StreetKORE Project: VLX Chopper

So back in July I teased at the idea of building some funky Euro style hybrid streetfighter thing out of this bike. That didn't happen. Neat idea in theory, but not practical. So I went completely the other direction. It's already got a bunch of rake, slam it, slim it down and just make a nice clean little chopper out of it.

XS650 StreetCHOPPER Update: New Tank

The original tank for the StreetCHOPPER ended up developing a large stress crack at the rear seam soon after installing it on the bike. After a number of tries to repair it, I gave up. Just sick of messing with it and not being able to rectify the problem. So it's been turned into a wall decoration for now. Which ultimately works for the better. recently I've been sketching up new ideas for a tank and this evening decided to put them into action.

The StreetCHOPPER is complete... For now. Here are some shots of the bike complete. I'm stoked to see it as a finished, running piece.  Spec list is below.

XS650 StreetCHOPPER Update.

It's getting close. Are you getting excited yet? I am. Although, When you put this sort of effort into a project. Along with the ups and downs that have followed it. I suppose there is some anxiety once you reach the final stages.

So here we are with the final bit of fab and wiring.

XS650 StreetCHOPPER Update

Getting that much closer to hitting the street. Little bit of bodywork and getting the final wiring sorted.

Welded up the front of the gas tank.

Started smoothing out the welds and wrinkles.

Finally made a battery box and relocated and cleaned up the wiring.

Installed the headlight.

And added the velocity stacks.

Coming together.

XS650 StreetCHOPPER Update

Finally got back to work on the StreetChopper today. It's all coming down to the details and finishes now. See if I can't have this thing done in time to run it at the Bike Bash in a couple weeks.

Chopped the fender mounts from the forks, de-seamed the casting line from the lower triple, panted the fork lowers and the wheel.

Some work that was done before moving the shop. The ugly as fuck trailer fender is binned. I honestly couldn't stand it. Buddy of mine gave me the idea of making something a bit more suited to the style of the bike. We spent an evening hammering and welding up some sort of a drag seat. It looks killer and fits the bike and your butt perfect.

More of a detail piece, but it is fast becoming a signature StreetKORE part. Glass brake fluid reservoir fitted to the rear master cylinder.
