For sale is my customized 1981 Yamaha XS 650 Special. I originally bought the bike about 5 years ago out of a barn in Granville, Ohio when it was in pretty bad shape. I went to work cutting out all the unnecessary parts and cleaned the lines of the bike up. I got rid of the original gauges, turn signals, seat, seat brackets, lights, license plate bracket, shocks, handlebars, moved the ignition switch, and a few other minor details. I created a custom seat pan and had a custom leather seat sewn to match. The wheels have been powder-coated white and the frame has three coats of a super durable black gloss paint. The tank and side panels are professionally painted gloss black to match.I also rebuilt the motor and replaced almost all parts to make the bike run smoothly. There are new piston rings, all new gaskets, new guide chain, solenoids and plug wires, plugs, clutch cable, customized wrapped exhaust, new rear shocks, new air filters, battery, speedometer, new front and rear brakes, new fuse box and fuses, new fuel lines and filter, and probably a few things I'm forgetting right now. The bike runs and looks great. I had to change the bike to a points system because the original electric start panel didn't work and the replacements I tried were terrible. The bike now starts on the first kick and I haven't had any issues since switching to points. The bike sits low and is very comfortable. It really is a fun bike to ride. I only have 992 miles on the bike since I've owned it. Feel free to email with any and all questions. I have a video of the bike running and if you are interested I can email it to you.
