/battery-eliminator-capacitor-kit-for-xs650-pma.html Have a read up. Fitting PMA and capacitor you can go batteryless

[@KOPP6650]

Anyone know the song that starts up at 4:25?

[@gellum]

If It was me I'd put a cover on that other bike while grinding and cutting so close with a grinder.

[@sammoon2906]

Any chance you guys will stop doing this to XS650s? Watching you cut up that frame and make it into a Captain America wannabe was painful to my soul. Why not use NEW Bonnevilles or Sportsters instead of a classic XS650???????????????

[@johnchristianfraser]

Go Takamine is Japanese. His first shop is in Tokyo. He later moved to LA to open a second one. Most of his classic Brat Style XS650s were built in Tokyo.

[@sammoon2906]

Christian Fraser fair enough. it's still ugly

[@markman63]

There is a million xs650s out there, most of them land in the crusher anyways. If it were a valuable collectible then the prices would be accordingly, but they are not.

[@ronburacker8016]

A lock washer, a nylock nut and loctite; take the craftsman out of your name

[@diegoribba]

that's not brat style. if anything that's bomber

[@MrLewisFloydHenry]

Where is the hot Rock N' Roll chick supposed to sit?

[@scottaero]

stop using split washers!!!! it's a bad practice

[@bigwu100]

I don't like it.
