spent the summer on this '73 XS/TX650 bobber build. on road now, approx 1K miles since top end rebuild. all work done by me, it's about my 9th build of various types.
this is not a "project", it's turnkey. i usually build solo rides but with this one you can still take the wife or GF out for a spin.
clear NY Title in my name in hand. BOS will be VERY reasonable...
MODS:
"306" style motor, head is ported, new rings/hone into stock bore (gapped at .012"), 2 new exhaust valves, one new exhaust valve guide, valves lapped, custom exhaust port optimizers into custom 1 1/2" headers with Thrush Cherry Bomb true perf core mufflers, jetted 34mm Mikuni VM carbs, motor painted/polished, sump oil filter has JB weld mod, refurbished clutch, tranny shifts great.
rewired from scratch with 14Ga wire all soldered connections, PMA kickstart only 10,000uF capacitor no battery, electric start deleted, new points/advancer, new reg/rec, new condenser, dual high output Andrews coil, irridium plugs, hi-lo headlight LED tail light conventional turn signals (one missing in pics will be replaced...), no speedo no tach.
stripped to bare frame, all tabs carefully ground off, painted, scalloped seat mod, custom aluminum body panels, new tapered head bearings, knurled steel footpegs and stiffer shifter, lightweight FZR front rotor with SS brakeline, superbike bars- this bike is VERY comfortable and ergonomically dialed in.
you'll get a lot of attention on this ride, and when you twist- it goes, hard. i don't sell anything i haven't thoroughly tested.
i'm in between Owego and Ithaca NY. Northeast regional sale only, no crating or shipping. will meet buyer a hundred miles out or so with deposit beforehand.
