Sorry guys, I thought I got to everyone via PM. My apologies! The only thing left from the bike are the exhaust and the swing arm. I also have coils/plugs/rectifier regulator unit. I may come across other partds as I continue the long overdue cleaning out of the garage. Sorry again for the...

Hey everyone, I'm clearing out the garage, making room for other endeavors. All parts are off a under 20k mile bike. With that in mind, here's what I need to get rid of. All offers entertained! Engine cases, everything but the cylinder head. No cracks, dings, etc. This is what it looked...

Haha, guess that's not something you expect to see in a Chicago garage. Lake Michigan is surfable during winter, so it's 7-6-5 wetsuits, lobster claws, and boots the whole time. Totally worth it though.

Decided to let go of my Tommaselli adjustable clip ons too. These fit the 79 forks, not sure if there are differences in fork diameters through the years. $100 plus shipping.

Yeah, Pamco ignitions are gone. Sorry guys.

Rearsets are sold. Thanks for the all the interest everyone.

Also available: Complete rear sets - $200 They are Torazzis with custom designed and cnc machined brackets.

Hey everyone, I'm selling a bunch of aftermarket and custom parts for a 1979 XS650. All parts have under 200 miles on them. Prices do not include shipping, which will be whatever they charge me to ship. If you Here's all that's left for the moment. Regulator/rectifier - $50 And the...

This bike has been sitting in a garage for 2 or so years. I need the space, so maybe there'll be some interest here. It's a 1979 Special that was highly customized with some very cool bits and pieces. I have an expense record for everything put into it for anyone interested. First the bad...

Here it is as of now, lowered the headlight and the bars. Still feel like something is off with the light. May go and try a smaller bucket and setting it closer to the forks.

I'm out of town for a bit, so I can't take any photos at the moment. I've got some pictures from the build process though, maybe they'll help for now.

bcthomas, the exact bend you'll need depends on where your rearsets are mounted. Since I designed my own brackets, it'll be different than if you buy something that's out there already. By how much is beyond me. With that said, here's a couple shots of the bend. As you can see, it's as close...

The clipons now reside a bit lower, but not as low as most clipons. If I wanted super low and uncomfortable just for looks, I wouldn't have spent the money on adjustables. The kickstart is now bent to accomadate the rearsets, I'll take a picture later and post it up to show the specific...

Thanks for the kind words everyone. While I can't remember the exact year of the tank that I used, it did require a little bit of cutting and welding to make it fit. The tank had two attachment points at the rear, so that was all cut off and I welded on a new, single attachment point made from...

Awesome, glad to know I'll be hearing from you shortly. I appreciate the reply Pamcopete. Thanks Andrew
