Thanks for the heads up. I haven't seen it pop up on any of the sites I scour on a daily basis but I will keep an eye out for this one.

Why is it that all bikes I find are in New York and I am in Texas?? Wish you were closer, GLWS.

GordonScott, any idea what kind of price range you would be looking at IF you were to decide to push forward?

Haha, love it. That should be Nike's new slogan. I am planning on building a bobber and I do understand that there will be a lot of excess 'fat' to trim from a complete bike. I guess this route will allow me the freedom to get the wheels/tank/seat/etc. that best suits my style. I have...

Thanks for the input guys. After sleeping on it I came to pretty much the same conclusion as you all stated. Worst case, I buy the frame and motor and end up finding another bike with a title. I could then build my bobber off of the bare frame....then I would have an extra frame and motor to...

OK, so I have been looking for an XS650 within a reasonable distance from me (Houston) for going on a month with no success. The few bikes I have run across have been well out of the price range I was looking to stay under ($1000 running) or have been within my price range and sold before I...

Wow, with the additional pics I want it even more! Looks great. Does the owner roam these forums? Here is to hoping we get some interested parties:thumbsup:

Cool, thanks.

lol, agreed. And she is even hotter since she is on a bike.

Does anyone have a bike for sale within say....8 hrs of Houston?

Don't mean to threadjack (even though this is an older thread), but can you (gordonscott) bend tubing to match the hardtail section on this? Everytime I see this bike my pants get a little tight:D Still dont have the bike but when I find one in my area this is definitely the way I want to go...

If it wasnt such a long drive I would take it, lol.

I was looking into this too so I hopped on CL and was able to find some old ovens for as little as 30 bucks and saw the cheap starters kit on harbor freight that seems like it may do the job. "http://www.harborfreight.com/10-30-psi-powder-coating-system-94244.html" I don't think I would...

I bought a Gixxer off of eBay a few years back and the guy who sold it said it had a salvage title, which ended up being a Florida Certificate of Destruction meaning that it was supposed to have been sold for parts but not as a title-able bike. Long story short, I was able to get a bonded title...

I know what yall mean, its been in the low 60's/high 50's at night and high 70's during the day here. Just kidding, I cant imagine what your temps are like...guess thats why I stay down here. But I do envy yall in the summer, nothing like a humid Houston summer to make your balls stick to your...

Cool, I knew you had a reason just wasn't sure what it was. I love the way it is turning out so far, keep posting pics on the progress regardless of how small. For new guys like myself even pics of the spacers are of great help. I am sure you know this being a 'new' guy yourself. This is...

Wow, looking great! Awesome progress and great writeup to boot. May be a dumb question but why buy the new frame and go through the trouble of titling it vs chopping and putting a hard tail on the original frame? Did I miss something? Was the bike purchased without a title? Just wondering...

Hey Gary, I am in Houston. I have a posting on CL as well as several other sites. Keeping my eyes open on the roads too. I have faith that the one that is meant for me will come my way when its time! For now I am just finishing up all the small projects at home and cleaning out the garage in...

The more and more I read about these the more and more impatient I am becoming in purchasing one, lol. I have not heard any bad stories on these, nothing but praise. Just my luck, the last 3 I found for sale ended up falling through:( Still looking, patience is a virtue however it seems...

Coming along, keep the pics coming!
