“ICON low down & shifty " - "1974 Yamaha XS-650" "custom motorcycle ” is based on a 1974 Yamaha XS650, The custom cro-moly frame is wrapped in the bare minimum of hand-formed aluminum bodywork, which also conceals the fuel tank.The front end is from a Hayabusa. Indeed, virtually all that remains of the original machine is the engine, and even this has been extensively modified. It’s had a capacity boost to 750cc, and runs hot cams and dual Mikuni carbs fed via Pingel petcocks. Spark comes from a Boyer ignition and the pipes comes from a MotoCzysz C1, one of the most technologically advanced motorcycles ever
