Custom Built Motorcycles Bobber xr650

[Diablotin]

Not a vmax, I really like the build : http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Cust...QitemZ160500548330QQptZUSQ5fmotorcycles#v4-36.

Look like a Conferederate Wraith for 1/10 the price

 

[VMAX1260]

wow very nice build indeed

 

[gamorg02]

very cool. does the front end have suspension?

 

[dannymax]

I would say yes it does. It's kind of a combo between a girder and a springer. The coil spring in back of the headlight provides the 'bounce'.

Pretty cool!

Looks like a copy of a Confederate motorcycle...

Nice looking bike...but if I want to be cramped I just take the RC51 out...unk:

More importantly , ONLY 650 cc...nothing under 1K will do...:rocket bike:

Pretty cool little machine there!

So he copied a confederate ? With a crappy (imho) engine? Looks cool, sure there is a good deal of fabrication/skill there but why not use a better motor? I would use a 600cc inline 4 or maybe a rotax v twin.

You are absolutely right Przemek! :worthy:

That's an interesting link, thanks.

I like it, but then again I'm starting to really like them builds that have that industrial feel to it.

Not to hijack this, but what's the deal with the single sided swingarms? It just seems like it'd be a crappy design, it would cause an enormous moment about where the axle goes into the one arm. When I first saw it I figured it was kind of a novelty to show that it could be done, and it looked kind of funky but now it seems to be catching on with OEMs and customs. Is it all for a weight savings over a regular "fork" swingarm?

Besides the removal advanteges(like car setup) its only for the look.
And its looks very unique!

It's really cool & all,but would u bid 8k on it?? :hmmm:

 

[Diablotin]

8k on it? just think about the time and money spent on it ...
Many guys have spent that much on their max, so why not.
But I agree he should have used a better engine lol

I think the single sided swingarm has been proven strong and reliable with it's use in racing where it's primary advantage is weight savings, secondary would be for fast tire changes in wet/dry conditions.
I like the industrial look as well especially with extensive use of machined parts.unk:
