This XS650 was built
as a tribute to the Pro Twins racers from the eighties and early
nineties - it was a hotly contended Battle of the Twins style
race series with many top riders competing, like Jamie James,
Kevin Erion, Jimmy Adamo, Randy Renfrow, Doug Polen and Dale Quarterly.

We had
this ratty XS650 to start with. We kept the frame and motor, everything
else was discarded.
|
|
|
We chose FZ750 running
gear for period components. The FZ750 front end was grafted onto
the XS650 chassis and we found some nice vintage one piece aluminum
clip-ons to complete the front end.
The wider rear wheel required a custom box swingarm, which replaced
the spindly stock affair. The FZ750 calipers and slotted discs
are a nice upgrade over the XS650 brakes.

To get the right
look Airtech designer Kent Riches wanted a long road race style
fuel tank and matching seat with large number plates. He opted
for a half fairing to show off the motor and exhaust.
Kent sectioned a TZ250 fuel tank making it wider and longer to
fit the bigger XS650 frame then cut up a TZ seat and modified
it to fit the big loop-style subframe. Large sculpted number plate
areas clear the rear shocks perfectly.

Such a nice tail
shape. There's even room for a small taillight if you're building
a street bike!
|
 |
Note
the nice rolled edge on this seat which gives it an awesome finished
look.

We selected
the upper half of our F1 fairing for this project because it complements
the tank and tail and leaves the pretty motor exposed. It has
slight hand bulges and of course a bitchin' 70's race style.
We've listed this bodykit for the 1970-79 XS1, XS2, TX650 and
Standard XS650 models. Some of this stuff may fit the 80-85 Special
models but the subframe is different on those years.
We make a lot of other parts that fit the XS650, you'll find
them listed below.
Call us today with fitment questions, buy a few parts and get
your project going!

XSRRS
Yamaha XS650 road race tail
This seat started life as a TZ tail but Kent modified it heavily
to work with the XS650 frame. It now clears the twin shocks and
sits down on the wide XS650 subframe. The sculpting in the side
towards the front breaks up the surface and makes it look less
heavy visually. This is probably the best looking XS650 tail out
there!
Also fits XS500.

XSRRT
Yamaha XS650 road race tank
This is a modified TZ250 road race fuel tank. It was
widened and lengthened to suit the XS's larger size and the tunnel
was completely reshaped to fit the XS650 backbone. It requires the
use of the two mounting pucks and will mount to the stock front
location. The back of the tank has a generous tab for mounting, the tank is longer than
stock so a mounting tab will need to be fabricated and welded to your frame.
Tank is supplied with 2x 1/4" NPT fuel bungs, ready for aftermarket
fuel valves (ask your sales rep, we can supply). Our standard
twist-off stainless fuel cap is included, other cap styles (monza,
flush) are available.
Tank is supplied in plain white
gel coat, speed block paint job not included!
Please note! This gas tank
is not recommended for street use, this is a fiberglass gas tank
that will not dent. In the event of a crash, the gas tank
may rupture and spill fuel possibly catching your motorcycle on
fire. This gas tank is recommended for racing purposes, with racing
fuel only! Read more...

XJ71
Yamaha XJ700 front fender
This fender worked great for this project and is fairly
universal since it mounts to a flat fork brace. The XJ700 had
a 19" front wheel but since the fender is so short it really
doesn't matter, even with the 16" front wheel on this build
it looks like it was made for it!
Width: 5"
Length: 23"
Radius: 19" wheel
