I'm considering selling the 1981 XS650 I just bought from the original owner in July. I have his original invoice for the bike. I bought new tires for it but haven't mounted them yet. He said the bike was running last year when he parked it in his garage but the battery was toast so I couldn't try it. It doesn't look bad for its age. I just can't justify dumping money into it right now. I just had to sell my 2007 VStar 1100 Classic with a ton of engine mods and other stuff. I was going to use part of that money to fund the XS but I've been out of work for over a year and am not sure I should be rebuilding a bike with this money. I was going to build it but bills keep getting in the way. I'm located in NYC if anybody is interested. I can take pictures and email them to any interested parties.
DUE TO A CHANGE IN MY SITUATION (UNEMPLOYMENT WAS STOPPED UNTIL I ATTEND A HEARING) I'VE DECIDED TO PART THE BIKE OUT.
The DMV told me it would be about 2 months until I receive the new title and I don't feel like waiting that long. If anybody needs any parts let me know what you're looking for, your shipping zipcode and make me an offer. The seat is perfect. The tank has no dents and only one or two chips in the paint. There is a little rust in the very bottom of the tank. It was running yesterday. It runs a little rough because it hasn't been used in over a year and I guess the carbs need a good cleaning. It has what I was told is a Vance and Hines 2-1 exhaust with surface rust.
