Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

In order to help others find info on a particular bike, be sure to put the year, make or model of bike that you are asking a question about, in the Topic Title. This will allow people to pass by posts they have no interest in.
Nice enough but... (XS650 Street Tracker FS)- not mine

I want a exhaust set up like that for my build
I like that a lot. The pipes make it. SR500 gas tank?
Hard to tell from that angle, but it could be an old XS tank as well. Funny enough, a bike like that ought to stand out in this city, but I've never seen it on the street.
The $8k price tag is a tad steep for my blood...

Yeah it doesn't look like it spends much time on the road. Noticed it is listed in Pemberton and the phone number is from up that way. perhaps it lives up there?

That is a 78 style tank that has been debadged I'd say. It is a nice bike but its not worth the asking price, more like $6K max with engine work (none mentioned). Probably more like $5K as it is. Mind you, the market there seems a bit jacked up compared to over here.

XS's are fun to tinker with, and can be made to be stunningly beautiful, but the power leaves a lot to be desired. If I had another, the first thing I'd do is the 270 degree crank mod to smooth it out, then maybe a 750 big bore kit, but you still aren't talking fireball performance.
A lot of people think they are going to hit the jackpot reselling them, but I was lucky to get $1500 for mine, which is probably break even, or a small loss considering I got it almost road worth for $500.
