Do you have a picture of your king and queen seat? I'm interested, thanks.

I have one from my 79 XS750 Triple. I believe it would fit, very similar. Let me know your dims.

I'm interested in the seat, but for my 79 XS 750 Special Triple. If the seat pan for this 650 doesn't match up, I think I can reset it on my current seat pan. Let me know what you need for it. Many thanks!

Received the O rings from you today Gary. Many thanks, I owe you one...or two!

Many thanks, I would appreciate that. The front brake master cylinder is the same between 650 and 750 models. I am unfamiliar with the JIS P40 classification. Is that the size or material? I heard that only EPDM rubber will stand up to brake fluid. My mailing info is: Evan Bevirt, 9745...

much appreciated.

Hello all, I have not posted in a long while. I have two questions for the right persons. 1) I have an 79 XS 750 Special...not 650.

Much appreciated. I know I'd never find another this nice. My first motorcycle was an 81 XS, so this was a nostalgia trip. I'm one of those guys that restores something to perfection then goes looking for another bike to rebuild. Since I lost my wife to cancer, rebuilding bikes maintains my...

I am considering selling my 79 XS Special, and will be taking it to the North Carolina rally as well as to Barber Vintage Fest directly afterward, if you want to see it. If anyone is interested I will bring the title and paperwork along. This is a low miles unmolested orignal in perfect working...

OK, much appreciated, if fuel is at the ready nearby, I'm going to leave the fuel can at home.

Riding down from StLouis this weekend. Looking forward to meeting everyone. My thoughts are on gas availability, given the hurricane priority, etc. Where is the 'local' gas station near Iron Horse? I hate bringing fuel cans, but will if it's a good idea.

I'm coming from St Louis to join the fun. After this I'm heading over to Alabama and Barber Vintage Moto weekend. You gotta enjoy the fun while the riding is good. Remember, once winter sets in it's a long wait.
