  • Nice XS Chopper on Ebay

    Just thought some might appreciate this...

    Ebay urls don't link for me for some reason. Here's the ebay item number:

    330253285378
    Tim Ripley - Gaithersburg, MD

    23mm float height
    120 main jets
    42.5 pilot jets
    drilled stock airbox with K&N
    Jardine 4 to 1 Exhaust
    spade fusebox
    1st and 2nd gear fix

    That's pretty cool. Looks like he still kept lots from the original. The chain mod is neat, looks like he used the original middle drive and braced it from the outside.
    Weird air filters, don't know what the fuel lines are doing?

      The fuel lines are a bit confusing with the double T thing going on. My guess is he started with the octy and that was his way of losing it.

        Pretty cool. Looks like the same swingarm that our own XSCHOP used. I emailed the seller to request better pictures of his forward controls.

            Wonder if that guy has seen what kind of bikes they can get for 4500 bucks. Late 90's model anything just about.

              That is very interesting. The passenger wouldn't even be close to the driver. She'd be on her own...

              I like the paint on that tank too.

                It's different .. it's nice, for what it is ... BUT 9K .. For 9K you lads in the states could have a boat load of 11s. It's very difficult to sell personal taste ..

                  http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=330253285378

                  It will let you copy and paste the link if you save it to My Ebay first.

                  I'm havin a hard time hate'n this, alot of work went into building this bike.

                  This one looks like it belongs to that HAMMERHEADS1st guy, that had problems here a while back. Something about "Where's my Tank?"

                        You don't even have to save it in your my ebay. All you have to do is copy the listing link. Like if you did a search and saw that one. The link that you would click on to open the auction page will work too. Just right click the link and 'Copy Shortcut' (explorer), 'Copy Link Location' (Fire Fox).

                          Love the passenger seat, wonder if it's functional or just for show. Wouldn't work for my SWMBO - she likes to hold on to me

                            I guess its a suicide seat.


                            But like another said, for 9k I'd go buy me a 1300 V-Star brand new with less than 1 mile on it. And a warranty!!
