For Sale - 1975 XS650 for Sale $3K

[kungfutoast]

1975 XS650 for sale in the Portland Or. area.

Selling for a buddy who moved across the country. Starts, turns, and stops. Has a title!

The carbs need to be synced and the wiring harness needs to be either replaced or tended to, but otherwise the bike is great. My buddy was learning how to work on bikes and made some unique decisions. Don't worry everything is easily changed. I don't like where he put the ignition switch for example. I have to many projects and won't get to this one. Cant win em all I suppose. My loss your gain.

I have a Hughs Handbuilt PMA system that comes with the bike (not installed). I also have a Pamco e-advance I can throw in the lot. I am not sure if it works. Haven't had it installed in my personal XS for years. It's free so who care right?

Anyway, I am hoping to get $3K for the bike. Ride it home or bring a trailer.

Are there any of the original parts still available with the bike, I.E. the seat, headlight ears, headlight bucket, instruments, rear fender, tail light, etc?

Hey @Vincenthdfan

I'd buy it (especially as close as it is) but it'd have to be less than that with all the missing original stuff I'd have to source.

FWIW, I completely agree. Would cost quite a bit to source those parts.

Unfortunately no. My bud disposed of all of that.

I gotta adjust that number unless some Portland hipster wants to pay that much. Make an offer and see if I bite. Again I am selling for a friend so I am going off of his ask.

A point of note, all the tabs for the seat and fender have been cut off. It would best to not see this bike as a classic resto project. It would make a great chopper project or ride it as is. Its a fun bike.

I appreciate your honesty...probably saved me a trip.
