But I've got a XS650, so I keep up with their builds,

Seems every day there's a bunch of "me too" stretched out hardtail conversions, like everyone pulled parts from the same box.

Then every once in a while something unique pops up:

_Z_ - can you do a clutch cover like this?

Dang thats feaking sweet!!! I would say its more of a bobber then a chopper tho

 

I'd ride it!

 

psh i can do anything haha <---sarcasm.... it just looks like a clear cover, with a few leds inside of it

AND THAT AINT NO CHOPPER FOO its clearly a bobber

 

Do the XS's have wet or dry clutches? I'm assuming dry since there wasn't oil splattered all over the viewing hole.

...and I agree looked bobber not chopper

 

XS's are wet clutches, some people have modded them to be dry clutches (usually for the noise), but the one in the vid is a wet clutch

clear clutch covers are fairly common in the streetfighter seen. you just need to make the right material so that the oil doesn't stick to it, i forget at the moment, i think its lexan. if you use plexiglass, the oil sticks to it and fouls it.

 

How does he stop it... on a wing and a prayer?

 

rear break... so yea more or less
