Hey there,

I've seen plenty of your posts on all your cafe racer projects and it seems like you really know your stuff and build some beautiful bikes.

I am tossing the idea around of building my first bike and Ive been looking on the net at all the xs 650 chopper/bobber homebuilds.

I'm wondering if you know anything about building them. Local shops or good welders that could handle the hardtailing of a frame and adding some rake.

Also, are there certain years of the 650 I should be looking at over others to make the project easier?

Would love some feedback if youve got a few minutes. I have no experience building bikes but think its a project id like to try. I ride an 07 GSXR6 but have always loved the oldschool retro's.

Thanks,

Morgan
