    Sorry to drag this up but........ I accidentally deleted the buyer's email addy and I told him if I found any more XS bits I'd send them to him. Bike photo is for Marty........BIBR 2021........the "last ride" for the cooler bags. They now have been retired and have been turned back into coolers.

    Only so many race dates.......and we didn't have the seats. There have been several attempts to breath life back into it......but the place is literally falling down from neglect. I could stand on my deck and hear the engines roar, I live just across the river from it. Take care......stay...

    Well it’s done. Not without a hiccup or two ( thank you for understanding Niels) I have mixed emotions......I’m REALLY going to miss them but there’s some comfort knowing they went to a GREAT new home. Thank you all for the kind words and support. Gordon Gray.

    Delivery got rescheduled because of the gas scare. Scheduled to happen this Friday. I gave the buyer an refusal option. I want both parties to be comfortable with the deal.... so this stuff could still be available. There is a second person interested and will be contacted if need be...

    Rasputin........that’s my 1967 B44R Victor Roadster. That one ( I have another) is my sidecar rig’s tug. It’s a long story but the readers digest version is.....I lent the bike to some visitors from England. They put 1600 miles on it ( without the sidecar attached) Somewhere along the trip...

    Okay.....I said it’d be quiet but......a short XS story. I went into the Black 78 to install a starter kit. The stock spring was very weak. At the same time I added some chrome outer covers because I despise polishing anything. Love the look just hate the task. So.........I had the clutch side...

    Yes it’s crazy. The sky is falling so grab all your fuel cans and hurry to the gas station. IF......none of this had hit the news.........we would have never been able to tell anything happened. Life would have gone on as usual. Panic buying is a thing nowadays.........screw you and yours...

    BowlingSS.......yes it all went as a lot. Gota take the turds with the jewels. My guess is.......after the buyer ( Niels B) goes through and picks what he wants to keep.....the leftovers might be for sale. I mean how many sets of hard bags does a man need? ( in my case 4.....:shrug:) But I’m...

    I’m going to make sure I mention those really nice side covers Machine has to trade. There is an extra set of green tins in the mix. But almost everything “could” use new paint if a person was so inclined. That trade with Machine was one of the things that slipped through the cracks. Other...

    Okay for those following the saga......this gas situation here in the Southeastern US has caused me to reschedule for next Friday. Everything is finally ready to go. Might give the buyer time to make room for this stuff. So it’s going to be quiet for awhile. Gordon in a gasless ( for now...

    I finally got this stuff all in one place....except for 5- gas tanks, two stock frames and the Black 78. I'm still buttoning up the 78, I'm going to miss that one especially. But after 2-3 days of pushing/ loading these things I realize that 500 lbs is a lot heaver now than it was 20 years...

    To be honest there are lots good used side covers out there. Just keep your eyes open. I'm slowly getting this stuff all in one place....taking up lot of space. Here's a shot of the hard bags. One set is like the one's on the 75 but without the chrome guards, needs a repaint and decals...

    payaso13 asked "Do you have a pair of 78 standard side covers available?" No sir I don't, but the buyer might. There is an extra set of Green side covers in the lot. I might be wrong but except for the color and decals I think a lot of standard models used the same cover. ( that's more of a...

    Better photo of the running (black) 78E. I'm keeping that small windscreen that was on the bike in another photo. I went in and installed the starter gear kit and while I was doing it....added chrome outer engine covers. New chain and both sprockets, rebuild front end, rebuilt carbs, new...

    Niels, I keep forgetting you might be out of the country but you’re NOT out of touch. There will still be no money change hands until you see what you’re getting. That’s just the way I roll and at my age I’m to old to change now. Yes I’ve been burned a couple of times but I still go by my...

    XS650Guy........I gave that to my “little” brother so he’d stop borrowing my other bikes!!!!:bike: I love the boy but he and I don’t see eye to eye on maintenance and upkeep. The Kwai is still doing fine. I liked that bike a lot. I LOVED the XS650s it just too hard for me to keep up with them...

    Thanks for the kind words Gary........your checks in the mail:) Foster puppies have left the garage so I can start gathering things up and putting it in one place. But.......I’m “might” need a bigger rig to haul it all. 1-XS650 = around 460lbs + X 5 :yikes:......my little rig a Toyota...

    BowlingSS asked " That is a great price. Is it still $3K?" Yes sir, still $3000 for the lot. I'm not fishing for more money. There are two fellows interested, one will not be back in the country until the 9th......he's first so I'm waiting on him to come back. Works out well for me because...
