Stupid question, perhaps. I was wondering where the yellow paint dot on my new Dunlop tire goes in relationship to the valve stem, or if it even matters. I am not using wheel weights, I am installing Dyna Beads, so I am unsure if I even need to be concerned about the position of the tire.

Site member sivarTi sold me an uber sweet Special headlight bucket at a very reasonable price. Great guy to deal with!

I am looking for the oblong cast metal pieces that mount outside of the headlight ears and the washers that mount inside the headlight bucket on 1974 and later TX/XS650s. I have all the rubber parts, but the metal inserts and washers are trashed. I have paypal or parts to trade. Thanks!

I see that Mike's no longer carries the vacuum petcocks for a 1979 XS650f. Does anyone know where I can find them at a reasonable price? I found them at motogrid, but they are over $100 each. OUCH!

I drilled a hole in the rear fender of my pristine 78 SE to mount a custom tail light (In retrospect, I sure wish I hadn't done that!). I am looking for a fender in excellent condition to absolve my sin. Have cash or other XS650 parts to swap. Update... 2eight customs hooked me up with a...

Bought a very nice 1974 TX650A headlight assembly and airboxes from scott s. Quick shipping, great parts, and a great guy to deal with. Never got a deal this good on ebay... Thanks, Scott!

Very comfy and in decent shape, pan has surface rust but is solid, asking $45 plus actual shipping costs from 13160. Pm me for further details, if interested. Backrest and pad available for an additional $20. Items are pictured on my 1974 TX650 (that I will probably die with). ... meant to...

I need to repaint the black portion of the rear wheel on my 78 Special SE. Has anyone found a suitable match for the oem finish that Yamaha applied at the factory? I used to see Yamaha wheel paint at the local dealership before they went out of business. The front wheel looks great, so I would...

Just read the news about the upcoming XS400 forum, perhaps jumping the gun a bit here. Bike is not pretty, and has no title, but is very complete. Less than 12,500 original miles, good compression, inside of tank is spotless. Bike is located in CNY, 13160. Would be better utilized as a donor...

I recently purchased a 1978 Yamaha SR500E as a parts bike for the 78 SR500 that I already own. Although the bike is rough (MAJOR understatement here...), it does have a clear title, and I feel it would be a shame to reduce it to parts. The engine is locked up, and I would appreciate any...

And as luck would have it, I could now use that tank (DOH!). Travis was awesome to deal with, btw.

Bike has been sold! Bike has a ratty paint job, but is a good solid bike. It has less than 15,000 miles on it, and runs well. I have clear NYS title to this bike in MY name. It will need a new battery and tires. Gas cap is now on the bike, as well as the correct headlight ears. I also put the...

No broken fins or other damage. Could stand a good cleaning and polishing. Engine has great compression. Asking $175. I am located in Union Springs, New York 13160. This engine has been sold.

I recently purchased an ATC type fuse block to replace the stock POS block on my 1981 650 Special. The bike is stock, and has the stock wiring harness. I am having a tough time trying to figure out where to mount the new fuse block, as it is taller than the stock block, and won't clear the seat...

Bike would be a good project. Frame and engine numbers match. Has less than 15,000 miles on the odometer. Motor feels to have low compression (may be as simple as a stuck valve), but a nice 1979 xs650 motor is included in the price. Also comes with a ton of extra parts, including, but not...

I am less one XS650, thanks to XSLeo. I had many people jerk me around on this bike, but Leon showed up when he said he would (he was actually early). It is refreshing to know that there a still people that can live up to their word. Thanks, XSLeo!!!

Bike is restoreable and very complete. Included in the price are the correct front fender, a replacement guage bracket, rt. side hand controls, Corbin double bucket seat, and a backrest with pad. Bike has no title and is not currently running, and the price reflects that. Asking $600, which is...

Ebay item #150426100050. The seat alone is likely worth more than the current bid. Not too keen on the 500 motor, though. A lot of good parts on this one.

I am very interested in seeing pics of this seat, should anyone here happen to buy one. I love the lines of the seat, but I fear that it likely has a logo printed on the rear of the seat ( a definite deal breaker for me, too much visual clutter ). I would have hoped Mike would have posted better...
