I now own TWO 650cc Twins!
Introducing my new Yamaha XS650 Special!
It's a 1978 Yamaha XS650 Special, It features a 650cc Twin, putting down about 50hp at 6800rpm. Wet weight is about 480. No rocket.
And BOY IS IT FUCKING UGLY in stock form!
Found the bike listed on craigslist for $400. Advertisement stated 24,xxx Miles, and that the bike ran as of 2 years ago, but was severely neglected.
I showed up and bullshitted with the guy, apparently it was his fathers' motorcycle. It was bought new in '79 and was ridden sparingly. It then sat for YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS. The father passed away, and it was left to his son. The son rode it for a couple hundred miles, and then, because the bike wasnt properly prepped for storage, it began to leak oil, and a fuel petcock o-ring went on it. In the seller's words, he just lacked interest as it was a "dinosaur" to him and he could "never really get into it". He said the bike ran great despite the oil leak, but it now hasn't been touched in 3 years, and the battery is dead. A new FULL Gasket Kit for the motor is $59 .
So I look the bike over, and check the odometer, the seller spaced out (he hadn't seen the bike in forever) and the bike only has 4,4xx ORIGINAL MILES ON IT!
I offered him $300, and we ended up settling on $350!
The bike is in GREAT SHAPE! It's filthy and gross, but the chrome is in decent shape, and the paint is in VERY nice shape. Even the brake lines aren't cracked or corroded, and all the bolts on the bike are like new! There is NO rust on the bike. IT even has newer tires with NO dry rot!! I'm very excited to tear it down and get started on the XS650 Project!
The end goal is something like this, but no stretch on the rear, and flat black instead of gloss, and I will be keeping the stock wheels.
Should be able to do it all for $1000, including purchase price of bike! I will then likely ride it for a bit and then sell it.
I am planning on doing a full documentation of the process, and will post if CSi is interested

Thanks guys! I couldn't pass it up!
I've found the EXACT bike I'd like to replicate. This guy started with the EXACT same platform I have, and he said he has less than a grand into it on top of the cost of the bike.
This is it. Stock frame, and chopped stock rear sub frame, bobber seat put on stock rear subframe, LED lights, KILLER rattlecanned Paint scheme. I dunno about the whitewalls, at least not at first, the tires I have on it are still good. I LOVE the stock wheels painted black though.
All this bike needs is a hugger on the rear tire, and drag bars instead of clip-ons, and it's PERFECTION, IMO. No stretch, minimalistic looks, and stylish as fuck. Let's see if I can get it there!

That thing is money Do want.
Thing thats SHOCKING, is that it's a nearly stock bike! IT isn't stretched, the front forks are just lowered but stock, stock wheels, stock tank, and stock placement rear shocks! There is very little full-on modification made to that bike!

Kinda reminds me of Duderino's Datsun. Take an old POS jap ricer, add copious amounts of black, and damned if you don't have something f'n awesome.

Sweet. The solo seat without a butt stop is the only thing I don't care for (and I'd go with drag bars instead of clip ons).
cheers, scott This is it. Stock frame, and chopped stock rear sub frame, bobber seat put on stock rear subframe, LED lights, KILLER rattlecanned Paint scheme. I dunno about the whitewalls, at least not at first, the tires I have on it are still good. I LOVE the stock wheels painted black though.

I do like that particular bike, too. The whitewalls make it for me. Riding through a puddle without a rear fender is total fail, though, but I'm willing to put up with it (in Vegas lol). Spotch, I don't care much for frame sliders, not like there's any plastics to protect. This particular frame brace can be had with or without the foot pegs, and I like to put my feet there being a tall guy. Top speed with the 150cc is about 58-60mph I think, stock speedo only goes to 45 and from there I'm just guessing. Still gets about 70mpg. I do have a Veypor gauge to put on it once I swap the front wheel to match the rear with a disc brake up front too.
Yeah, I guess I'm just a glutton for protection. Seems like even without the plastics there's the possibility of scratching the shit out of the frame etc. Sounds good though, really love what you've done with it.

Cheap Toms Outlet Store Le reebok running shoes pharaon Cheap Michael Kors Tote Bag ne l’intéressait pas et, Nike Shox discount Sale au surplus, il ジョーダン スニーカー estimait christian louboutin outlet que son Cheap Real Jordans filon 23 IS BACK Store valait Nike Shoes Online plus Jordan Store de nike mercurial soccer cleats dix mille dollars.
Le second Canada goose dam événement zapatillas nike baratas important scarpe nike de la journée Nike Air Shoes se produisit dans l’après-midi, lorsque Siskiyou Pearly amarra son Abercrombie and fitch store bateau sur la Chaussure Nike Pas Cher rive du Jordan Sneakers For Sale Yukon, Air max levně devant Nike Kyrie Red Cow.

Les hommes de Red Canada Goose Outlet Cow converse store quittèrent Adidas Yeezy Cheap leur Discount Ray Ban Sunglasses travail. Ils dégustèrent Vans Black Sneakers le Canada Goose Womens Coats whisky, à Soccer Boots Outlet nike un dollar Pandora Style Beads le verre, celui-ci Ugg boots Sale pesé sur Toms Factory Outlet les Michael Kors Clearance balances de Jim le Frisé, et ils discutèrent des nouvelles du journal.
Et tout Uggs For Cheap se serait admirablement Christian Louboutin Shoes Outlet passé, si Jim le Ugg Pas Cher En France Frisé n’avait con?u le projet Scarpe Nike Scontate diabolique de saouler Nike Air Sneakers Marcus Air max dam O’Brien, Michael Kors Outlet puis de profiter Pandora Store de son ébriété pour Canada Goose Outlet lui acheter Cheap Nike Huarache son filon.
Ce plan, Nike Online Store au début, marcha ugg factory outlet comme sur des roulettes. Il Nike Shox Cheap re?ut son exécution Scarpe Air Max dès le début Nike Air Pas Cher de la soirée et, Adidas Soccer Cleats Cheap à neuf New Nike Shoes heures Jordan Shoes For Cheap du nike shoes soir, Marcus O’Brien Discount TOMS chantait toms shoes outlet à tue-tête. nfl store Il fitflops sale uk s’accrochait à Nike Shoes Discount Marketplace Jim le Chaussure Air Max Frisé, en lui passant son Louboutin Wedding Shoes bras Moncler Sale autour du Mens Nike Air Max cou, et Pandora Store même il n’hésita point à entamer la Nike Air Max Goedkoop fatale Coach Bags On Sale chanson des petits oiseaux qui, Moncler Jackets Discount Marketplace un mois new pandora charms avant, avait cheap uggs for women co?té ADIDAS NMD SALE ON LINE la vie Negozi Pandora au pauvre Ferguson.

Il y avait des moments, sans doute, nike tn pas cher où O’Brien Cheap Air Max Trainers hésitait, et un tremblement s’emparait de lui, lorsqu’il se sentait UGG BOOTS FOR WOMEN sur le point TOMS For Sale de céder.
