Dave Taylor's  Outfit

The chair on Dave's '79 special comes from Bombay and according to Dave it's hot stuff. If you don't believe me I'll get him to take you for a squirt! The highly modified and strengthened frame on the special make this outfit handle like a dream (read nightmare if you at all squeamish about cornering at high speed!). Dave is the new president of our XS650 club. 

Dave Bath's Chopper & XS650 Special with sidecar

Dave Bath is one of the most dedicated XS650 owners in the club, apart from the two bikes pictured here, Dave has several others in the pipeline. The Special pictured here is more "special" than you might think, it has been fitted with a 750cc kit as well as a 90° crank and Trost 447-270-01 cam, in fact Dave's special is the first rideable 270°/90° engined XS650 in the world! But he won't be the last as there are several others nearing completion. Dave's bike is also the first fitted with the new Newtronics ignition system designed for this purpose and Dave has had a lot to do with its availability.
