Recently picked up a couple XS650s that came with boxes of extra parts that I don't need, so looking to get rid of some of it and put the money towards getting the bikes back on the road. I do not know what year motor any of these parts came out of, just went through the boxes and started...

I'm preparing to get my wheels re-laced, after getting the wheels & hubs painted and getting new stainless spokes. I've tried searching but I kept finding different answers, are the hubs off-set at all? The bike is an 82 Heritage Specials, with a drum rear brake.

I have a 1982 Heritage special, I found the right spoke kit for the rear wheel, but not sure if http://www.mikesxs.net/product/19-0065.html this is the correct one for the front wheel? I didn't notice when I took it all apart if there were two different inner and outer spokes. Here is a...

Most of the Harley Sporster tanks I see have the top mount going to where the stock gusset would be on the 650, I've already removed and welded on new gussets (changed my mind on a few tanks), so I would have to weld in another piece to mount it. Would it cause any problems to run two mounts...

I see a lot of the kits for the mid controls for the xs650 have fixed, not folding foot pegs. I'm worried that they will scrape in the corners and cause a high side, especially since my bike is lower than stock. Anyone ever have problems scraping the pegs in the corners?

Hi, I'm Tom, 16, picked up this '82 XS650 last October, been working on it little by little, the progress is starting to show... The day I picked it up, next to my 06 ZX6R... Started tearing it apart, not keeping alot of the stock parts. Decided to go with the Ardcore Hardtail, 4"...

Hey guys, I am trying to get my Ardcore hardtail all lined up and had a question that I couldn't tell from the instructions if it was right or wrong. I have the axle plates both square with each other so the bottom rails are good, just not sure about the gap on the backbone. For some reason...

Has anyone used this gas tank kit, or any similar kits to this? How was the quality of it? Was thinking of ordering one for my '82 build.

I'm starting to strip down my 82 Heritage Special down to the frame, and I'm absolutely clueless about wiring. I started to read up on it, to get a better understanding of it, but still confused. In NY I need a headlight, turn signals, and a horn. I don't plan on keeping the electric start, so I...

Nationial Cycle Plexistar 2 Windshield + Other Parts I bought the bike with these accessories on them, they won't fit the look I'm going for, so I'd like to sell them. They were all on a 1982 XS650 Heritage Special. I'm located in New York, willing to ship anywhere in the U.S. provided the...

I'm Tom, I'm 16, and I'm going to look at a 1982 Yamaha XS650 Heritage special tomorrow, was wondering what a rough value of a bike for that year. I already own a 06 Kawasaki ZX6R, but before I bought that I looked at some of the XS650s, and loved the bobber style, and I finally found one on...
