1979 XS650 Special
Well ... I did it. I bought another one. The bug has bit me I guess. I just love these things.
As many of you have seen I have a 1979 Special which I have enjoyed building thanks to the help of many members here. That bike is right where I want it style-wise, so really the only thing left is tear it down to the frame for pain etc, but what fun would that be? What would i ride this summer?
I found this on Craigslist a few months ago. Ended up texting back and forth with the guy for several weeks, finally going up there, and then finally yesterday this happened.
It's a 1978 standard. It's a wreck as you can see, but that's where the fun starts!
I'm calling her "Smurfette" - you'll see why when I put my spare tank on for mockup purposes.
