Hey crew. Just picked up this XV750 for a little 500x500 challenge we have going in the Portland area next spring. The goal is to spend less than $500 on a bike, then all go for a 500 mile weekend ride. So, here's the ride. I'll document progress and also how much I spend on it here for fun and also just to keep track.
What I have...
- XV750 - non-runner (but titled)
- Tires - probably good enough
The plan...
- Get it running (and reliable enough for a 500 mile ride... hopefully)
- Make it look cool (just because)
-- Going for a solo seat + sissy bar + cargo rack treatment. Sounds weird, I know, but I have a vision.
What I need...
- Battery
- Headlight
- Seat
- Metal (hopefully rusty metal)
Spent so far...
- $200 (bike)
