It seems amazing that there are still so many unmolested XS650s out there - particularly early ones. I thought that they had either all been chopped or restored....:umm:

....or were hidden in a barn near North Buxton, ON or in Baraboo, WI....
 
The bike has a ton of great parts. Money spent in the right places. No mention of the Hammer Head shocks though, and what`s with that seat??:yikes:

Oh there are a few in Oregon . (to be continued)
 
I don`t think I`ve ever posted this bike or said anything about it but I bought this one for $600 on the KC CL. Ran great and I was going to cut it up for my Scrambler project but just couldn`t do it. I rode it around the block a couple of times and sold it to a friend who put it back on the KC CL and sold it back to a guy in KC. Go figure. Sure was a nice bike though. My Scrambler donor is in the background of the last pic.:thumbsup:
