Re: 1977 XS750 to XS885D - Just riding it now
I'm selling it for real this time. Here is the EBay listing: http://www.ebay.com/itm/151735051953?forcerRptr=true&item=151735051953&viewitem=
Re: My BRAT 1979 CB650Z - Tools down - Done
Fair enough. I'm in favor customization, but I'm even more in favor of patient craftsmanship. I also like builds that work with the original style of the bike. Just opinions. That is my bike, rebuilt completely. The build thread's in my sig.
Re: My BRAT 1979 CB650Z - Tools down - Done
Maybe I'm just getting older, but that was a pretty nice bike to begin with. I'm not sure you improved it. Those original side covers were pretty nice. Tin-snipped aluminum, not so much.
Re: 1977 XS750 to XS885D - Just riding it now

My favorite quote from the ad, "The engine has been tore down and all the functioning parts have been replaced." .... so you didn't replace the non-functioning parts? Got it.
Another gem, "I had to have everything extremely clean to achieve a powder coat on the wheels and frame." ... Yes...
Re: 1977 XS750 to XS885D - What's it worth? Looking to sell.
Thanks for the vote of confidence. I started it up today for the first time since fall. I didn't have the time to actually ride it, as I was on kid duty, but just hearing it fire up and idling made me second guess whether or not I...
Re: 1977 XS750 to XS885D - What's it worth? Looking to sell.
I accepted an offer for a job out in Seattle, and given how much I have to worry about before the move, I'm debating selling the bike. I have no idea what a reasonable price for it is. I probably have >$5k in it at this point, but I...
