FS - 78 XS650 Daytona Beach, Florida

I void warranties.
Hello all! I'm new here to the forums, and I've recently picked up 2 bikes to restore for my wife and I, an 82 GPZ550 and a 78 XS650, I'm set on keeping the GPZ and will have a build thread soon in the projects section, but I'm looking to sell my Yamaha XS650, with title, and brand new mikuni carbs, throttle cable/splitter, filter pods from dime city cycles, I still have all the parts including the original carbs that go with it.

Here's a shot the day I brought it home.

and of the new carbs.

Right now, as it sits, the new carbs are on the bike along with the new throttle cable, the cable will need to be shortened and 2 of those little solder on brass cylinders will be needed to do so, the seat has no material on it, but I do still have the cover, the front brake lever, headlight, and side cover panels, signals are all off the bike but are included. I havent had much time to tinker with it yet, We've managed to get it to fire shortly but not run continuously, compression feels strong on the kick, electric starter will need replacing or repair, found a palm sized dent in the tank on one side when i went to strip the paint, no battery included.

Looking to get 1200 for it, but will entertain all respectable offers, I would also be willing to trade for another smaller displacement titled bike for my wife, something like a small CB, RD, GPZ/KZ preferably something running under 400cc.

I live in the Daytona Beach area, but frequently travel to Orlando, Tampa, and Sebring Florida areas and can even deliver within a reasonable distance, reply or pm with any offers/questions.
 
Oh, also the original airbox is not included, it was in bad shape and I ended up throwing it away since I ended up using the filter pods.
 
Here's the bike as it sits, pictures taken today, I just put a coat of primer on the tank to keep it rust off it, salt in the air here really loves bare metal.

This is the key cylinder how I got it, unbolted obviously, but I've removed the pins to be able to turn it on/off with a flathead.

This was the ding I discovered hiding under body filler when I stripped the paint from the tank.

The right side looks good though

Still have the material for the seat, I was planning on cleaning up the seat pan but it was pretty rusty so I planned on making my own.
