XS650 Enthusiast
Hey everyone, this one stings a little, but here goes. Up for sale is my '77 XS650 hardtail project. I started this project way back in 2013 when this forum was in it's infancy. I loved coming on here and seeing all the cool builds by everyone and was fascinated by the creativity and inspiration. Sadly that was long ago and the same passion I once had for this project is no longer there. I've been divorced, moved three times, and had two more kids since then and have put my time into work and other hobbies. To get this far and have to give up on it sucks, but I know in my heart I have truly lost interest and it will never be completed as long as I hold onto it and it is just taking up space. It's been forever since I have messed with it but below is what I know to be fact. If anyone is needing any more pictures or information, feel free to ask and I'll take whatever you need. You can also PM me and I'll give you my phone number and answer any questions about the bike you want.
It runs, has great compression, but needs the carbs balanced.
