Thought I'd share with everyone what I've been putting my spare change towards
'79 650. The add sounded like a great deal.... 'xs650 special, runner 600$'
when i showed up to check it out, the bike was under a pile of other bikes and junk.. two flat cracked tires, no engine in the bike, no seat.... I ended up finding the matching # motor in a pile of stuff, and he gave me a spare 650 engine to use for parts if needed.... he threw in the jawa/cz tank and some extras... 400 with og numbers and all the papers

this is the day i brought it all home

and this is where she'll be staying for now. as much as i wanted to do a king an queen, big sissy and taller bars, this tank sits nice and low and i want to use it, so its going to stay low.
I have a lot of ideas kickin' around in my head, and in a month or so I start a 5 month welding course. Hoping to make most of the things I want in class. Until then, ill keep planning
