8/9/2023 0 Comments Yamaha xs650 gravel crew styleI started with the typical neglected bone-yard XS650 and a scrap XS500 which donated the titled neck and steering assembly. The Drifter was my response and homage to those “ brat” bikes I’d been studying so much of. Ive been looking through blogs and studying pictures from past Yokohama shows looking to build something a little different than the usual bobbers we’re all used to. Over the past year I’ve really been into the bikes coming out of Japan, the usual guys, Gravel Crew and the like. My first bike was a XS650, “ Norma Jean” (posted on xs650chopper a while back) and I’ve been building them primarily ever since (Norma Jean, The Bandit, Copper Devil and many others that never made it out here). I’ve been building XS650’s for a few years now out of my small shop Vintage Customs, in central Florida.
