Hi chaps , first day on this forum but thought can't be a better way to get the info I need than off guys who have been there and got the t shirt .
Anyway I'm about to buy a xs650 to convert to the much repeated flack tracker but my question is will a 1979 special be suitable ? I know the rear wheel is smaller but my concern is more that I read the rear shock mounts are located differently for a lower stance on the special ?
If this is the case is the special not suitable to flat tracker and would I need a standard model ?
I need it to be simple and don't want to be swapping swing arms or anything , also want wire wheels and helpful to know if wire wheels will be a direct swap for mags ?
