Old school cool comes in all shapes and sizes, and Mr Luckys has teamed up with Paughco to design and produce a vintage inspired rigid frame that accepts a 1970-1984 XS 650 Yamaha powerplant. These engines/donor bikes are abundant, cheap, and have that retro styling reminiscent of early Triumphs/BSA’s that looks oh-so sweet!

This gooseneck styled frame features a 30 degree rake, heavy-duty 1 1/2 in. steel front downtube & backbone, 1 1/8 in. side rails, all drawn over mandrel for smooth, clean bends, Mig welded for a stronger weld without all the heat, and fully welded in a secure fixture keeping the frame straight and lined up perfectly during welding. Heay duty threaded brackets for mounting mid-controls & footpegs are welded to the bottom frame rails on each side at the base of the center downtube. 6 motor mount plates for securing the engine to the 3 lower frame mounts are included as shown on the accompanying image. (Use your stock Yamaha upper motor mount).

Accessories: Order neck cups #ML139FCY to mount stock 1971-82 OEM Yamaha front ends (will not work with 1970 & 1983-84 model front ends), wheel and brake as we did on our “Mr Luckys” XS-650 Bobber. Or, order neck cups #ML139FCH to run HD style front ends with 1" stems as with our springer front end in the El Loco XS650 Rolling Chassis kit #ELROLLER. We recommend Jiffy Stand Kit #VT27-0133 and Battery Box Kit #BK0003 for use with XS650 Yamaha sized battery.

You can run your stock OEM Yamaha rear wheel and axle by using the 2 axle spacers/reducers that come with the frame. (shown in the image with the 6 lower motor mount plates). The rear axle plate holes are 13/16", allowing you to also run an HD rear wheel with 3/4"/20mm axle by ordering #ML26BK Axle Kit. To go with HD wheels we offer rear sprockets with the HD 5-hole bolt pattern, but geared to the XS650 Yamaha engine. Sporckets available in 32 and 34 Tooth sizes; Order #KS32TRS  for 32 Tooth or #KS34TRS for 34Tooth. ((XS650 Yamaha engines use a 530 rear drive chain, same as HD's).

Frame comes with Manufacturer’s Certificate of Origin (MCO) for registration when bike is completed, and made exclusively for Mr Luckys in USA by Paughco up in Carson City, NV.Builders Special: $200 off Regular price Plus....FREE shipping within continental 48 states!
