Yamaha Bobber description

Here is a project bike my daughter and did over the winter of 2014.  Please note 'project' and not 'replication'.  To my knowledge, the US Amy never used a 650 Yamaha. My daughter chose the theme, dedicated to my own Army days. 

This is a 1977 XS 650.  If you are familiar with them, you know that they are very easy to maintain and practically indestructible.  If you ride it every day, it normally starts 2nd kick.    I start it and ride around my place every couple of months and it still starts with 3-5 kicks.  It does pop and crack a bit until it warms up after that amount of time but that's expected.  The electric start is not hooked to a switch but is still functional for when ever you would like to use it.  (I'll show you).

Please note that the battery box shown in some of my early pics was removed when I re-did some wiring.  The battery is now open air.

This is a very fun bike.  I generally only ride it to bike nights or to scoot around town for an errand. It gets a lot of attention and could easily be a daily rider.   I have a couple more projects in mind, so time to clear the stables.

Tires and battery are excellent. All OD Green paint is powder coat.

This is local pick-up only unless you arrange all shipping.  $200.00 Pay Pal deposit. Cash in my driveway for the remainder.  No exceptions.
