Trust me. This becomes a chopper over my dead body. I have no aversion to Specials, even the "stupid" handlebars.If you cut that one up to make a chopper you`ll probably get a XS650 Forum "Intervention"

Beautiful Bike!
I may be going to look at one here soon, same year and model, not for me but for a friend of a friend .....
It's been sitting a long time, since '95 according to the last inspection sticker. But this is what makes it so desirable .....
If it's not seized I'm going to recommend he get it. The owner is asking $1000 but hopefully he'll come down a bit. It's been listed for 10 weeks now so I think he will. This is on Facebook Marketplace. I never looked there much but may start. There's quite a few 650s on there in my area, some for several thousand dollars but most are more reasonable, much more in some cases, lol.

I will be replacing the brake fluid among the first things I do. The brake is functioning.
I actually like those handlebars. One day I'll come across one.
