Electric start added too, very trick bike
Honda XR650 with lots of special bits.

Yip .....I'd noticed the rim and electric start..hence the pics....he/she has the Acerbis long range fuel tanks too. Some nice bits and pieces for sure.....again,sorry I never heard it run
The paint job was that lumpy,rough to touch,coating.
Ultimately though....it's nice,to see a modified moto,elsewhere than within the confines of a dry,safe national motorcycle show display eh?

Nice, but I'm going to blow my own trumpet here, and say I prefer mine. XR650L. With Kickstart, plus loads of other mods.

Looks like the foot pegs have been moved further back. Gear change tip is in line with the shaft......not good for leverage!.... hence the mods.

He has probably drilled the kickstarter because he has converted it to electric start. I wouldn,t trust a drilled kickstart on a 650 single if the battery goes flat though.
