Poverty
XS650 Addict
Ive been lurking the forum for a few days and figured I should make a introduction (as recomended by another member
so here it is ..
i started collecting parts for a bobber about 6 years ago .. random things here and there mostly from salvage yards or the random ebay score
which now has lead me to be the proud owner of 2 1/2 xs650s
One of which was one of those random ebay scores
( pic below) .. I got the bike for 900$ locally off ebay 81 special-II .. with plans to molest it with a sawsall .. but after getting it home .. I couldnt bring myself to cut it .. so Im going to cafe it
which I think was also the previous owners plan
the others I grabbed like I said from random places .. a 82 special-II with no engine and a 78 with nothing but a frame and engine so the plan is to cut the 82 up and hardtail it ( I know how cliche right ,lol) then stuff the 78 engine in there .. there isnt much left of the 78 .. im using the frame for a engine stand and everything else from it is either for sale .. trash or has migrated into the 82
so here is a pic of my 81 soon to be cafe .. and a random pic of my little shop ( its not much but its mine hahahah ALL MINE !) you should be able to see the 82 on the bench and the 78 engine and frame under ..
other than that Im here to make friends learn new things and hopefully find some riding buddys
