Few more looks at the new rear end for the XS 650 Race Bike!

Shop Race Bike

Got the rear tire in today.  I was worried because i ordered one of the widest they have.  I thought i was going to have to shave the tire to fit it inside the swingarm.  Looks like i got plenty of room!

Custom XS 650 Exhaust System

Ive been wanting to get some custom exhausts made to sell for the xs 650 for a while.  I got a chance to make a set for a local guy which helped me get my ass in gear.  This is a custom dual high pipe set for the xs 650.  If you have any custom exhaust requests send me an email @ counterbalancecycles@gmail.com.

These are very nice hand made custom exhaust systems.  Full tig welded and back purged for the best performance.  This exhaust has mild steel couplers at the head, and then 304 stainless all the way back to the mufflers. 

I will be making a few kits to sell in my store, but I am always interested in custom sets!  Email me if you need one for your project!

Fasthouse - The Ride

Check out this rad video from the Fasthouse.  Ricky Diaz's xs650 ripping!  I hooked Ricky up with a seat pan months ago, he covered it on his own and built a sick xs!

Counter Balance Cycles Shop Bike

Ive been meaning to do a few things for the past year or two.  I want to make a set of instructions for the products that I make and sell, and I also wanted to use my parts to make a 'shop bike'.  This little beast is going to be the base for all of the above.
