Zombie Bobb build thread in Houston, Texas

Will be keepin my eye open for ya !! Got mine earlier in the week, that u ship.com works well !! Just an option for ya $270ish from North Mississippi to the village of San Anto, cheaper than I could have gone and got it !!

Working out PMA charging issues right now.
 
Awesome brother!!!!! I just got my first bonus of the year and most of it went to my CTSV and bills.

Next bonus is coming in a few weeks and then tax return, so I have the cash, just gotta find the right one.
 
I PMd our fellow brother as he had another buyer offering a non-refundable down payment and he has gotten busy or sold it as I have not heard back. No worries, my bike is waiting for me out there, but I really wanted this one as it was close and the price was decent!!!!!
 
over all 7 15/16" plate to plate ie stock xs 650 width, then 2 1/8" / 3 1/4" center/ 2 1/8"


Swing arm comparisons.
With axles, adjusters, and pivot bolts.
XS650 12.5 lbs
TX750 13.8 lbs.
YZ125 11.8 lbs.
A fair amount of the weight savings come from hollow axle and pivot bolt on the YZ set up about .7 lbs. The YZ pivot bolt and axle are shorter and would not work on a stock frame or swing arm.

The XS and TX750 arm are near identical dimension wise, the TX750 is about 1/2" longer axle to pivot, the shock mount outer flange is a bit wider than the XS650s maybe an 1/8" but the inner mount and all other dimensions are the same.
The YZ arm is about 1/16" wider at the pivot. and the pivot to axle length is 4 1/4" longer. The YZ pivot has beautiful dual needle bearings (4 bearings), needle thrust pivot bearings, and full dirt seals.
The pivot bolt and axles are the same diameter on the 650 and 750 arms. The YZ125 is a little narrower at the axle but there is plenty of room for the brake, sprocket, and tire.
The axle on THIS YZ arm is 20mm the same as the XS. The pivot shaft is shorter and a bigger diameter than the XS shaft so that would mean work to use it on an XS650 frame.

Just ran across a 1987 XS650 that was started and the owner lost interest.

Well, in I come.

He says the title say 1980 after I questioned the year, so I asked him to send me the numbers off the neck:

2FO-218700.

I am trying to determine from the chart below if it ia 78-79 XS-SE Special, or
a 79-81 XS-SG Special. I guess it does not matter.

I am going to look at it today.
 
Paying for it this week.

Waiting to meet up to verify the title matches the bike, but I think it is a done deal.
 
My first thought: "The Hardwood Lowrider"!
I can visualize the rear frame tubes bending on a hard bump.
Imagine trying to comply with our 15" handlebar grip height restriction...

The bike has been ride a bit, and I looked for stress cracks and the like and did not find anything. I will look closer if I get it home.

Can you expound on the 15" comment? 15" from what and in what direction?

Thanks bud!
