There's one on local Craigs with 13k miles for $4795. <shrug> I dunno 
But then, they have an '04 xb12s Lightning for $5495 - 7,600 miles.
Fly up Friday evening and spend the weekend "flying" back home.

Good lookin' out there Mike. I've been looking all over So-Cal and would consider buying something out of state but Oregon is pretty far away. I'd really like to find any XBS model with less than 10k miles for around $5k. It might mean having a bike shipped to me. FWIW, I bought my bike from the original owner and it only had 2k miles on and I paid $5300 for it four years ago.
Do you have the ability to cut your oil filter apart and see what you have in there?
You can do an awful lot of the rebuild "in frame".... as long as the crank bearings are okay anyway....
And you have the racecar to get ready for Bonneville in the rest of your spare time too huh....
you'd be looking at a minimum of $2000 for a shop to do it....
Yeah, I could cut the filter apart and getting the motor out of the frame isn't too big a deal. You actually have to "rotate" it to get the exhaust off and the exhaust has to come off to get the side cover off. Anyways, once you've done the engine rotation you're only two or three short steps from having the whole motor out.
So not only am I working on the race car (which is 3 hours away from where I live) but I'm also trying to work on my own hot rod as well and now I've got to figure this mess out. And of course I still have my 120 mile commute everyday. I think I'd trade money for time at this point.
My engine looks like the one on top - starter behind the motor over the trans, different side cover, different intake ports, etc.
