I recently picked up a project 1977 xs650 for 50 dollar from somone nearby. This is definetly a project. The previous owner felt it was his / her duity to spray paint the entire bike and ugly flat black color and not mask anything!

I felt I owed it to the bike to bring it back from near deth and try and put some life back into her. The motor runs strong, doesnt burn any oil and doesnt leak. It does however need a new battery, new points, carbs need to be rebuilt and some TLC.

I love the look of the bike at the top of the page, these bikes are gorgeous, so i hope i can get the bike close to looking like it should. I'll keep everyone updates and post up some pictures.

A little bit about myself, I'm 24 and work as an Engineer for a small FAA overhaul and repair shop in bloomfield CT. I come from a car background, I just gave up my 450hp Turbocharged Eagle talon Tsi AWD to start working on other projects.

Look forward to contributing to the site.

Chris.
