My budget Rice Bobber...
Here's my 1983 Yamaha XS650 cheapo build. So far I've lowered the seat rails, relocated the upper and lower shock mounts so I didn't have to buy shorter shocks and I also made a set of z-bars out of some ape hangers I had. I think it's turning out pretty slick. I need to make a battery box, finish mounting the rear fender, round up a peanut tank, a headlight and make a seat pan.
Let me know what y'all think.

seat pan
looks like a fun build. I looked up an old article I saw in The Horse (great mag for ideas on builds like this) on how to make a seat pan out of a shovel. check it out

Well, I paid too much for the bike but it's slim pickens around here so I had to pay a little more than I would have liked. I got the bike for $1500 but haven't spent a dime other than the purchase price thus far.
