1982 XV750 My lil rice chopper

Very nice & clean - great work

 

That's neat! Any issues with stability on the double kick? it looks like it's down but the two tires are still planted :S. Is that normal for the XVs?

 

Not for mine they sit up rather well off the rear, about 2 inches of clearance. From the picture it looks to be over-rotating. Maybe it's not stock, the frame back there isn't for sure anymore.

It is a nicely moded XV though the lines from the tank flow nicely through the seat. I think I would have left just a little more rise in the rear.

 

Well thanks guys I'm glad you like it, you've got a sharp eye the bike does sit higher than usual with the 4" over forks. the centerstand is not really a problem it just doesn't have the bikes full weight on it as the rear tire is barely touching the ground, it grips the ground well enough and doesn't require as much effort when pushing the bike off the stand, for changing rear tires I just use a piece of plywood under the stand.
I've posted a link below if your interested in more of the build.
