A new quick look, I just lowered that starting price to $2750

This could have gone worse. A little touch up and pin striping to do and it is ready for clear!

Seek peek of the tank. A few bits of touch up to the masking and away we go.

gggGary kissy assy lol. I hate that. You bring up a good point. Sunk money. Now I think on my machine and many other well choppers but not so much with the stock restores, there are handmade parts on them. A bunch of them. Like mine. The entire clutch pedal and mounts, the forward sets with...

So true again. thanks for the tip. I am gonna peek in over there and take a look around. I am finding reason to lower my initial price too. It is in great running condition but the detail may be lacking for the market attention plus shipping like you said is going to factor in a bunch now too...

Hey Bluz, a tad off topic here but while I have you, I just upgraded my fender frontman10g with a Jensen C6v. I haven't broken it in yet but it sounds decent, not really what I thought or hoped but I haven't really had the chance to dial it in. My LP seems to have less body than it did with the...

It's a decision for sure. I will test the market a little. I should have pics up by tomorrow, I hope. Depends on the tank drying in this humidity. I have a fan running near as to bring it down a bit. Seems to be going atp. You and bluzplayer mentioned other markets, Brother if you could lend...

Wow Niels, You have what I would call a collection. lol. Keep it going. I didn't think I would ever sell this bike after getting one again. I had one long ago and got weaseled out of it but I found this one and just love it. I really appreciate the input from you guys. I am not sure how much i...

So true on all counts. Yes that is what I want to hear. I appreciate your opinion. Plus you can provide an insite to the why. You are building to you. Well you are putting some effort into your build that at the current time you may or may not choose to ever sell( i didn't) but things change...

I dig your avatar my man. JG is a super genius and this is exactly the discussion type (economics) I would have with him if he were a "dinner guest" ( obviously at the top of the list). I have always wanted to know and since you brought it up I would open this up for "the talk". The talk of...

I know. It is a toss up. I feel that these machines are definitely worth this amount ($4500). So, do I weed out the bidding war to get to the real buyer or allow the bidding war and risk not getting what I feel I should. Everyone is looking for a deal but I am looking for the next true owner...

Hurst shifter, probably. Our streets are the definition of bad. ( how bad is it ?... lol) I can't use any other light bulb than a led or it won't last a week, and you don't even know it is a hardtail. Thank you. I am going ahead on ebay without the escrow option, that is just wierd and you...

Yamaha XS650 SHB. Running and ridable. Is up for auction on ebay currently, item no 275329774004 for I just lowered the starting price to $2750. (added 6/4/22 Any reference to the price on this thread is in reference to the original $4500 asking price I started with. Not in reference to the...

will try to post pics.

That's bad news, if you can't go back to your baseline then your just guessing from here on out. What year is your motorcycle? Any other mods beside the pipes? Points? check your advance. As said, it would seem that if the pipes were to blame it would run bad from the start. Its something else...

Put the old mufflers back on and see how it runs? Sputters, does it pop? Did you just enrich the mix or try to lean it as well? Could you have loosened a ground wire causing intermittent firing? Open pipes should be lean but except for the hanging rpm sounds like you describe too rich.
