Welcome to the sale of the best XVS650 Dragstar Bobber on here, totally awesome looking machine with only 12,450 miles on it, newly completed, new conversion hardware fitted, brand new seat, wheels de chromed and newly powder coated satin black, new Yamaha wheel bearings fitted and brand new front and rear tyres, custom powder coated bars, recent MOT, full service just completed,  carbs have been balanced tuned and adjusted and runs spot on, new oils and filter, new brakes pads, new spark plugs, new fuel filter, new brake fluid, new shaft oil, drive shaft removed and re greased, this bike is ready for its new owner and needs for nothing. 
Revised low reserve on this, not only making this the best bike on here, but also the cheapest. 

The bespoke single seat conversion is beautifully engineered and the leather seat is the best you can get in both terms of quality and comfort, it is made from thick steel pan and premium leather with cushioning that won't deform. Ford retro brake light with super bright LED's, side mounted number plate holder, made for this specific bike, not one size fits all from China. The conversion looks like it left the Yamaha factory with it and is made from top quality materials and then powder coated, this is the real deal. It looks even better in the flesh assure you.
Brand new conversion just finished, wheels have been de chromed and powder coated, all new Yamaha wheel bearings, new front and rear tyres  with about 50 miles use since fitted, brand new seat, new custom super wide handle bars that fit under the yoke, so no risers, braided front brake hose, brand new Ford retro light with super bright LEDS. 
Overall the bike is in excellent condition, The chrome work is in very good condition, has some small marks as per pictures. The paintwork is excellent and the tank has been de badged no one wants Dragstar written on their bike, and has just been professionally prepped and sprayed in gloss black.
This bike has clearly been pampered and spent its life in warm garage being polished more than riden and has now just been fully serviced.
Starts on the button even from cold, runs and rides as one would expect, no noises, crunches or smoke or anything untoward, the gear selection is crisp and precise, basically top bike. Just to have the wheels de chromed, powder coated new bearings fitted and new tyres was over £400, this bike is going to be bargain for someone. 
Classic looks with none of the drawbacks of vintage bike, like constant tinkering and breaking down. With this, you just get on start, ride, clean repeat. 
As mentioned before, the bobber conversion is purely aesthetic, no changes have been made to the frame or set up, it is all as Yamaha designed it, and as such you get fantastic over engineered, bullet proof bike that if you service it every year will just go on and on.
The Bobber conversion gives the appearance of hardtail but it still retains the mono shock so is super comfortable, plus the seat is sprung for bit of added comfort.
The  exhausts sound absolutely epic, full bore replacement not just slip ons, and with brand new titanium wrap, you won't be rocking up anywhere discreetly but think of the pleasure it will give your neighbours. The exhaust has some minor marks on it, see pictures,  hard to notice though.
This bike gets lot of attention, people always asking what it is and if you want to sell it ,be prepared to take ages to get anywhere.
I will provide the original risers in case you want to change the style of bars.
Mileage may go up by few miles.
