81 yamaha xs650 just got done building

Anyone else on here into motorcycles? I picked up this beauty back in April. Never built a bike like this before but I knew exactly what I wanted to do to it. Build took a little over 4 months due to lack of time and money but I got it all finished up 2 weeks ago. Here's some pics enjoy

Bad ass I was just looking into making a cheap bobber. If you dont mind, how much do you have in this total?

Looks sick.

If you reuse alot of the old parts you can save a bunch of money. That was my plan when I started but as I started building I changed my mind. Probably have a little over 3 grand in this bike. If you can find a running bike to start with it will save money too. I had to replace pistons and have mine bored so that added a few hundred to the build

Sweetest build ever... So jealous and I think bikes are death traps lol!

that went from lame to badass!
