XS650 Addict
Bought this engine from a fellow forum member several months back thinking I'd put it in a framer. My plans have changed, my storage solution and workshop space isn't an option anymore, so I need to downsize. I have not run it, as it's still in the crate from when I purchased. Complete, with exception of a clutch worm gear - former owner had a hand clutch setup on it. Did take off the stator cover and turn it over - it is free, and has strong compression.
Hugh confirmed via email that this was the engine he built for himself in late 2012, but ended up selling - here's his original listing with a full parts breakdown:

Here's the list of parts if you really don't want to click the link above - accents in bold by me:
Asking $2k picked up in San Francisco, CA 94118 - already crated, can help you get it in your truck, van, or whatever. Good opportunity to get a really nice, well-built engine at a significant discount - definitely relative to its original price, and certainly less than it would be to build from the ground up.
Will ship wherever you like at your expense - and up to you to do the digging on shipping. For reference, it was about $280 to ship the 24" square / 220 lb. crate cross-country to me via ForwardAir.
Still crated, so no pictures available - I can try to find some, but I'm unable to access my storage for a week or so.
