This is a '79 (tank looks to be a Standard and it has a wire spoke rear wheel and dirt bike front forks) with a Special parts bike for $900 in North Dallas: http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/mcy/4295406540.html

Try using www.adhuntr.com to search craigslist - national, regional, or by state.

Or, depending on how far you are willing to go... there's one in Tuscon AZ at what appears to be a junk yard: http://tucson.craigslist.org/mpo/4303855339.html

Thanks for the links, I'm looking for a 78 in good shape, something I can ride and make my own at the same time.

Hey King6! That listing is no XS 650! Whoever listed it don't know what it is.

 

[King6]

Hey your right, just got the vin and all I could find that it is a xs400 it's a "2Lo" frame.

 

[Rival178]

still looking, not much luck finding a 78 in good riding condition.

 

[King6]

I can't find an xs650 "titled" period! Lol

I have a titled, nearly complete, "decent" 78 but it has a holed piston. Guy ran it on the freeway with a 2 into 1 pipe and stock jetting, he made it almost 100 miles............. IIRC it shows less than 20K on the odo.

Road trip?

Another one in Ohio.......

[gggGary]

The one in Ohio looks like a 79 Special II....

 

[Rival178]

wow, that needs more work than I want to start off with. I'm hoping to find one in better condition, something I can make my own as I ride it.

thanks for the heads up though!!!!!

Matt
