XS-IVE Habit
XS650 Addict
I was out for a ride on my '75 and ran across a fellow rider out on some Yamaha full dresser. He mentioned he had two XS650's laying around, so I began looking for a partner to buy these two complete (and at one point running) 650's for $500 apiece. Needless to say after one ride on my '75 my buddy Zeb and I had these bikes home. They have their respectable amounts of cleaning ahead for sitting around. But my '81 was sitting outside this Tuesday and it was just warm enough that I decided what the hell, I will swap tanks, batteries, and just see if I could get her to pop. If I could get it to run it would only be once to try to spot any major problems, but as you can see I am happy with my budget buster. The plan is do a proper paint job with the help of my dad to stock configuration with a stock restoration front to rear. Once I graduate this might be my template for a Street Tracker I have been drawing up. Here is the link to the movie.
