Where is this at?

15 miles east of Wichita

What a shame.

 

[tfe1870]

Gee, Wichita is not that bad

No, I meant that it’s a shame that someone cut up a nice old motorcycle to make a hardtail - and then didn’t finish it.

So many of those projects start and then die like that. If they hadn’t taken a sawzall to it in the first place, someone could be enjoying restoring that bike and bringing it back to life as a rideable classic.

Hi Pete,
OTOH, someone who is thinking of going hardtail on an unmolested XS650 could buy that hardtail frame, bolt all his existing bike's hardware into it and swap it all back when he realized how uncomfortable a ride a hardtail gives you.

 

[Joey Ross]

Any idea how I can get it titled?

 

[tfe1870]

not certain about the procedure but i understand that its simple since its an antique . am going to courthouse later this week and can ask or you can call vehicle registration at your county courthouse.

 

[Joey Ross]

Well, let me check that out, I will be in Eureka on Saturday.

 

[Joey Ross]

Ok, I would need a bill of sale. Cherokee county registration said that's all I'll need. I will buy it Saturday. You can text me at 620-210-0345, and we can work out the details.

I agree. These motorcycles are butchered as bobbers and left to rot way too much.
