    2020 what next?

    It just goes to show, some building workers are the same the world over. They measure out their area, perfectly!!!!(sic), sink the first stone, then realise they are not even in the correct place, decide it's too much bother to remove the stone, pack up and go to the correct piece of land.

    Don't it my exaust pipes blue

    XS650 Model Identification/Year/VIN, Workshop Manuals, and Other Information

    Hi 650Skull, thanks for the help, much appreciated.

    XS650 Model Identification/Year/VIN, Workshop Manuals, and Other Information

    Thanks, 650Skull, I was looking at one the other day and although the engine numbers and frame numbers were the same, which I hoped they would be, because as you say they should be from the factory, the stamping of the numbers on the frame just didn't look like the same typeset.

    Scam going around forums

    Just had a wee think about this and why I was sent an offer 'to contact someone'.
