Danno, I believe you may have just saved an original 1978 standard. |

And I would do it too. Where are you again?
Edit: Nevermind, I still have your old PM. You're about a 4 hour drive. That's far, but it's not impossible. Maybe we can still work something out. ... |

You've seen the only pic I have anyway, lol. I had a feeling you'd be replying. What I've been seeing as of late is that stock bikes like mine are selling for no more than 2000-2400 bux, but the comp ... |

I bought a '78 standard that is in pretty good shape with the exception of the tank, which looks like it had a bad date with a hammer in two spots. What are these bikes worth in stock, restored condit ... |

Just let us know how that chain works out. I'm doing a 4" stretched softy and I'd like an idea of what length chain will work without having to break off links. |

I'm digging the bike. I'm not usually into stock framed bikes so much, but you really set it up perfectly. Good job, man. I think you should be able to get at least 3g's for it. |

Well, just sold the XJ 650 this past week, so I'm gonna get started chopping the basket case XS 650 I've got first. I'll worry about the title issue later. |

I actually might have changed my mind on my plans for the XS. The greenie might get a restoration, and my basket case XS will get the chopper treatment instead. Had the wife out on the XS tonight (fi ... |

Here's a pic of my '78 XS 650. Crowded garage, so the pic kinda sucks. I'll get a better pic later.

I just recently sold a '75 XS 650 and upon seeing it leave in the truck, I realized I screwed up. So the search was on to find another XS! I came across a $250 basket case with no title, and picked ... |
