Hey Now!
The time has come to sell my XS here in San Diego, CA. This bike was "Miss October" in the 2018 calendar.
The bike is also featured on sale/display at a retro moto shop in Encinitas call Seawed & Gravel. They have it in the shop on display instead of out in the lot with the other resto bikes. Here is a list of what it has, which is basically everything out there:

Also appeared in the 2018 OG Moto bike show in LA
Several copies of the calendar are included with the bike.
It is on consignment for $6500 at Seaweed & Gravel in Encinitas, CA but the forum price is $5500 for yalls.

Drivetrain-
Frame off rebuild with Cerberus Moto and final re-tuning before sale at Poway Motorcycle
Engine and transmission fully rebuilt, cleaned, & vapor honed
All gaskets and seals are new with many spares included
Mikuni VM34 carb kit by Gary Hoos Racing
Pamco digital ignition, e-advance unit, and coils
707 big bore kit from Gary Hoos. Machine work done locally.
Shell#1 cam from Hoos
Kibblewhite titanium high performance valve springs & keepers from Hoos
Cone Engineering reverse cone pipe custom welded to suit
Mid-70s Joe Alphabet 2-into-1 header
Upgraded taller 5th gear from Mike’s XS

Body and bits-
Powder coated frame in a metallic charcoal color.
Dual brembo front brakes off a Ducati Monster, Classic Brembo MC and lever
Bronze painted spoked wheels off an earlier year retro fitted for the drum brake
Progressive Suspension progressive fork springs with all rebuilt seals
RFY rear shocks
Heiden Tuning standard oil filter/cooler conversion
Skateboard seat pan upholstered in suede from a local leather shop
Motogadget motoscope mini inlaid by Cognito Moto into their own matte finish custom top clamp
1977 XS750 tank refurbished w/ redkote lining
Fairly new Continental Road Attack 3 tires
Posh gum grips and handlebar micro switches
1940s farm tractor light up front with custom LED housing inside and led strip in back
LED rock light mounted underneath for ground effect and safety at night
Brass tach eliminator and chunky petcocks
Hugh’s Handbuilt fork brace & engine top mount brackets
Lossa rearset pegs and controls

Tons of original and spare parts included. Revert to standard pegs front and rear if desired. Any feedback on the listing is appreciated.

Hahaaaa- you're right! I am selling one of those too, and putting a Land Cruiser on BringATrailer all at the same time. There actually isn't a clist post for this bike because it is at that shop.

Can't believe these bikes are being let go. I know they need constant care but you need a pain the ass sometimes to keep you longing for the road.
