Going to look at a basket case 73 TX650 tomorrow. He listed it as a '71 xs650 but the VIN shows it to be a "73. Not 100% complete but motor is original. missing right side plate on motor. I know that the '73 and '74 models used the counter balancers and there was problems with the 750 and 500's.
What are the pro's/con's on this thing just based on it being a TX?
Would you chop it up? (what I am looking to do)
I will be able to get it for about $150 along with an 80-81 XS400 mostly complete for an additional $100 or so. The XS400 has a title and the 650 will have a bill of sale. I live in TN so getting a title isn't hard if it is not reported stolen and hasn't been registered in years. Story is, it has been sitting behind a barn for the last 20 years or more.
Appreciate any and all advise/comments on this.
