Guys I am now asking $2200 OBO for the bike, found the house we want and need to get my down payment finished off fast. I am in Orland Park, Illinois, and can deliver a reasonable distance. PM me for me number or email address or request it in a post here and I'll contact you. Thanks!

update, need a peanut tank. will trade the exhaust for a sportster tank or the like.

Picked up a basket case 82 XS650 and it came with a Kerker full exhaust. Its in decent shape, one small dent on her. Chrome finish, PM me if you're interested and I will get pictures up here after work. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

Buying a house in the winter, and need some money for a down payment. This bike got the royal treatment as soon as I bought it. 13,xxx original miles, runs like a top. Clear title in hand, needs nothing at all. Make me an offer, please don't low ball, a lot of time was put into this bike, I...

Welp, she's done. My first cafe racer turned out pretty well, I think. Let me know what you guys think. She might be for sale, too. Need to buy a house soon and the bigger the down payment the better, so if anyone is interested pm me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

I've considered it, I did not know that the 850's used 37 mm but I have looked into various newer crotch rocket front ends. This build was on a budget though and I couldn't find the right deal. Now that I know that I may look for those. Thanks for the tip! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -...

Yeah I'm not sure what to do about that, I want to chop the stock fender up so it's a lot smaller and throw it back on. I just don't think I can make it turn out how I want it to. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

Well it's almost done! Got the headlight mounted, the taillight working, the seat laced onto the fender, just a few pieces to buff and make pretty now. If you're wondering why it's in a house, it's really hot out here and we brought it in the AC to work. Let me know what you guys think. It's...

I couldn't help myself, I had to see it with the seat and tank on. I'm going to repaint the side covers, not happy with the look they have. They need some white on them. But I'm going to get it running and finished then redo them just so I can ride it before the season ends. Sent from...

Thank you! Had an interesting idea while cleaning the sprocket off. See what you guys think. I think it's kind of retro. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

Thank you. I won't let myself see the tank or seat on the bike until everything is done. I have an R1 taillight that fits perfectly in the tail fender that I still have to figure out as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

They're made for a Harley, I got them off eBay and they have no stickers or emblems on them anywhere. They fit perfect though and the cables thread right in. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

The bike isn't finished yet, but it will be very soon. I'll post some pictures along the way of the frame and where it sits now. If you look closely in the second picture you can see the turn signals. When I chopped the frame off it left two ugly holes, so I decided to make them useful and...
