crusty33 Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 (edited) Hi all, thought some of you might be interested in having a peek at this. It's a 94 DR800 motor in a heavily modified XS650 frame. I used XS forks and wheels etc as they were there and looked right. Custom sporty style tank, one off dummy oil tank for the electrics and unknown, ribbed, rear guard. There's not much in the way of build pics I'm afraid, bit ocd in the workshop and don't like getting my phone/camera dirty!! Edited February 5, 2017 by crusty33 Quote Link to comment

badgerkdd Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Tbh when I read the title DR engined 'bobber' I was thinking I wouldn't like it much. How WRONG I was!! That looks really nice. I hang my head in shame for ever doubting an OSS builder .... Quote Link to comment
crusty33 Posted February 5, 2017 Author Share Posted February 5, 2017 Ha ha, cheers. Always helps when you have talented mates to give you a hand I was pleased with how it came out, the paint on the bodywork was meant to be a different colour, but the orange bled through giving it a bronzed look that was much better than we'd thought!

It really is, never ridden one in standard form but, the power delivery was exactly what you need and want in a light bar hopper. Vibes were a bit much doing long distance on the motorway though.
