Selling a XS-650 standard. Titled in my name in Pennsylvania. I am selling it as a non runner, bought it that way. It turns over free with decent compression. It is complete, minus turn signals & brake light. Tank dented. Spoke rims, drum rear, disc front. A little rough but is a good...

Great guy. I posted a need for a part and he replied fast. Great price and shipped it next day. Thanks again DIRTY DOG :thumbsup:

I need the speedo cable drive for the front wheel. 19" mag, if it makes a difference.

I have a 77 standard and the manual for it. I swapped my spoke wheels for mags. Can someone post the pages from a manual showing the parts and assembly of the mag wheels. I am not sure i have all the right parts to assemble them.

Ok guys, i am a cheap bastard. I am building a hardtailed 77 xs650, i have the hardtail welded and wheels/tires on. I like the stance but had an idea for using clipon bars. I am trying to think of a cheap way to add a 2" to 3" extensions to the top of the fork tubes, allowing me to attach the...

I have my mag wheels at the shop to get tires installed and i am at work. They need to know rotation direction of the wheels before mounting the tires, the speedo on the left side solved the front. The sprocket and brake disc are removed from the 16" rear mag. I need to be able to tell them...

I searched and could not find answer to a simple question. Do exhaust headers from an xs400 fit the xs650. I found someone willing to donate a set for free but need to know if they will fit. Thanks

Ok guy's, Just brainstorming with my creative imagination for my next build. Don't beat me up, i am looking for ingenuity!! Currently working on a 77 David Bird hardtail (Army theme) but thinking ahead to the next project build with a 75 standard i have leaning against the shed out back. I...

Anybody ever use a Mustang solo seat on a bobber? I searched the garage & picture forum but found nothing. I have a Mustang solo seat leftover from my former Sportster and want to include it in my build, with modifications of course. Pictures would help. :bike:

I have heard the pre-1977 bikes are more desirable for restoration. I have a clear titled 1975 standard that is complete but not running. The engine is not seized and seems to have decent compression when turned over with the kick starter. Both spoke wheels, Drum rear brake, disc front. It...

1977 xs650 I installed the new tapered head bearings from mikes xs yesterday. All went according to plan and re assembled with no problems. Then i noticed there was no lower dust seal included with the kit. :doh: Old parts are in the trash. Can i use an O-ring as a seal? Should i go...

I need a rear axle, nut, & spacers for 16" mag rim. Help me out if you can. Thanks

Hi guy's, I been working on hardtailing a 77 xs650 in my spare time for a few months now. I have the rolling frame about done and will be starting the engine soon. I bought the bike as a non runner, it was in a shed for about 15 years before i bought it. It turned over smooth with the kicker...

Want to trade my 36 spoke 19" front & 18" rear wheels for 18" front & 16" rear mags. The spokes on my wheels have some rust issues but otherwise sound. Rear is drum brake, front is disc. Off a 1977 xs650. Would also be willing to buy a set if nobody wants to trade. :cheers:

Hey guys, Getting ready to pull the trigger on a David Bird hardtail and have a fab question. Since the downtube & rear crossmember are un-cut with this hardtail design, do i still need to leave the engine in the frame for welding? I don't really want to make bracing for it either. I looked at...

Hi Guys, Relatively new to the forum, have been lurking around here educating myself. Lots of great guys with tons of experience based knowledge here. I recently got two xs650's, a 75 & 77 and going to start a hardtail bobber project. I understand the stretch part of the hardtail but am not...

OK, So we got 10" of snow last night in nw pa so i was snow blowing this morning and thinking at the same time, dangerous for a couple reasons. Has anyone thought about, or actually modified a two stage snow blower with a xs650 engine? :eek: You would have to eliminate the air filter and...
