    It WAS an xj700 — lol

    yet another case where “I’m gonna BOB it.....”. Becomes “uh-oh, I have NO clue what I’m doing..... I’m in Waaay over my head. Screw it, I’m gonna sell to some poor sucker who has NO clue, and get ALL my money back”

    To be fair, failed bobber projects can be a great source for parts if they have what you need!

    Well he’s correct, it only needs a wiring harness and starter switch to be a pile of junk with a wiring harness and a starter switch.

    It looks to have the genuine Yamaha touring package (full fairing, trunk, saddle bags). The accessories are worth the asking price.

    I suppose this could be made into an interesting pit bike/ride. Most likely for less than the price/cost of one of those bar stool pit bike things. That huge tire & wheel are worth the price, if you need it to match one you already have.

    A little more frame work for a seat and a front hand brake and you'd have something.
