[@kdsowen2882]

Mikuni's really bring out the potential of big-bore kits.. Awsome job (on lockdown in NZ, covid19)

[@racketyjack7621]

Gotta say that is a nice looking ride man. It looks and sounds really nice. I had a 650 special II back in '82 and loved that bike. More than big enough to travel from Seattle to Tucson and back. Now that I am nearing retirement would love to do a build like this for around town. Again, well done.

[@johncooper7242]

beautiful build !...Insanely low idle , a testament to the engine build ,timing and carb setup

[@williamknutson6163]

Love the way you cleaned up the rear end I'm just customizing mine and will do the same, thanks...

[@tomyork6311]

Beautiful bike!

[@frankmlchaelglasscock6539]

One cool looking bike that is for sure

[@janquequin9928]

Hey nielsean, to me it is worth it 🏍 The bike runs totally different versus the 750cc. Plenty power overall the rpm. Especially from lower regions up. Regards Jan

[@weeverob]

Gorgeous!

[@213dwb]

killer scoot man

[@ColKlink-yh1ro]

Nice bike .

[@SmokingTrees]

NICE bike

[@violence30]

Fantastic looking bike! What is the front end? Harley wide? Like that fat front tire look.

[@hannahmcinerney1440]

hey man, what shocks are they on the back? i have progressives made for a harley on mine but they are a bit fat and hit the chain

[@janquequin9928]

Yes it is. You have to install the power Magneto kit.

[@Hitndahedfredify]

I a running the PowerDynamo kit I got from Hoos Racing.I love this,, crank fired ignition and timing.. No battery here either and usually a 1 kick start.

[@stgesha]

Beautiful bike! What front end is that?

[@Giggadygoo]

can you tell me where you got triple trees from they complete the look

[@janquequin9928]

Handcrafted T with standard xs forks

[@t.h210]

Could you please let us know where you got the triple clamps for the wide front tire? And what front wheel setup you have? Beautiful bike!

[@donebysunday4646]

I've put more than 70 XS650s back on the road, had a Kenny Roberts replica put together by Shell Tuet and a shop in Ohio, Champion frame etc. scared the H E LL out of me. I just can't listen to your bike enough times to satisfy me and looking at it, it's just eye candy. The 650 Societies founder Jim Griner awarded me with a plaque, Certified XS650 NUT. I can't get enough of this bike. Is it for sale ? Would $18000 buy it ? Thanks for sharing DonebySunday

[@Burritosarebetterthantacos]

Wanna build another?

[@janquequin9928]

Hagon shocks on the back

[@ColKlink-yh1ro]

Longhorn Z bars and a hwy. foot rest "crash" bar ?

[@ferdgebert489]

right cyl running cooler than the left... check carb tuning !

[@Minyak_angin324]

Use drive belt guys!

[@ericdeleonlalicmd4624]

no batteries????? is it possible???

[@michaelsmith1094]

Jan, not trying to sound nosy, but how much did it cost you to have your bike bored out? Part vs. Labor? Or how many shop hours were involved. I was thinking about picking up a classic 650 and if it seemed under powered I was curious as to how much it might be to get some more mussel even if I just intend it for a cruiser so I could keep up with my sons electra gluide.

[@janquequin9928]

Hi Michael First Thx for viewing my bike. 😁 The complete engine maken over to 750cc cost around 3000€ of you have a donor engine. This includes the complete 750 piston and cylinder kit. Two Dell orto carbs and a total refurbished engine cranck and gearbox. This engine will kill any electra in a sprint 😁😁😁 The dutch xs goeroe "heiden tuning" did the job for me

[@Denis-bo8ms]

I had a local engine shop bore out/hone my engine to 706cc for 160$, new pistons/rings for 135$ shipped from Japan. Engine dissasembly and assembly mostly my myself with a friend. New gasket kit about 100$

[@ceesklumper]

@@Denis-bo8ms yes, if you can do the work yourself you do save a bundle

[@janquequin9928]

Thx. Engine is now upgraded to 880cc Thx to Jerry "heiden tuning "

[@NielseanVstheWorld]

is the 880 worth it? are you having any problems so far?

[@dannyb20vtec28]

Is it rephased?

[@UMK3HumanSmokeUMK3]

Nice bike bro. How did you bend the seat rails? Thanks

[@janquequin9928]

nick tade I bendes them with a tube pump similar the one the plumbers use, Now I changed the engine to 880cc

[@UMK3HumanSmokeUMK3]

Did you have to cut and relocate the shock mounts? Or did you you just cut the top tubes bend them and just reweld? Thanks if you have a write up on the process that would be great thanks a lot

[@janquequin9928]

nick tade do Yo have Messenger?

[@UMK3HumanSmokeUMK3]

Jan Quequin wich messenger. Like the one for Facebook?

[@janquequin9928]

Not rephased 880 cc from heiden tuning

[@jereminked1372]

[@janquequin9928]

[@bigred8438]

If this is the bike l saw drag racing against CBX honda, it is running too lean.

[@janquequin9928]

Yes it is, did some adjustments after
