This bike is not far from me. Is this something worth getting and holding onto in dry storage...ie my garage! I have the cash and could always offer $2500 and see if I get a bite. Brian

I called about this bike about a month ago. It originally sold for I think $1200 and had been sitting with all fluids drained. Apparently the new owner now has it up and running. It would be cool to get this and just put it away for another 25 years as a collectors item. It would be like...

I've got the entire triple tree minus a few ball bearings that fell out while disassembling. I have a wiring harness as well. Exhaust and engine mount bolts have been sold. Pretty much what you see on the list at the beginning of the post is what I have left. Brian

PM sent today. IF anyone has not been responded to please let me know. Brian

PM sent, sorry CDI is gone. Brian

Parts list updated and PM sent.

Can you hook me up with how that's done. Assuming the VIN is clear and not stolen how do I go about getting a title? I just parted out a beautiful 1981 xs650 special II with spoked rims do to not being able to get a title. I see alot of bikes without titles, some running, that I constantly...

Ghetto, I lived up in Manchester for about 3 years. Actually have an office/warehouse over in Hooksett. Problem I have with bikes out of NH is that titles are required which really hurts me down in MD. If you see any really good deals up there and your not buying let me know. I"m up and...

I've seen alot from the late 70's as well. For a first time xs650 rider/potential project is it better to go early 80's or are we pretty much looking at the same thing throughout the model years? Thanks for all of the replies. Sounds like a great deal mrpink on the 83 special. I need a deal...

Travis, That seems like a reasonable price range. I know KBB trade in put the later models in the 1080+ range. I'm hoping to land a runner before winter sets in for a good project. Thanks for your reply. Brian

Welcome to the board! Very nice looking ride. I'm hoping to land a bike to build this winter. You can get all kinds of ideas on this board. I"m mostly a lurker but there are some amazing bike and people on this forum. One of the better ones on the web. I rank it right up there with the...

Looking at few xs650's with titles? What is a good price for a runner with a title. I don't think I'd end up keeping it stock but it would make it nice to start with a runner and then start modifying it instead of bringing it back completely from the dead. If the bike is in good shape...

Sorry flyboy I sold the entire engine about two weeks ago. Let me know if there is anything else you need though. Brian

Just bumping my self up. Still alot of nice parts left.

I wear either Chippewa or Georgia Logger boots with steel safety toe. They last forever. I work in the Natural Gas Pipeline industry for a living and where them everyday. They are tough to break in but once they are they're the best boot ever. A little costly $130 - $200 a pair but worth...

Sorry the rear rim has been sold as well as the front one. If there is anything else you need feel free to ask. Brian

I think I'm up to date on PM's if I forgot anyone please feel free to send me a message as life gets hectic but I do my best! Thanks, Brian

Rectifier is sold and for now I'm keeping the stator with the engine. If a deal on the engine falls through I may consider taking the stator out. Also on the two petcocks needed I have one as there is only one with the 1981 special

Awesome! Looks like my bike before I took it apart. If it wasn't for the lack of title and too many bikes already in the garage I would've got the ol girl running! Looks really good.

gggGary, Glad to hear the side covers arrived safe and sound. Hopefully they will go to good use making another xs650 look good on the road again. Just give me a shout if you need anything else! Thanks, Brian
