I bought what I thought was a challenging project, it was a 70 XS1b that was in a sorry state, it had no motor or carbs just the bear basic rolling bike. It did come with spiral chrome steel square high rise handle bars that had my friends gagging ( mind you one insisted he wanted them in his garage and is today ) I also bought a 72 that was painted in a brown color that looked like chocolate moose I took a photo of both bikes with my friends sitting on them ( the one on the XS1b has the bars, he's got a good collection of RDs )
it was months later I bought another XS2 inc what was ment to be a box of new parts and two spare motors, it turned out the guy was a crook and he put his old crap in the box but the redeeming thing was one of the motors was a XS1 motor in good condition.
many months of
stripping plating painting, rebuilding the motor etc I had this absolute honey finished which lived in my lounge for a while, then I needed a new project for my itchy feet so it was sold to finance the next project hence that was my biggest mistake
