tank is too big for the bike, looks to be pre '73 yamaha XS650 with an xs400 front end on it (cable drum brake)…has some high-dollar parts on it though, I see a radian swingarm, tarozzi rearsets, and some nice adjustable clip-on bars.

I get that part, but it doesn’t look comfortable. Unless the owner has freakishly long arms, you would practically be laying on the tank, especially with clip ons.

:tup: because he’s out there riding it.

A handful of details I’m not in to, but It’s not my bike.

Those excel rims are $ too. Looks to me like he’s running no air filter or velocity stack ?

Bike looks good overall. I like the exhaust, but as others have said i’m not a fan of the tank.
