For Sale - Price reduced to $500

[OLD ROOKIE]

Price Reduced $500 hate to see it wasted. If no one calls, I'll let me son part it out. If close by, I help transport.
1981 SX650 Special for sale. $1200 $1000 for offer. Hopefully I can get this to who loves the XS650 and wants one intact and near original I'm 67, a driveway mechanic with a sore back. I built my garage out years ago and now I regret it. My son recommended I ride more and wrench less. (Let it go dad.) I rode a 2004 Harley Roadster the last two years. I purchased this motorcycle this March 2021 with 27700 miles and rode her close to 6K. This is a good opportunity if you want to get into vintage MC’s. Hopefully, however gets it will keep her intact.
Included:

• Valid Title
• $500 Mikuni Carb kit purchased and installed a year ago.
• (I never really got them synced all the way. Definitely added some snap to the ride)
• Original Carbs (need work). Many extra parts
• Extra TCI black box in working condition.
• Lower case with gears with a nice lower cam chain and guide (someone may have been starting a rebuild?)
• two nice matching side covers
• Another lower case and cylinder head
• OEM master cylinder and lever for rebuild
• Extra mirrors and taillights
• Stud set from 1977 engine.
• Extra Kick starter mechanism
• Extra OEM rotor (needs rewound
• Two sets of pod air cleaners.

Work and improvements I did:

• Installed new clutch screw lever and guide rod and seal
• New clutch and throttle cable. Shifts well.
• re-installed all the safety relays
• after I did that, my headlights, tail lights and blinkers worked well
• Installed a new wiring harness
• Changed front fork oil
• Replaced OEM shocks with Hagon Shocks
• Installed Nissin V Star Master cylinder with braided brake line.
• Replaced glass fuses with blade fuses (pretty ugly job)
• Made a regulator rectifier per directions on XS 650 Forum
• Installed new petcock and new round slide Mikuni 34

Brakes work well. Starter needs adjustment. Nice shocks. Battery removed. Shines up real nice.... Has a lot of patina.
Good chrome. Blue paint job was awesome but was abused by storage. Tank O.K. Bike needs a top end refresh or new valve seals.
If you respond, please be patient. I still work and sometimes can
