PANACHE CUSTOMS 1977 YAMAHA XS 360 MOTORCYCLE

Sinking two years of your life into a little motorcycle like this 1977 Yamaha XS360 might seem excessive, but for Panache Customs founder Charles Murillon, the time isn’t what’s important. Charles spent two years learning his trade at custom cycle shop Diamond Atelier before striking out on his own, and it shows. Nicknamed Falkor after the furry white dragon from The Neverending Story, this XS360 stands out for what it isn’t — flashy or overdone. Keeping with the original aesthetics, Charles minimized the wiring, added a dual front disc setup from its larger sibling the XS650, and even kept the original exhaust headers. While it won’t be winning races, this XS360 will definitely be turning heads in the best possible way.
