    Here is an updated pic of "Old Skool" , my 82 XJ650 bobber I have been working on. Its getting close to being done. Black wheels, Black Forks, sprung seat and the rear white wall is on. Front White wall is on back order. Tank stripped (trying to decide whether to paint it or seal it) still have to put the rear fender on it and figure out the exhaust, it is still too loud but don't want full mufflers, would like side shots on it..any ideas?

    Thanks for the compliments, I think the tank is from an early 80's dirt bike. The green is gone, recovered seat with black sunbrella embroidered maltese cross and the words "old Skool" in an old fashioned font. Green grips are being replaced with white grips.

    I found some white wall paint online one time.
    I was thinking about doing some of that.
