This my daily driver, a Yamaha 650 custom. I've done the j-slam changed the bars to z drag bars with batt grips, shaved the seat and covered with alligator, did the side mount taillight, everything I've done to the bike has taken less than 30 minutes each. I'm building a 78 Ironhead that will be my own take on what a custom should be. As money allows I'll get bigger engines and do more, but for now this is what I've got going.

fender
by: Anonymous

Thanks man the fender i finished the bike with is a harley softail widened 3" will post pics of finiahed bike the pic u see is stock i just cut the junk off. And slammed it.would reccomend if over 200lbs body weight with the j slam u will burn up that rear fender.the front forks all i did was shove them up 1"and 7/16. Every inch u lower the shock at top bracket " equals 2" at rear so watch it sit the bike on the ground and go up from there.i used a harley air shock and reversed it to make it work.frame almost on ground beacause of swingarm and frame.later joekustom let meknow if u need more info i tore the bike completly apart so if there is anything else holla.

Question
by: Claude

Hi,
I live in Australia and am looking for a Yamaha 650 Custom Motorcycle.
I recently googled Yamaha 650 Custom and your bike came up, i like what you have done with the bike.
I was wondering if you can give me any advice.
I like the fenders on the custom over the classic, how difficult is it to custom the rear fender, any advice would be great.

Kind Regards,

Claude
