Very nice, I was at the distinguished gentlemans ride in Milwaukee last week, mine was the only vintage Yamaha there.

This is why I was thinking this, it would be so easy to just walk away with it. deadchef, the streets in Kenosha are starting to turn a little, being in between Chicago and Milwaukee is starting to have a trickle down affect I will probably do the lock in the brake rotor, thanks for the info

I'm wondering what everybody uses as a theft deterrent? I've been thinking about it more and more lately, since I've been riding my bike (that I value more than what people think it's worth, I'm sure) I get a little apprehensive letting it sit in a parking lot while I get lunch or dinner at a...

Thanks for the input, I am going to go with the stock tank for now, the seat is from counter balance cycles (in case anyone was wondering), which fits well, I cut and ground off the brackets off today and mounted the seat (crudely). Now I'm just trying to figure out signals, brake light and...

Update, received one from doncon, awesome guy!

I'm looking for a speedometer for an 81 special, would like to have one with lower miles (mine has 9200mi) the needle cracked and broke off on mine

Hey all! My name is Matt and just recently purchased a 1981 XS650 with 9100 unmolested miles. This is my second bike, my other one is a 1979 XS1100. I was on the lookout for months trying to find a smaller bike, the 650 was my first choice, but due to the resurgence of cafe racers, the price...
