    My '98 Duc ST2 and I will probably grow old together (by most standards, we already have). But if I were starting from scratch, I'd have a 1999+, which scrapped a challenged single phase electrical system (1998 only) for a more robust 3 phase. It's a two valve head, which keeps maintenance...

    Gas Tank ID

    It does fit the front mounts (with the rubber bumpers on the tank) when I went to check it on the 1980 XS650 frame. It appears that the tunnel is wide enough, but it's quite a bit narrower than the Special tank, and doesn't really clear the bulky twin wiring harnesses that run along the...

    What have I gotten myself into?

    Howdy! Been lurking here a bit while a friend of mine was offering me increasingly better terms to take the XS650 projects off his hands & make them mine. I pulled the trigger last week & shuttled this into my garage: The bikes are a '78 Heritage Special on the left & an '80 Special II on...
