I know this really isn’t the place to sell something like this because 99% of you already have this stuff anyway. I’m having to let it go so I thought I’d try here first just in case that 1% might be looking. For reasons I’d rather not go in to I have to let every thing XS go. Two titled...

I know it's a long shot but.....................I'm in search of GREEN 1978 XS650 Standard side covers and tanks.....still in stock colors. Contact me through my inbox if you have something lying around you want to turn into cash. Thank you in advance........Gordon in NC

Hey folks....hope ALL of you on this side of the pond are enjoying a GREAT riding season......well, for those who have seasons. For that it's worth no matter where you are in the world I wish you all the best. I don't normally do this but I have to share. Some of you might remember this tank...

I know this is a LONG shot but I have a set of (80's) Shoei saddlebags and I'm trying to find a key for them. Haven't been to the locksmith yet but if all else fails that's what I'll do. Best I can tell Shoei .....who stopped offering luggage decades ago had at least three types of hasps...

Thought I'd do a short post so I could get some information on the different "Euro" bars that are available for our XS650s. I have to admit when I see a stock handle bar off the bike (XS650) I just shake my head and can't imagine them on a motorcycle.....they just don't "look" right. BUT (and...

Okay.....I'll make it quick. I thought I had seen it all.....DPO fixes and mess ups. Heck, truth be known I'm a DPO myself. Working on the "Black" 1978 XS650E trying to get it back on the road. Carbs were so stuck nothing moves. Rebuild carbs.......nice. Remount them and want to hear...

First off PLEASE forgive me but I tried the search and gave up once I started seeing blocked 5twins photos......I know this has been covered before.....probably dozens of times but I'm going the easy route (flame suit on) and asking out right. Stock 1978 XS650E, B38 carbs....the bowl Where...

I know some of you are going to roll your eyes when you read this.....I understand completely. I need to replace the drive chain on my 650B. I've put thousands of miles on motorcycles and ALL of them were/are chain drive so this isn't something new to me. But with the XS Im still at the...

I "think" I read somewhere the torque value ( 5twins?) for the cylinder that holds the leg onto the lower of my 34mm 1975 B forks was 16 ft lbs. In that post I seem to remember 5twins saying he went to 20 ft lbs if he was reusing the copper washer. I can't find the thread again and I can't...

This should probably just be added to another thread but I'm in a hurry so I'll just do it here. My 75B came with a broken centerstand. The tang (for lack of a better term) was broken off of it. I welded a short piece of metal on it so I could at least get my foot on it and just lived with it...

I'm looking for a "nice" running 1978 XS650E Standard. I'm located in North Carolina and I'm willing to drive to come get it. Not interested in a "project", I've got too many of those already. I want something ready to go and looks good. Clear title a must. Cash on the hip.......Gordon in NC...

I figure if anybody knows......or has an opinion I'd actually listen to, it'd be here. Here's my problem. I picked up another bike last weekend, a starter/first bike for my daughter. It needed a good carb cleaning and I've got that completed. I'll say this........it was absolutely the...

I recently picked up some more spare parts for my 1975 XS650B ( yep, you have created a monster ) and in the lot is what I was told were stock handle bars for the B model. I have my bike here and a B model parts bike and both the handle bars are the same. This (new to me) set I have is...

Yea I know it's a long shot but with all the bobbing going on......you never know. I need/want a good solid set of stock mufflers for my 1975 XS650B. Shipping to 28659. I also need a right side handle bar switch in good conditition. Thanks in advance Money on the hip and PayPal...

Okay......after working almost non stop for months except for trips to visit with my 93 year old dad (who passed away a couple of weeks back RIP) and a shortened trip to an XS Rally (broken clutch cable sent me home early)........I finally get a couple of days off to play. So I'm loaded up and...

Been looking for a thread on the WV Rally to see who's going and I can't find it. Help a brother out. Gordon in NC 1975 XS650B Ratty but loved

Thanks to gggGary I replaced my left hand switch on my 1975 XS650B with a "nice" one but the problem is......it makes the right hand switch look even rattier than before. So I'm searching for a "nice" right hand handle bar switch to replace it with. Paypal friendly....shipping to 28659...

Folks, I figure this will be an easy one. I'm wanting to clean up my ratty 1975 XS650B a little and since I'm on the clutch side doing some repair/upgrades I'm looking for a GOOD-CLEAN (no grey primer please, I have enough of that) left hand (clutch side) switch. The switch doesn't need to be...

I figure this shouldn't be hard to find.....doesn't need to be pretty, just straight. Gona weld on it, so no chrome is a plus. Front engine mount for a 1975 XS650B......or one that'll fit. PM or email at dad1150@aol.com Thanks in advance, Gordon in NC

I know it's a long shot.....but I promised my ragged XS that if it got me home from the XS rally last year....through all that rain....I would NOT mount my cheapo plastic cooler bags back on it. Well it did it's part and now it's up to me to do mine. I'm looking for a set of stock 1975 XS...
