XS650 Junkie
Hello all, time to throw out some feelers. I am contemplating my next project. Most likely another XS650 project, but one from the ground up and a little more custom. In order to fund that, and clear it with the boss, it's 'one in, one out!' she says.
So here I am. Possibly ready to part with my loved, rebuilt 1976 XS. There is a fairly exhaustive rebuild thread within the forum, but here are the basics, thanks for reading.
- Motor completely rebuilt, 1st over piston bore, w/ matching new pistons. Original mileage was 11k. About 1k on the rebuild.
- Matching motor/frame SN.
- Upgraded 3rd gen. 35mm forks & 4 piston Brembo caliper, w/vapor honed 1pc. rotor.
- Freshly powder coated frame, tank, covers, and all matching small parts.
- Fresh stainless fasteners throughout.
- Tank has been lined by professionally lined at GTL in LA/CA.
- 18" front and rear wheels with new rims (wider than OEM) laced to stock hubs
- New Pirelli Sport Demon tires
- 100% new electrics, with a Pamco e-advance system, stock alternator, new Electrosport combo R/R.
- Title in hand
- No leaks.
$3000 obo. I might be crazy, but this is where my gut told me to start, based on the work and expense that went into this thing. That said, I am a reasonable man, and open to reasonable conversations to make a deal. The bike is located in south Orange County, CA.
There is a lot I can mention, as I know this bike in and out. I am happy to discuss with any serious buyers. I have a ton of spare parts, an extra motor, engine stand, etc. I have spent a few years in 'Yamaha' headspace, and love it! These 650's are fantastic machines with a great amount of product and support still in the market.
Ask away, questions welcome.
