Blue Collar XS650 Build

Shop Parts Used on this Build

We started this build with a 1981 Yamaha XS650. We used one of our hardtail kits to clean up the rear of the bike and we installed a Moto Iron Springer on the front.

This bike is super lightweight and a blast to rip around town. We highly recommend a Yamaha XS650 for your first build. They are inexpensive and well supported with parts making them a desirable donor bike.

My experience with TC Bros. was exceptional, fast shipping, in stock items, highly recommended the company. The lane splitter from SPC is amazing quality, easy install, looks great and sounds even better.

These rotors have a good fit and finish, and when paired with a good set of pads Improve stopping power greatly.

I just received my 2nd TC Brothers weld on hardtail. My son also has one on his chop. I've also used their other parts on several builds. The fit and finish coupled with the support is 2nd to none. I'll continue to buy from TC Brothers for all of my builds

So I’ve been building a Dyna this year and I never leave reviews for ANYTHING ONLINE. I felt obligated to let this be a first and just say how much I appreciate TC bro’s and their dedication to quality customer service and expedited shipping. I’ve ordered a lot from these guys and have had my questions answered and my parts received consistently for MONTHS now. I can’t recommend these guys enough. In an age of business where people just “don’t care anymore,” it really makes me feel it necessary to leave a review because these guys still give a damn. Thank you TC bro’s for quality risers and great service 120/100.

Extremely fast shipping. Ordered on a Wednesday afternoon and it was delivered on Thursday. Very easy install and the quality is excellent. Ride quality is surprisingly better than the stock set up. Definitely what my build needed to put it over the top.

Couldn’t be happier with my 8in risers and tracker bars. Perfect fit, easy install, and ridiculously fast shipping. Completely changed how my bike feels and rides. 10/10

Jon
★★★★★

Great product and easy to install because everything you need is in one package. I love the look and feel of the springer frontend. The shipping was fast and because it included great east to read instructions I did not need to contact anyone but, I’m sure that if I had that it would have been top tier aswell!
