Customer Bike Spotlight: Adam and His Brother's XS650 & Triumph Choppers

Adam sent along a few kind words and some photos of his XS650 and his brother's Triumph. A nice pair of choppers!

"Just wanted to say how awesome your site is. I have bought a ton of stuff from your site and in person at bike shows, for my XS650 and every transaction has been great. This is the first bike I've ever built, and your parts and that great how to section have gotten me through quite a few jams. Anyway, here is my bike along with a shot of my brother's '67 Triumph who also has a Lowbrow Customs issue... (grin)

Mine is a 1982 XS650 Heritage Special with a custom drop seat hard tail. I've used your bung kits, seat mount & springs, seat, wiring, throttle, fender strut kit, and much more. It is nowhere near done but I am having a great time so far.

Thanks again, I am truly proud to be a Lowbrow Weirdo!"

Customer Bike Spotlight: Scott Witherspoon's '79 Yamaha XS650

I spotted Scott's Yamaha 1979 XS650 on xs650chopper.com, liking it immediately and then noticed that it had a David Bird hardtail on it (4" stretch, 2" drop looped style). I emailed him and asked for some pics and he sent these along. An excerpt about the bike from xs650chopper.com (original article here):

"Some main features of the bike are that it has a wassell style peanut tank, handmade fender made by my dad, previously mentioned David Bird hardtail from Lowbrow Customs, narrowed Biltwell bars, electrics box made from an ebay oil tank kit, 4 ½” bates style headlight, shaved and lowered front forks, pipes made by me, PMA swap and Pamco ignition."

Customer Bike Spotlight: Scott's Yamaha XS650 Chopper

Scott up in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada sent us some pics of his home-built Yamaha XS650 chopper and we thought we would share. I dig the mag wheel / tire combo, nice beefy look on an otherwise slender bike, nice work!
