    Here are a couple of pics of the right side. I haven't ridden it much lately, but there are no mechanical issues. Of course it is 40 years old and there is always something to mess around with. The tires on the wire wheels probably should be replaced soon, but I have an extra set of cast wheels...

    Hi Dale, Tank was repainted about 15 years ago, it has a couple of chips, but no dents and overall looks good. I think it is Dodge Durango Blue, which a friend had leftover from painting a car. It originally had decals, not badges. It has just under 15,000 miles on it. Not sure how to answer...

    For Sale $1,500 -- 1977 XS 650 with 1981 engine and electrics. Runs well, it's nice, but not perfect ... I have a title, although in Rhode Island the ownership is tied to the registration for vehicles over 25 years old. I do have a current RI registration. Extra parts included in the sale.

    1979 xs 650 Top end noise

    I think he means the 2 bolts that hold the front chain guide in place. They are behind the oil feed tube in the front middle of the cylinder. I went and checked the a rocker cover I have, and the rockers only have a very slight side to side play... not sure if it would feel looser on the bike...

    New England ppl

    Osteoderm, I am going to go (sort of)... I have some stuff to do early Saturday, so I am going to head out (from Cranston) around 1:00 on Saturday and ride west on route 6 until I see a bunch of bikes, then turn around and join the ride into Providence. I will look out for you at the end...

    Name that Exhaust! (2into1)

    It looks very much like a 70's Honda 350 exhaust that JC Whitney used to sell way back in the 80's. I'm sure they would just resell someone else's, but maybe the CB/CL350 clue may help you figure it out. It's interesting that the Honda 350 exhaust would fit...wish I had saved mine! I really like...
