81-650chopper
81-XS650Chopper
SOLD
I have a 1981 XS650 project I was just thinking about selling. I built it summer of 09. Front end is raked out 4" back end is chopped up for lower seat height. Soft tail. Factory swing arm. Buell gas tank (looks really cool, kind of chopper/crotch rocket look) straight homemade drag bars, front brake removed (I have the parts). Drag pipes cut off by the stock foot pegs. Loud and nice sounding. Bike is fast! Very light! Dry weight is roughly 300 lbs. All my Harley riding buddies can't believe when I pull on there 90's cu. in. bikes. Put about 800 miles on then the charging system quit. I couldn't get it fixed, didn't have time. So now it sits. I want to get a vintage snowmobile or two so I will sacrifice my bike. As it sits now the tires and forks are off. I was going to polish the forks. Started but didn't finish.
What it needs-
-Tires
-Charging system fixed. I believe it's the stator or rotor and The voltage regulator that came with the bike is not oem but works. I was going to order new parts from Mikes XS about $450 for all parts new or you could find used parts.
-Seat. I threw together a hand built, hand wrapped seat. It was in nice until I stepped on it and broke it.
-Tail lights and license plate bracket.
My plans were to order a stator, rotor, voltage regulator and forward controls from the Internet and Mikes XS about $600. Can find tires for $50-60 each. Put about 20-30 man hours into it with some TLC and this bike will be ready to go! Plenty of time left before it warms up. I'm thinking around $800 or b/o. I have clean title in hand. *Any questions feel free to ask or PM me. Thanks.
To see a photo message me with your email address and I'll email one to you. I would like to sell this asap. I have new projects going. I have another XS650 I've been riding so this one has got pushed off and will rot if I don't sell it. Would also consider trades for vintage 78-81 snowmobiles. Fast ones. The race sleds back in the day. Polaris TX TXL TXC 340 440. Arctic Cat El Tigre 6000, Kawasaki Drifter and Intruder 440. Skidoo Blizzard RV TNT. Mercury Sno Twister Trail Twister. Thanks.
