Hey everyone! This is a really informative site. I've seen quite a few tasteful bikes.
I fix motorcycles for a living. I own a Royal Enfield Bullet 500 Military. I also have a Yamaha Fj1100. My Enfield is going to stay stock. The Fj1100 is getting a newer model transmission and a 1250cc top end.
I thought about stripping both bikes and going cafe at one time or another but there both badass in their own way. So Ive been on the lookout with a little cash on hand. Not to long ago a girl who was working at the shop with me quit. She had some kind of deal with the owner, and so I watched him build a whole motor for this bike with all new parts. After a few months I saw this bike on craigslist and wow, for $500 bucks. So hell I'm going to do my best to get it.
Anyway the kicker to the whole thing is the bike is a 79 Yamaha XS650. Anyone who knows these bikes knows how bullet proof they are. I was really suprised about how many aftermarket parts there are. But alot of stuff will be fabbed, of course.
