Hello mates,
Looking to get a new project bike, finished the last project and now looking to pick up a XS 650 to work on. I live in North Dakota way out in the badlands and was just wondering if some one within the my area (800 miles) has one around they would want to sell.
Been looking for some time and have stirred up all sorts of interesting barn/shop finds, I figured i would try to "pick" one for a good deal and the adventure/story that goes with "picking", and while i have found a few they are just to far gone in most cases for my willingness haha. Most all have frozen motors or have no compression. I can deal with motor issues just don't want to start off with a major overhaul if you understand. All I ever seem to find that are decent are Maxim's and and at first glance I get all excited then I see the manifold/exhaust and my heart sinks... and I don't want anything to do with that model (no offense to the maxim guys out there).
If anyone out there would like to part with one of their collection PM me. I do keep track of Craig's list and eBay to by the way.
Thanks for your time.
