After decades of racing bikes and making parts it should come as no surprise that Joker Machine can build a mean custom motorcycle. In this case, it's Geoff's venerable Yamaha XS650 that got the treatment. We don't feature nearly enough XS's here on Chop Cult, but we're going to change that in the near future. Thanks to Geoff and Bryan for letting us invade their work day and roll this baby out into the rain for a quick shoot.
