    You have inspired me to make my "Special" special , but your bike should win a prize

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

    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!

    It’s a pretty smooth ride, I got one just like it. Please make more videos on this bike if there’s ever a chance you get✊🏼

    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.

  • @Burritosarebetterthantacos

    That build is amazing.

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

  • @walterfechter8080
    @walterfechter8080 Před 3 lety +1

    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!

  • @steenfuglsangjespersen8620

    Nice chopper👍

    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

    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!

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

    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 ...

    Just picked one of these up should I order a rawhide ignition I thought about getting one for my Harley sporty chop

      Hey Brandon, yes our H-D ignitions are very highly rated as well. Thanks!

  • @Redbanji
    @Redbanji Před 2 lety +1

    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!

    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.

    Will this bike maintain today's highway speeds?

    • @rawhidecycles
      @rawhidecycles  Před rokem

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

  • @OldBiker
    @OldBiker Před 2 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.
