    XS2 Exhaust

    XS2 Air Filters

    Hello all, I'm looking for stock air filters for my 1972 Yamaha XS650. I see Mike's has them for $30.14! Does anyone know of any less expensive options? $30 for $5 of material just doesn't seem right. Thanks.

    XS-2 front tire size

    Howdy, I am going to put a new front tire on my '72 XS650. I intend to put on a Dunlop K70 tire. My question is this... the tire comes in two sizes either a 3.25-19 or 3.50-19. I believe the stock size is 3.50-19. Is there any problem with going with the narrower 3.25-19? Thanks in advance.
