CUSTOM XS650 RIGID CHOPPER
too many projects I need to finish, hate to let this one go, it's been good to me, but I the funds will be put to use finishing my other bikes.
name: Steve
location: Va Beach
price: $4,000 FIRM (I'm in NO hurry to sell it)
1976 yamaha XS650 custom chopper
3" stretched rigid frame (powdercoated black)
38 degree rake
2" under springer front end (powdercoated black)
skinny 21" front spoked wheel/tire (chrome)
16x5.5 spoked rear wheel w/ 180 rear tire (chrome)
11.5 rear rotor (chrome)
harley softail rear caliper
NO FRONT BRAKE
standard shift/clutch setup
bars welded directly to upper triple clamp
solo seat/3"springs
forward controls
1.75" exhaust, no baffles
harley peanut tank, striping by Igor
hi-flow fuel petcock
38mm CV carbs w/ pod filters
internally stock motor
tires are 80%
brakes are almost new
recently replaced sprockets/chain
no leaks, no smoke, starts very easily (KICKSTART ONLY, no electric start)
I have no idea how many miles are on the motor. It starts/runs/shifts great.
THIS IS NOT A SHOW BIKE! it's got some nicks and whatnot from normal riding and whatnot. There's no kickstand on this bike, I just park it on the footpeg. It's been my daily, and only transportation for the last 2 years. It's pretty dirty at the moment, but I'll do a full detail on it before sale.
I do not reccomend this bike for a beginner. It's easy to ride, don't get me wrong, but it's a bit of a different kind of ride. it's loud, it's low, it gets alot of attention, but you're not going to go out hitting the twisties or acting a fool on it too much. It wasn't built for that. It was built to cruise around on and relax.
Will have a different tag bracket/tail light on it than what's in the pics. I've been having issues with the mounting bolts on the billet bracket, so I'm going to put the old chrome steel braket/tail light back on it. I have the rear fender/sissybar setup still, but is not currently on the bike. I prefer it fenderless
The bike is not currently inspected, will need at least a left mirror and a horn to get inspected. (I usually put a cheap bicycle horn and mirror on for inspections)
Feel free to ask any questions. I built this bike a few years ago, I know it inside and out, and can answer any question you may have.
NO TEST RIDES WITHOUT CASH IN HAND. I have too much time invested in this bike to risk any joyriders dropping it. It's nothing against anyone.
before anyone asks, it's nowhere near as uncomfortable as it looks, lol.
*EDIT- I'll be happy to repaint the sides of the tank flat black on BOTH sides, I realize not everyone wants to ride around on a bike with "freak" painted on one side.
