yeah, I've been over it in another post and got a ton of input from the local experts on here, when I bought the bike it also came with an 81, which seems to be where most of the incorrect parts came from, but the frame and motor have matching ser. #'s that confirm its a 72 just with later side...

$40, plus shipping, heres the rest of the pics he sent me

ok, thanks for taking a look gggGary. Well the search continues

so i'm pretty sure I already know the answer but correct me if I'm wrong, the pic below is NOT the correct tank. A guy on FB got ahold of me saying it was a 72 tank

well i have changed my mind since then, and found another 72 parts bike (MISSING THE TANK), and I have the original side covers and the other 72 has the original seat, wheels, front end etc

Well unfortunately that's what I'm going for (or at least a restore mod) and the tank is a big hang up for me because this is my dream bike, between me and my dad (who is a master welder and fabricator) we have a fully supplied fab shop with English wheel plenishing hammer etc. We could honestly...

Ok so it turns out this tank that's on the 72 frame I just got doesn't fit, like not even a little, I've been searching ebay and looked through here and there's no recent posts with anyone selling one, so if anyone here has one they'd be willing to let go, I'd be extremely happy. I've attached a...

I gotta say this site and the members are awesome, I can't tell y'all how much I appreciate all of the help! you guys are amazing. I'll be ordering the main harness from MikesXS, I feel like for $60 its well worth it instead of me and my dad trying to make one from scratch like we had been...

Ok so here’s the serial numbers on the 72, y’all can double check me on it, but from what I’ve found online it is a 72 frame and engine (cases at least)

Well to be honest I want to put the spoke wheels back on the 72 from the parts bike, and the motor on the parts bike I have big plans for, and I haven’t done all the research on it, but there’s some guys over in Europe that have an 880cc kit that I’d like to do, but again I need to do the...

Here are the pics of the parts bike and ser #

It’s actually a factory 5 kit car

It’s got the 80 wheels on it, I did run the numbers on the frame and motor it checks out as a 72

I'll have to work on getting some pics put up, I don't have that many of it right now since I just got it Saturday, Like I said above I'm new to the XS650's but it has been a dream of mine to own one forever, I consider myself pretty handy with a wrench, I've been riding and working on bikes...

spent all day on here looking at wiring diagrams instead of actually working at my job LOL

Ok guys, just went up to KS this last weekend and bought my first 650, actually I got two, a 72 that supposedly ran when parked and an 80 with no title thats just a parts bike. I know there are a TON of posts about wiring but most of them are a little over my head, I'm still working on reading...
