Count me in please.

This may not be for you since you want to build. But I can't weld and would have to pay someone. So this is the route I took.

Ok. Thanks.

Do you have a title for the frame? If so what are you going to ask for the frame? Thanks

What did you decide to do? Hopefully you can come up with a cheap solution. If you get desperate and want to take a long drive I have this frame and title.

Forgive my ignorance. But are you saying you can put a 447 crank in a 256 case? I know you can swap cams but I didn't know you could swap cranks. This may change everything for me,,,,lol.

That's a 77 engine. But man. I hate to tear it apart to vapor blast it. Bit if I don't the money on the vapor blaster will be wasted,,,lol.

The original case IIRC did leak even after it was welded,,,I think. I think that's when I decided to pull it apart and have him weld it on the inside too,,,maybe. Here's what my bike looked like when I brought it home. A nice Maroon color. Then it went through a bobber phase with a peanut tank...

So He wouldn't come off the $600 because he SAID his phone was blowing up with guys wanting it. I just sold a Goldwing for way more than I expected so I didn't mind giving him his price for what I saw. The carbs appear to be nos Sudco Mikuni. I'll have to pull them apart and see what they look...

Thanks for the offer. I'm in Illinois so there would be shipping. But at this point in time I'm not wanting to do a full engine rebuild. But I may in the future if this new one I drug home today turns out to be a dud,,,lol. Not in any hurry but if you decide to tear into it let me know. Thanks

Maybe it was hard to kick because I had it upside down,,,,lol. Just kidding.

It was well over 5 years ago when I rode it. I don't remember if it rattled or not. But it sure did smoke. Before I just tore it apart I was trying to kick it on the stand I have it on. I only got 60psi compression on each cylinder. But I was having a hard time holding it still and kicking at...

Here's what my rods look like now. I guess my choices on this one are a full rebuild $$$$, or throw rings,wrist pins, and valve seals on it and go.

The title is for the 83 HACKED gframe. Did you see the frame Gary,,,,lol.

The new motor is a 77. The vin on the bike matches the title.

So here's the story on my bike. It didn't look like that when I got it. It was kinda a junker. Didn't run, smashed up tank off something else and spray painted. No side covers. I had no idea it was a XS2 or what it was supposed to look like. I bought it for $500 to build a bobber. Brought it...

So I take it you guys are saying it's a good deal and I should get it, and hope the motor is good?

Is the Boyer ignition desirable? He said the motor is from a donor 78-79. Will send pic of vin. The chopped up frame that matches the title is a 83. So I'm guessing the motor will work in my 72. Just do I want to risk it being any good,,,,lol.

So I have a chance to get this abandoned project for $600. The guys says it was a running bike with 12k on it when he tore into it 15 years ago to build a street tracker. He says it ran good back then or he wouldn't be using the motor, or have painted it. He says there's 2 nos Sudco Mukini race...

Thanks guys!!
