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

PM sent back. I knew you were the same Danno from the XJ forums, lol. I'm over there too. Just got rid of mine a few months back.

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 ...

[quote="danno"]Don't make another decision that you will regret. That 78 is worth FAR more stock than bobbed,and it will only increase in value if it is not molested. If you want to hack something up, ...

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 ...
