Wow man, that bike is super clean!

 

[xschris]

Had some nice weather here today. My wife watched our son so I could do some riding. Put 30mi on the xs650 and 125mi on the xs400. My butt is sore

 

[xschris]

I have found a few 79 2f's on here anymore?

 

[volcomskater77]

wanna tell me what my before was? i believe ets exactly like houghmade's.
yours is freakin beautiful. if i found a nice one for cheap i would restore it just with smaller bars. but there arent many around here. specially nice ones

 

[cmoore352010]

thus my inspiration of what im lookin to turn my 78 into!! OR i can try to just restore the 78 to original, and trade it for one like that!!

 

[xschris]

That is all up to you Btw it cost me about 3k over 12 years

 

[xschris]

Look what I picked up today

 

[bcware]

Where did you get 5 motors? Oh, and my '78 has fins on the points cover.

 

[xschris]

A local yamaha dealer had them they are 79-81, anyone need some parts?

 

[xschris]

Look what I got today. Not sure what brand it is all it says is winning on it. Needs some cleaning, not sure if I will use it on this bike or sell it but very cool to look at

could be a MAC exhaust

 

[bcware]

Fancy! I'd keep it myself. I mean... er. I'd sell it for like 10 bucks to me

 

[xschris]

Thats about what I payed for it.

 

[bcware]

That's a killer deal. The sound those make is lovely.

 

[xschris]

Well I have a another one now! Its a 1980 sg according to the vin 3f900xxxx but it has the rear drum mag. with 9500miles new tires and runs very good. This one it going to be all cut up I will be selling the exhaust and the highway bar and a few other bits that I don't need, so keep your eyes out.

 

[volcomskater77]

i was about to say, your sig used to say,
a member of the cut up a steak, not an xs club.
what made you come to the dark side?

 

[xschris]

I have no problem with cutting up bikes but my 79 is too nice and I have spent too much time and money to do it. Not that have a ugly younger sister its rat bike time

 

[volcomskater77]

nice start. what are the plans? hardtail? brat style?

 

[xschris]

I guess you would call it a tracker. I don't know, but this is where I am at now. Still a lot to do.

 

[volcomskater77]

yeah looks tracker-esque. you know where to draw inspiration from obviously.
