XS650 Street CHOPPER Update

In a bitter sweet turn of events the Street CHOPPER is getting finished. Unfortunatley  it's heading out the door to it's new owner very shortly. Someone made an offer I couldn't refuse and it's been an all out thrash session getting her together over the past week.

Started with a +3 up +3 out Big Twin Rigid frame. Hacked all the motor mounts out and retro fitted new ones to hold an XS650 lump. The HD style neck was cut out and replaced with one sized for the R1 front end. While I was at it the rake was brought in for more respectable handling.  From 38* now at 27* and also brought the frame in 1". Rear wheel is from a ZX7. Tank is an unknown 70's era dirtbike tank that's been modified.

Still a bit of fit and finish to do, but it's gona fire up for the first time tomorrow. Get some video of it when it finally breaths fire. 

Game On

Acquired a new toy for the shop the other day. Totally stoked. Now we can get down to some serious business. Big THANKS to Chris@Pain Inc. for the killer hook up. He's been a serious supporter and contributor to getting things rolling for StreetKORE over the years. Can't thank him enough.

New tooling is on order and there's a bunch of prototyping to get turning. Stay tuned for some killer new parts from StreetKORE in the very near future.

Saturday Night Specials

The Cafe edition.

First up. The latest from RAD Ducati. Absolutely love their bikes, and really dig'n the styling on this one.

Unsure of the builder, but it's based on a Suzuki Goose 250. Gorgeous work. 

Kraus Motor Co. newest build. Another stunning example of thinking outside the box, while mixing old and new design. Shovelhead motor, Fox Air adjust shocks all around. Aluminum bodywork, Brass plated frame!?, and stainless steel accents. Beautiful.

XS650 5/8" Offset Sprocket

They say necessity is the mother of invention. I needed an offset sprocket for the StreetCHOPPER in order to line up the chain with the 5.5" rear wheel.  For all you XS650 nuts that want to run wide tires and don't feel like messing with jack shafts. StreetKORE has your solution.This 5/8" offset sprocket allows the use of modern wheel sizes up to 6" wide. It fits under the stock cover and is available in a range from 15-18T in a 530 pitch. If interested, leave a comment or email me and I can fit one up on a made to order basis.
