I built this Sportster in 1996. I don`t think I ever heard it called a street tracker back then. It had a 1200 kit, Buell thunderstorm heads, screaming eagle drop in cams, S&S lightweight flywheel, 44mm Mikuni and Supertrapp pipes. It actually ran pretty good back then. I sold it in 2005 with 144 mi on it.I can't wait for Phil to build a Harley street tracker
Man you build nice stuff!I built this Sportster in 1996. I don`t think I ever heard it called a street tracker back then.

"The bikes were know(n) for having trouble with 2nd gear."
Looks like a ‘75 standard possibly. Dash, fuel cap, shock angle and brake caliper are my catches right off the bat.
All of the other big Yamahas had 2nd gear issues for a time. Not the XS650.
It was particularly evident in the FJ1100 and 1200. I had one, and after the second gear problem manifested itself I was very sad to sell it because some of the parts necessary for the engine rebuild were unavailable.
those are always the parts I’m looking for!
Same bike. Different owner, Different price.
There about 1/2 hr away from here in at least a foot of snow so he might be willing to come down a bit on what he thought they were worth
It’s now worth $100. Maybe less. Minnesota has more classic bikes than any place in the world.There about 1/2 hr away from here in at least a foot of snow so he might be willing to come down a bit on what he thought they were worth
