Buying my first one tonight.

[smoker]

I'm about to leave my house right now. I have the flu, it's 3 hours each way, and I'm picking up a complete '78 with a seized engine. $175. Anyone object? Speak now...

 

[Square Circle]

You got the flu? Dont kill your self over it.. its got a blown motor for Christs sake.

 

[Spazpunk]

GO man GO.

It always starts with 1 , be prepared for more than 1

I agree. Wasnt at half way point on my build and already bought another plus a spare engine. Its an xs addiction. The flu is temporary, an addiction can last a life time

 

[smoker]

its got a blown motor for Christs sake.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

 

[h3llb3nt1]

I say grab that shit up. Good luck man and hope you feel better

 

[azman857]

Good luck! Good Hunting! We'll hope you will post pics of your new treasures....Oh, and welcome to the group!

 

[deadchef]

does it have a title?

 

[nj1639]

Go for it!
My '77 had a seized engine, 7 thousand miles on and had been sitting since '84/'85.
Four ounces of Marvel Mystery oil in both cylinders and a breaker bar on the crank, a few whacks with a rubber mallet and she runs like a bike with 7 thousand miles on her........you just might get real lucky.

 

[smoker]

Well I got here and it turned out to be a complete turd. Looked nothing like the pics. $150 was as low as he'd go, but I still bought it. Oh well, just gonna cut it up anyway.

 

[Spazpunk]

How bout some pics.

 

[Yamaha_chop]

Sucks that it didn't turn out. My first XS I drove about 400 miles each way to pick it up, then got a raging flu the day I got back. Weird.

 

[smoker]

Sucks that it didn't turn out.

I wouldn't say it didn't turn out, it's just a bit more ratty than I expected. But like I said, I wanted to completely build it anyway, so no biggie.

 

[smoker]

Pic he sent me

I took delivery of

 

[flthead]

if it has a good title ,150.00 is a deal . keep us posted on your build

 

[THE ROLLING BONES]

That bike is in mint condition compared to mine when I first got mine! The first time I saw my bike it was in half! Dude You have a great starter and I would be proud if I were you! Hers a pic of mine just to make you feel better!

 

[lowliferat]

Wish mine was that cherry when I got her. Good score. Watch out there is another one in your future. ... You will hear it calling you. From somewhere in the back of your head. At least mine have done so. The voices of xs's past and future

 

[hardrock785]

you done good, like you said you are going to chop it up anyway. nice score

 

[angus67]

looks like its just missing the headlight, turn signals, and pegs. if your gonna chop it up anyways, you prolly wouldnt want them. The inportant parts for a chop is front end, motor, and a straight frame, and wheels.
