1978 XS 750 For Sale

Finally got her all together and looking sharp. I was gonna give her a name as it seems like the thing to do these days, but "Thunder Road Pickle Dog Cat" was already taken (http://dicemagazine.blogspot.com/2011/05/good-times-ahead.html). I would have liked to keep her for a while to rip around the city with, but she needs to go to help pay for bigger bikes. Runs really good (pretty fast too), patented Du Keeps muffler baffles work like a charm. "Bark Bark Bark". Removing the airbox and adding the pod filters probably knocked off 5-10lbs. I also changed the bars to prevent limp wrist syndrome. I'm looking to get around $1200-ish from interested mules or associates. This vid is from pre-cosmetic surgery (just did the exhaust).

From the Cabin in the Woods

Gives a new meaning to "chopper". When you get down there by the pipes, it sounds like a helicopter. Works pretty swell too. 1/3

I can't believe it, she runs! Spent the day dismantling/cleaning/reassembling carbs, arguing with the battery (ended up boosting it with the truck. She really spins over that way!), sorting out leaky petcocks, replacing fuel lines, etc, etc, etc. Runs rough but it has no exhaust or air cleaner. Need to get pod filters as the air box is bigger (and uglier) than my head. Anyway, it sure is nice to have a project actually run. Just need battery, air filters, and exhaust of some type or another. Oh, and by the way, it's for sale.
