Make Offer - 1978 xs650 Rephased Chop in SoCal

With great sadness I am thinking about selling my bike to catch up on things.

I have been through every nut and bolt on this thing at least twice. It's got about 3k on the bike and much lower on the multiple rebuilds that I have been through the motor and drivetrain. It's no longer a scratch-less fresh rebuild as I have taken this thing all over and broken it in.

There's a lot to list, but you can also search me on the forums to find all sorts of info on it. Here are a couple things off the top of my head:

• rephased crank/cam (hugh)
• 3rd overbore
• overdrive 5th gear
• 34s
• Pamco ignition
• PMA (hugh)
• Simplified wiring
• 6" over tubes
• custom reinforced neck
• custom rear seat design including custom sissy bar and fender attached to swingarm

Theres lots more from small battery to custom flake paint, etc. Basically it's a bike to ride with some scratches and 'isms from use. It's got Andy Pangea pioneer bars now, no gauges, etc. Putting it out there to see if anyone's interested and what they'd offer.

I tried to be meticulous in documentation of the build. Also, apologies for being distant from the forum so long and only coming back to hock

Hey old bud you've been missed! Sorry to see the bike for sale is what brought you back, hope some sunshine heads your way.

Don't do it. That's a sweet ride, man.

I hope everything happens for the best......with that said.....I also hope it means you get to keep your bike. BEST of luck to you.

Update. Apologies for not replying to all the PMs and thanks for all the offers. Had a change of heart and decided to keep this baby I built with my babies.

For visibility to anyone interested, the offers ranged from $3,500 - $14,000. With the average offer being ~$4,500. No clue who's a talker or a doer, but might help with your own valuations.

Now it's time to get back out there and pull it back to 125mph and enjoy the California sun.

Glad to hear it alfredo!
