Looks like that's an XS 650 motor in that bike.

Yes It is a  XS650. A 1977 "Roadster" motor with the 7 plate clutch. The entire drive train is Yamaha. Good  torque for  a hack. No slippage. Gerry

Love it. & I really want a 650 twin. A buddy of mine has one but he insists he needs it for his Bobber... One day

That is really cool... looks like it turns pretty smooth, huh?  Must be nuts riding in that thing! Ha.

Paint job looks great too:

what type of damper have you put on the rig? looks like a great ride, just remember to do the reverse in leaning the bike when driving with the hack on it. also, check your tow-in. that will help.
