76 yamaha xs650

Oh the possibilities!

Origins

Was out of town to get some fresh air for a bit. Scrolling through marketplace in Colorado and found this guy. I have been looking for an affordable XS650 for quite some time and thought this was a perfect start.

Frame is bent and butchered up but nothing that cant be worked with and redesigned. Welds are less than ideal where the hardtail was added so a complete rear end will need to be fabricated. Missing the carbs, exhaust, wiring harness and other smaller components but the motor has great compression and opportunity to see the road again.
