Very cool job Randy!! <img height="20" src="http://www.ezboard.com/image/posticons/pi_cooldude.gif" width="20" alt="image"><p><br></p>

Looks cool Randy,<br>but that seat can't be comforatable for long, needs a little padding. Other than that looks badass.<br>Pete

<strong>Rock on! My buddy Harold Dear (old RLOL member) built an XS650 bobber. It's a very cool trend. <br><br>Very cool bike and nicely executed. Nice job Randy I love it!</strong>

Way Cool! Love the vintage bike and old school custom work. Now THAT's how it used to be done!! Not point and pick out of a catalog and write acheck.... <br> Hey! Toss your loose original stuff on ebay, like those gauges.. might cover some of the cost!!

I love the minimalist look! And like Jay, it's such a nice departure from point-and-order stuff. I did get lost between picture #1 and picture #2. Ican't tell what was done to go from softtail to semi-hardtail.

(no bounce!) <img src="http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/sick.gif" alt="image"><br>Nice job Randy. My first bike was a 1972 XS650's like Harolds.<br>Thanks for sharing the pics.<br>Tim

Doh. I think I get it now, thanks, Tim. I didn't realise he swapped out the entire rear. I really do like that style!

That is badazz! Nice job!
