Hi, I may have to sell my '73 TX650 to help pay medical bills. I'm trying to figure what it's worth. Any help is much appreciated! Thanks. It's a '73. 29,000 miles. Bought from estate of original owner. I have the original handle bars, turn signals and brake light. It will need...

Thaks everyone. Ohio-- 83 degrees yesterday... 43 today bummer..

1973 TX650 Sat since 1996 when it stopped running. Original owner parked it in a barn No spark, no fuel to carbs, no brakes, burnt wires, rust covered everything.. Thanks to you guys I got it Monday night and rode it 24.9 miles tonight. Got cool handlebars for $25 today too.

Well, Should I just run a fatter ground wire to replace that one? I'm not going to run it all the way to the mount below the coils. Maybe somewhere closer like the frame where I can see it. I'll check all the existing grounds too. If anyone can explain how a rectifier can overwhelm the...

1973 TX650 Seems like everybody has fuses except me. I've looked everywhere. Only fuse I see is the fuse on the red wire that is encapsulated in a clear plastic holder. .. not in battery box, not underneath.. not beside...

It is attached to the frame tube right behind the engine, looks stock. Also.. I seem to not have a fuse box.... but everything looks stock.

ok, that thing is the rectifier? ... or just part of it...? googling here.

UPDATED: See pics please. That black ground wire from the coil goes back to some kind of common ground block for a bunch of other wires. What would make it fry its whole length like that? I'm tense about just replacing it until I figure out why. What are those wires in that block?

Yeh that's it Gary! Same as your '73 only one is burnt. I was bummed out when I saw, but now I can't wait utill tomorrow to unravel that mystery. I think I had too much new bike energy going on and wanted to fix it right then! Thanks!

cool write-up. Thanks. My petcocks are non-vacuum. The fuel tubes for reserve and on are completly missing. (?) I wouldn't think they'd rust away. I'm looking at mikes xs page. Lots of cool stuff on there. I think I'll get two new ones since these are in such bad shape.

1973 TX650

There are two grounds on there. One is ok , one is burnt. I guess I'll be unwrapping the harness, but I thought maybe somebody might know. I only found one fuse, an inline to the starter relay. Are there other fuses?

Are there two holes in each petcock or one? I have two really clogged holes. I dont' want to break lose the two little screws on the side yet. Is there a good way to clean them out without that? Thanks.

Melted. Goes to ground under coil. Just got bike last night. ..Should have pics attached.. don't see them..

Just picked up a 1973 TX650 Tonight. I would like flatter handle bars. Not cafe style, but more liek drag style. Could someone help me out with some links or manufactuers? Pic would be cool too! Thank you.
