SOLD: 1975 XS650 in southwestern PA

Bought a fairly nice 75 XS650 a few years ago. It ended up in my project queue & I never got to it.
More recently I had the opportunity to get a nicer 75 XS650 — that bike is shown in my new member intro & is now sorted:

So now the question is what to do with the first one.
Didn't take much to get it running.
Does have a few problems: petcocks leak, oil leak, screws for tach dial face.

So I think I'm going to fix it up a bit & sell it on eBay.
Let me know if anyone is interested before I do that.

Here are some pics. (I have the side covers.)

Short video from the second time I started it. (Sorry for the poor quality.)

Oops. Just read the classified instructions.

I’m not yet sure how much its worth.
Am probably going to get replacement petcocks from MikesXS & then list it on eBay as an auction with a buy-it-now of around $1.8k to $2k.
So its make-an-offer if you are interested here.

Also noticed the front brake sticks a bit & will need some work.
Please PM me if you think my eBay BIN price is too high or too low.

update…
Ordered new petcocks.

Forgot to mention that the title is in my name.

New petcocks installed & oil leak fixed.
Rode it for a short distance in the neighborhood.
Likely needs some carb work & a general tuneup.

Any interest before I post it for sale?

very interested in the tank, but can't imagine you'd want to sell just that

Of course I will sell you the tank. Its $1,500 & uShip will ship it for something like $600.
This deal would also do wonders for your spare parts collection.
