I believe someone here in the forum built that one. The member’s name is eluding me at the moment.
@Machine built it.

Looks like he did a great job.
The 79F was bought by a fine Australian gal who was reluctant to be a kicker starter. Sear Height and bike weight were just not comfortable to her. It's a great stock Standard bike. Rides exactly like that.

Did you eliminate the starter? Yeah the XS can be a handful as it’s not the lightest bike on the block. I’ve sold my last two bikes to ladies, a 650 Tempter and a Kaw 400, both light and nimble. I was even thinking of just addressing that market. PM me sometime and maybe we can ride or show and tell.
Not, the starter is as adequate as most XS's .
I prefer to kick start these XS's myself as I have a starting routine which kinda checks functions & confirms readiness. I consider the electric start to be a great back up for any needed circumstances. Like a knee complaining.... the 79F would have made a very fun reliable resto mod bike as I wasn't a fan of the tallish stepped 79 seat but that seat was too rare and nice to change it out.

That particular low mileage 79F Standard is a very good $2500 XS for whoever wants to cruise easy on a stock bike.
Yeah baby, good deal all around!
Man, the prices where you live are so great! You can’t touch a decent one around here for less than 3-4 thousand.
Dayum..nice bike Randy...
