I debated for a long time whether to even register it, instead make my own license plate or leave the entire bracket off. Many people don't realize that driving is a regulable activity requiring registration and the driver to have a driver's license. In the United States we have a constitutionally protected right to travel unencumbered. Because this is a basic right there is no permission required, i.e. I do not need a driver's licens or registration, etc. For more information on these FACTS check out my other website www.begNOpardon.com which deals with rights that have been stolen without permission by those we have elected to protect those very rights, or click HERE to go directly to the page on 'driving vs. traveling'.
Here is the latest pictures of Stella. Just got her all ready for emissions last week then Arizona passes a new law that motorcycles no longer need emissions... FINALLY! So waited all this time for nothing. Took her out for a 5 mile ride to check things out. I will continue a few mile road tests for the next few days and weeks and start building up distance. Why you ask? The XS650 is a twin, and since I have dropped a good 100lbs from the bike it is light and vibrates just short of a bull running down the streets of vegas in a parade. Because of the vibrating engine, bolts loosen and parts become roadkill.

I got my new wheel and tire in today. They unfortunately sent me a 16" rim instead of an 18" rim. So I am sending that back for an exchange. However I removed some of the rear end to make room for the new rear wheel. It is starting to take shape. I am messing around with some axle plate designs. I have settled on this style, it looks like a looped hardtail but is very simple. Last night I took my fender to my neighbors to plasma cut some of the sides off since it rolled all the way around the wheel. I just want a fender to cover the top of the tire and match it's profile. After I got it back I had to do some pounding to shape it how i wanted it. Here is a picture with the fender and seat. Final plan is the fender will start at 12 o'clock and end between 3 and 4 o'clock. The seat will be about an inch or two back as well.
