im looking for a 70's Yamaha XS650[views:1906][posts:7]_____________________________________ [Jun 16,2006 7:14pm - KeithMutiny ""] or anything with the same frame, preferably even bigger displacement. im starting a new project, it doesnt have to be pretty, just run fine, with a solid frame, everything else will pretty much be scraped anyway. ...just incase someone has one like, laying around thier backyard or something. Let me know, ill come get it. |
| __________________________________________ [Jun 16,2006 7:40pm - davefromthegrave ""] i got an 86 xs650 with a bad rod bearing. Make me an offer, and I'll decide whether or not I'm willing to part with it. |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 19,2006 5:00pm - KeithMutiny ""] [img] [img] this is basically what im doing, not that anyone cares. but i think the 86 is too modern, i need the older frame style. |

| __________________________________________ [Jun 19,2006 5:07pm - davefromthegrave ""] that thing is sweet |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 19,2006 5:15pm - KeithMutiny ""] yea, i can build it into the bobber style chopper for under 3 grand, and with a little welding and cutting skills. I saw one last week and now i am obsessed, i must build it! |
| ________________________________ [Jun 19,2006 6:50pm - INFECT ""] fuck yea man, im working on turning my 81 xj550 into a rat/cafe racer but its hard with all the gay 80's trim and mag wheels. those 650s are nice, i wish i had a twin, balancing the floats on 4 carbs is a pain in the ass |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 19,2006 10:22pm - KeithMutiny ""] i was shocked when i talked to a bunch of people that did it, when they were telling me how cheap they were to build, so now i set a goal that by the end of july, ill have mine on the road. |
