I've got two XS650 bobbers on here right now. When one sells, the other one is no longer for sale. I'd like to keep one until the next one is built. This particular bike is what I call a "rescue". It was a project started by the previous owner as his first build. As first builds go, he didn't do a bad job, but there were multiple things that were on the shady side of the fence. I've corrected about 80% of the shady stuff so far, and the other 20% will be done before the bike sells. You'll notice in some of the pics, there is a six foot tall sissy bar. That was one of the shady things, so it's gone. It was more like a whip antenna than a sissy bar. I've included some updated pics to show the new fender, sissy bar, and tail light that I replaced the old stuff with. As it sits, the bike runs and drives fine. It's a good bike for the highway because the front and rear sprockets have been changed to lower engine rpms at highway speeds. (18/32 combo) The carbs leak a little (but they will be fixed before I sell it) and there are some other odds and ends that I need to do before the bike leaves my possession. Best thing to do is call or PM me and ask me what the current state of the build is and go from there. I can give you the run down of what will need to happen to drive this bike off my property.

Fab specs are as follows......The frame has been back halved to a rigid with zero stretch, a Kawasaki Vulcan front end has been installed with a 21" wheel. Cool old school Zbars are on the bike. The rear fender is the spare tire ring off a 1930 Ford, and the tail light is a 1930 Ford reproduction. Harley Sportster tank with custom brass cap.

As with the other bike, this bike has no turn signals, no horn and no electric start. And the e-start relay is not wired in, so there is no easy way to wire it up for e-start.

Bump. Price reduced to $2400. Just registered and insured the bike so I can start taking it to work. It is a nice running bike, and comfortable for a hardtail.
 
They were on it when I got it, so I have no idea. Just bought a Suzuki Intruder with the same aftermarket forward controls and STILL don't know who makes them. The PO said they are not stock on the Zuke either. Maybe they are ebay cheapies.......
