AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
We acquired this unique Yamaha XJ550 as a trade-in. It was a project of the previous owner and has been completely customized to their own taste. The wooden panniers are particularly noteworthy, but they are also expertly made. This is no botched job.
Features:
- Wooden side cases with the license plate incorporated into them
- Cafe racer seat
- Brown leather accents
- Jama exhaust silencers
This motorcycle does need some work. We inspected it and started it in our workshop. The engine runs nicely, but the starter motor makes a noise while the engine is running. We suspect the starter motor's overrunning clutch is not working properly. For this reason, we are not interested in fully restoring the bike ourselves, but would be happy to sell it to a collector or hobbyist who sees a great project in it.
