Spent some alone time with my cafe bike yesterday. Gave her a bath, and some fresh oil. We discussed it, and she agrees...it is time to go to a new owner. One that will ride her like she deserves to be ridden. So I posted my baby on craigslist this morning. Going to take one last ride on her tonight after work. Thought I would post her here also, just incase there might be someone interested.
I have thousands invested in parts on this bike, and many hours designing, fabricating, and restoring it. And it is a blast to ride! Runs the twisties like it's on rails. Here is a list of most of the work done:
-New Avon Roadrunner tires, wheel bearings, and seals
-All new brake, clutch, throttle, tach/speedo, and decompression/starter lines
-New front caliper seal kit and pads as well as new rear brake shoes
-New brake/clutch levers, springs, and brake light switch
-New Fork tubes, seals, and dust boots
-Tapered steering head bearings
-Lucas style headlight with Halogen Bulb and Fork Mounts
-Tarozzi adjustable Clip-On Handlebars and Napoleon Bar End Mirrors
-New turn sigs front and rear, as well as an LED brake/running light
-Bronze swing arm bushings and a new pivot shaft
-New 12 ¾" Rear Shocks
-New Sprockets and 530 Drive chain
-PAMCO Ignition kit with HO coil and plug lines
-POD K&N air filters
-XS750 Tank Powder coated with new gas cap and 2 new petcocks
-Manx Racing Seat by Clubman Racing
That is most of the big stuff, minus new gaskets, filters, and seals here and there. The bike has just over 16k original miles, but under 500 since I completed my work. It has both kick start, and an electric start.
Here is a short video of it running
Asking $3800 obo

Been here off and on...more off then on as of late. Bought a sidecar rig this past winter, and ride that as often as possible with my son and wife...so the Cafe bike sits =( I've got another XS waiting to be redone this winter though
