Thank you very much for all the compliments, and for the critiques. It has taken 2 years to finish up the bike. There was a lot of arguing over decision making (length of tail section, angle, seat, paint) but I am very happy with the bike’s outcome. Thank you very much Chris for featuring it on bikeexif.com among such amazing builders and bikes.

P.S. This isn’t the last you will see from GoingsMoto, I (Chad) am currently working on a 70′ T100C, along with building two 08 exj 250r ninjas for my brother and I to learn how to race on.

Thank you all very much,

Chad and Bill

I can’t imagine how much labor and time it took to conceive and build this, but what a stunner! (I better get me another XS650 before the modders grab ‘em all up.)

Will the pipe drag? Yes. I like the seat angle because its the opposite of those stupid looking “Streefighter” seats. The rear loop is level with the ground, so for me it’s ok. Any lower and I’d be agreeing with you.

But I really like to look at it. Some bikes just bring it all together. The total is greater than the sum of its parts! That applies to this bike for sure.

Love the look and the detail, with a couple of exceptions: the tradeoff to hang the muffler under the frame in order to not hide the bike’s profile was unsuccessful both practically and visually, the drooping rear frame loop doesn’t work for me (it somehow seems bent, as if there was a very heavy passenger involved), and a small, ‘hugger’ rear fender would be so much more practical for actual riding, and may even improve the looks of the bike. Though I doubt the bike is ridden much, considering the muffler ground clearance is about half the front fork’s travel. Still, beautiful bike, well done.

I saw this bike a while ago and other than the stock rotors and calipers, I wouldn’t change a thing!

WOW!
