There is no key for this motorcycle. Toggle switch for power and push button to start. Both are located under the seat. While the bike still has a kickstart it really isn't usable as the rear sets interfere.
REASON FOR SELLING -
The 76 year old owner is an avid builder and collector of mainly XS650 motorcycles. In the past year he fell off his roof and broke his back and the riding position of this motorcycle is just not agreeing with that injury.

My personal notes and opinion of the motorcycle-
This bike is ready to be ridden. It starts and runs easily. It is not a trailer queen, nless that is what you want to turn it into, opefully not..... This is not one of those custom cafe bikes that is horrible to ride. The owner builds his bikes to ride. A lot of time and effort has gone into this motorcycle, nd it shows. The bike is well thought out and utilizes many quality components. I have rode the bike and it has a great feel to it. Since it has been ridden there are a few chips in the paint, ery minor though. Bit of road crud on the front and under the engine. Again this is not my motorcycle so if you have specific questions that I am unable to answer I may need to contact the owner so there could be a little delay in answering. If you want to talk to the owner directly by phone I might be able to arrange that. He does not have email or computer. There is a modest reserve set on this motorcycle. He isn't hoping to cash in on this bike, ust enough to cover his effort and expenses.
This is a 38 year old motorcycle. I nor the owner can warranty it in any way. Sold as-is. I do my best to describe its condition. Please take a look at the pictures carefully. If you need more pictures or have questions, lease feel free to ask.
Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. I can assist with shipping if needed.
Payment- Deposit due within 24 hours and balance within one week unless other arrangements are made.
