My Chrome Beauty for sale
I really don't want to do this but I'm putting my 79 up for sale. I can almost guarentee this is one of the nicest XS's you will see. No corners were cut when I restored this bike. It has approx 1100miles on the restoration.
It has two issues. It will need the 2nd gear fix (only skips under full throttle.) and the front tire is bad (it's not completely round so it gets a vibration at high speeds.) It's completely driveable the way it is, but if your a perfectionist like me you will want to fix them.
It gets looks and complements everywhere I go. It's a very fun bike. The only reason I'm selling it is because I have too many toys and I don't have enough time to drive this bike the way it deserves to. I really want it to go to a good home.
I have well over $8000 in this bike. I know the price is high but it's a sacrafice at $6500!
