I have a 81 running engine, and a 79 sitting in a frame that turns over, I just never threw the gas to it to see if it would run. PM if interested.

I have a 3.8 or 4.2 over sized plastic tank off of my DR350 with a brand new petcock? If interested message me! -Ty

I have an opportunity to add another 1975 Yamaha XS650 to the shop, but to do this I need to clean just a few other bikes out of my mom's eyesight. Here's what I have. *There will be better detailed lists and pictures to go with this ad once I get home for Thanksgiving break. I am putting up...

That's a 10 out of 10 for me, that paint job is really nice. I love the triumph lines!

I have a spare set of Mikes XS wheels with good spitfires on them that are fit for a '78 650 Standard. I would like the taller/skinner rear wheel for my Heritage Special (1981) along with the front wheel. Is this possible?

Cheers to you sir, I will be starting a Street Tracker rebuild post college on my '81 Special, and this will be a big source to get ideas.

$500.00 purchase in the Boone, NC as a project to do during the winter of my junior year at App. I will be posting pictures as I build the bike to stock. Once I graduate in 2014 or earlier I will be doing a Street Tracker version of the bike. Here is a link to the bike running for the first time...

I appreciate it! Nice work on the '80. I took the '75 out for one of it's last runs in Boone until I bring it back in spring after the salt is washed away. But this is will have it a fresh oil change and hopefully routed fuel lines tomorrow. Valve adjustment and timing chain to follow.

I will be in Greenville, NC for a concert this friday and I can meet you with the cash in hand that day if you'd be willing to wait this week to get rid of it. Correction: Turns out my buddy has a spare rear tire sitting around. But I can't find how to delete this post.

That's whats I am thinking, $500.00, titled and ran without a single dime put into it yet, but it's a great foundation.

I was out for a ride on my '75 and ran across a fellow rider out on some Yamaha full dresser. He mentioned he had two XS650's laying around, so I began looking for a partner to buy these two complete (and at one point running) 650's for $500 apiece. Needless to say after one ride on my '75 my...

At 20, and a rider of a virtually bone stock - original '75 XS650B I guess I might break the mold of the young guys who want to trick them out. But at the same time it is their bike and I cannot blame someone for wanting to put their signature on one of the best motorcycles of all time. So my...

Well boys that's some good advice considering dad's a landscaper. I have 2 gallons at the house. Should I turn the front sprocket as well?

Filters have been ordered, a K70 to finish up this set before Bridgestone Spitfires, and now my only decision left is should I go with the 520 O-Ring and Sprockets and save weight, or go for longevity with the 530 chain. The amount of miles I am going to put on the bike will decrease shortly...

Thank you for the advice 5Twins! Any Chain manufacture you prefer? Also Is there even the slightest performance difference between the two filters. Because i want my bike to breath but double the protection is something I would like as well.
