During my call today to order sime parts, we got to BS'ing and Mike revealed he may be throwing in the towell, for a few reasons....time, hastle, profit, health, and most importantly to smell the roses. He also said he will keep his brake business and expertise going but for the most part, he is willing to let the XS parts part of his business dissolve.
I told him I would post this, hopefully to churn up some business but at the end of the month there is a planned hospital visit so if he returns back to business, it may depend how he feels after that.
 
I could always use a few items so maybe a good time to try to stock up. It's a shame but inevitable I'm afraid.
 
Hope I can still order his vm34 kit on Monday! Been waiting for some spare cash to pull the trigger on them. Hopefully the same thing that happened when I ordered a pamco doesn't happen. Ordered the pamco and a couple days later got a refund and he was done. Apparently I have bad timing when it comes to ordering parts for my bike lol.
 
lets hope someone steps up and buys their xs650 inventory . :( Perhaps we should construct a list of current xs650 parts suppliers around the World as most of us already order parts internationally
 
Called Mike up today and ordered my carbs! Can confirm he's wanting to cut back on a lot of xs stuff. He did say he may still sell some xs parts still through his brake business. I don't blame him on wanting to be able to relax. He's 72 so I'd say he's earned it. But man if he's not the nicest most knowledgeable guy out there! I learned a lot during my call with him. I wish I was able to soak up all his knowledge!
