    Hi!, if i upgrade the points on my xs with the one you show, what else needs to be changed for this to work ?

    Any chance you would be willing to do a detailed walkthrough video of this XS650?

    Will this work with the XS charge PMA?

    I just picked up an xs for a build project! Mine has the stock mag wheels but I love the look of these spoked ones. What are the rims you’re riding? Thanks!

    That's one crazy/cool little chop . Those 'cock-tail--shakers' are the longest I've ever seen . I have a nice 'clean' 73' tx650 cafe-bike . Very strong motors when they are set-up right . Dave NZ

    Will this bike maintain today's highway speeds?

    • @rawhidecycles
      @rawhidecycles Před rokem

      Yes, although a smaller rear sprocket would help a lot.

  • @walterfechter8080
    @walterfechter8080 Před 2 lety

    This is the cleanest-looking Yamaha XS 650 chopper that I have ever seen -- bar none! That bike runs great! I like the idea of parts being made in the USA! Thanks a lot for this informative and cool video. Ride safe!

  • @Burritosarebetterthantacos

    That build is amazing.

    Mmm mmm mmm she's a beauty I really miss mine, on another note what do you recommend for 1970 ironhead 900 kick only

    • @rawhidecycles
      @rawhidecycles Před rokem

      Hello Edmond, we make an electronic ignition for that bike as well and that is absolutely what we recommend.

    Had a xs 650 never got damm thing to run right spent loads on it got rid eventually. My mate took it to sell on, still has it! Now have a 78 Honda 550 chop project hope that goes better! I am in Scotland (far north)

  • @Redbanji
    @Redbanji Před 2 lety

    Do you need a battery or will it work with a PMA. system ?

    • @rawhidecycles
      @rawhidecycles Před rokem

      A PMA system is a "permanent magnet alternator", the same as a stock Honda twin from the same era. Most of these bikes with that setup have a battery as far as I know. We have not tried these with a capacitor setup, no battery, but I believe they will work as they only draw 2.5 volts. Your coil will still need 6V or 12V depending on the era of bike. The 6V inclusion is for early Harley owners. Thanks!

    That is one of the nicest XS chops I've ever seen!

  • @OldBiker
    @OldBiker Před 3 lety

    A bit too overpriced if you ask me, Lowbrow are selling the Rawhide single pickup setup for a staggering $289 but sell a Boyer micro power ignition system complete for $285, a no brainer really which one to choose.

    • @rawhidecycles
      @rawhidecycles Před rokem

      That $4 is really a deal breaker for a Made in USA ignition huh?

    • @OldBiker
      @OldBiker Před rokem

      @@rawhidecycles Perhaps you didn't understand, Rawhide pickup plate only $289, Boyer Micro system = Pickups, digital power box, coil, leads, plug caps and many other parts in the UK at a new price of $185.21, like I said, no brainer.

    You've done incredible work, incredible workmanship. Beautiful bike. I owned 2 650's. A 72 and an 80. Always regretted selling them.

    @ByronTexas Před 3 lety

    Great bike. Just some advice from a fan: keep the background music lower. It tends to drown out the reason we’re watching in the first place.

    Hello, good morning friend, my name is José and I am thinking of acquiring a yamaha xs 650, could you tell me how good or bad those engines are? The motorcycle in question is from 1982, what oil do you recommend for the motorcycle and if you recommend them as something durable? Greetings from Magdalena Jalisco Mexico ...

  • @alancoronado5167

  • @walterfechter8080
    @walterfechter8080 Před 3 lety

    Great product -- great bike! You ran a decent front brake too. I dig the axed H-D fatbob/teardrop style gas tank and the Anderson "jackhammer" bar grips! The fit and finish is top shelf! Keep up the great work!
