Picking up my XS Sunday

Hi All,
I had been looking for an XS650 to build into an early 60's type cafe racer and I found a '74 fairly close to me. From the poorly lit pictures it looks to be fairly intact, if somewhat rusty. The current owner has had it for 5 years, but never tried to get it to run. He has it stored inside, but it's obviously spent a number of years out in the elements. For my purposes, though, that's not a biggie as alot of the stock stuff will be changed anyway. And the price was right ($300). I'll post my progress.
Mike G.

Well, here's my diamond in the very rough. Laughing

But, hey....at least the tires held air.

Welcome, and good luck.
You'll probably end up, like the rest of us, spending $3,000. on a
$2,000. bike and loving it anyway.
