1978 xs650 Special
With great sadness I am thinking about selling my bike to catch up on things.
I have been through every nut and bolt on this thing at least twice. It's got about 3k on the bike and much lower on the multiple rebuilds that I have been through the motor and drivetrain. It's no longer a scratch-less fresh rebuild as I have taken this thing all over and broken it in.
There's a lot to list, but you can also search me on the forums to find all sorts of info on it. Here are a couple things off the top of my head:
Theres lots more from small battery to custom flake paint, etc. Basically it's a bike to ride with some scratches and 'isms from use. It's got Andy Pangea pioneer bars now, no gauges, etc. Putting it out there to see if anyone's interested and what they'd offer.

I tried to be meticulous in documentation of the build. Also, apologies for being distant from the forum so long and only coming back to hock
