the flat trackers build has begun

[Jockney Rebel]

not strictly a fighter but hey fuck it
Take one seemingly innocent XS650 of 1978 vintage and moderate power
strip it of all the unneccesary shite paint it vivid yellow and hit the road ..loudly ..
so far weve just stripped all the stuff off thats either not required or doesnt work ..and found a few surprises along the way like the wiring looms been butchered and theres no fuse box lol
clutch was completely seized ,but the bores are in wicked condition and the gearbox is sweet sooooo...on with the show

pics soon

[Gitzy]

Yess On with the show indeed..
