OK, I might have a line on an old XS650 in decent shape cheap, and I am thinking of picking it up as a project. It's in decent shape, but could use some TLC. If I do pick it up I'm not sure what I want to do it it yet. I'm thinking of either cleaning it up and keeping it relatively stock, turning it into a "street tracker", turning it into a 'cafe racer, or turning it into an old school frisco style chopper. Right now I'm leaning toward the chopper, I've ridden two foot-clutch bikes, one was a 1953 45" Harley with jockey shift and the other was a rat-chop rebel 450 with a suicide shifter. I'm thinking the XS with a rigid frame, sprung seat, and a suicide shifter might be a nice addition to the garage. What do you guys think?
