I have always been a fan of Yamaha since I was a kid, so it seemed fitting that my first real full custom bike would be a Yamaha XJ650. It started with a bike that had most of the parts there, but was in a bit of disarray. That was perfect since I was going to tear it apart anyway. The bike was stripped down to its core and had much of the electrical removed and rebuilt.
Full build details can be found in the builders blog.

Along with being a fun garage project, this bike was also featured in a tee design from Over the Horizon which can be found on BS-Gear.com!
