82 xs650 cafe bike san diego $1600 bought this a while back and have just lost interest in it, it needs tires and something sorted out with the charging system and it should be good to go. i have a title for it, however it has not been registered in many years so if registering in CA, back...

so i got some rear shocks off a triumph thruxton for my cafe build, they are pretty long and the chain is rubbing the swing arm some. just wondering if anyone has crafted up some kind of roller or has any input for when i attempt it tomorrow.

So i picked up an '83 for $450, it ended up having a seized engine that will be somewhat costly to rebuild, there are also A LOT of back fees on the CA registration. So basically I'm either looking for a good deal on a running engine, or a whole new bike. I am located in San Diego, but am...
