1981 Yamaha XS 650 Dual Sport / Street Tracker XS650

For sale is a 1981 Yamaha XS 650 Dual Sport motorcycle. I have owned this bike for the past 6 years and have done a large amount of (tasteful) custom work to this bike. I planned to bring this bike down to the Tail of the Dragon in NC so no expense was spared on handling/style. I will try and best describe this the work that has been done without writing a novel.
First off, verything on the frame was removed and disassembled. The frame was then shaved of all useless brackets/mounts then painted. A swing arm was added/converted from a Yamaha Radian (very popular among street trackers). During the install, added bronze swing arm bushings and new rear shocks to give the bike an aggressive look.
The front forks were completely rebuilt. The lowers have all new seals/boots and were shaved/polished by Hugh’s handbuilt in NC. The fork tubes are new from Mikes XS and have upgraded progressive springs. The triple tree was sand blasted and painted and steering bearings were upgraded from standard balls to tapered rollers.Headlight is square street tracker style from Mikes XS mounted with aluminum Café mounts.
The wheels and tires were also completely disassembled. The hubs blasted, ainted, nd rebuild with new bearings and seals. The rims were professionally polished by Proctors Metal Finishing in Muskegon. The hubs and rims were laced with new stainless spokes and trued. Tires are brand new dual sport from CC Cycle in Muskegon. Front rotor is drilled and a new caliper, aster cylinder, nd brake line finish up the front. (Still needs fluid added and bled). Rear brake hub was polished at Proctors and new pads/springs were installed.
Bars are new dirtbike bars, ounts were blasted painted. Foot pegs were blasted and new mounting rubber and foot rubbers were installed. Shift lever is new “Big foot” shifter (Mikes XS). Seat is custom mounted to hide electronics. Tank has new mounting rubbers and rebuilt gas cap with key. Chain is also new stainless. Most parts were blasted and painted to make this truly a nice bike. I also used a lot of new hardware.
Motor has stock rotating assembly. Hughs PMA kit was recently installed along with a new Pamco electronic ignition. Carbs are also new Mikuni 34MM VMs purchased from 650central. Motor has an updated clutch assembly and new clutch plates. Performance spring kit was also added (Mikes XS). Sprocket shaft seal and clutch pushrod seal were also replaced the motor. Internal motor oil filter was replaced but could use a new door. Exhaust is 2 into 1 with a shorty muffler. Sounds great.
This bike is currently not running good enough to ride. I can get the bike to fire up but have not had a chance to tune the carbs and time the motor. I have all the literature from Hughes, amco Pete, nd650 centraljust can’t find the time to get this baby finished. I am in no need to sell but could use the cash for other projects (The wife is getting fed up with of my toys).
Bike is for sale for $3000 cash (Firm) If you know anything about these bikes you know this is well worth the money. Like I said, don’t need to sell so no low ball offers.
