Been a long time since I originally owned and rode a XS650 Special. Interested in what most of you are showing as RPMs on the tachometer at 50 mph.
I’m showing about 3k-3200 RPMs. Bike vibrates a lot more than I remember at speed.
Could anyone tell me what handlebar part number on MikeXS.com most closely matches the stock OEM handlebars on a 1981 XS650? Is it Mikes part #XS-12540? This part give OEM Ref:4H9-2611-00-00
Glad I could plant the bug that ended in you getting the other one I had looked at!! Great intro here and like you I love my original 1981 XS650 Special and my newly restored one too! Here’s a couple pics of my two. Can’t wait to get out there riding these together Jody!!
