Somebody was in my garage and took my bike, HAHA. It was nice to meet you John.

Sold the bike to a XS650 member, hes picking it up tomorrow. I know he will make good use of it. I found a 79 all together that needs some work with a title, hope to look at it this weekend.

Sale pending to Wrenchjohns.

I recently purchased a 1972 XS650 mostly original but missing the seat. No title and I found that it's to difficult to get one in my state for an abandon motorcycle. It has 8400 miles on it that I think is correct. Its dirty and has rust here and there and hasn't had much attention. I have...

Lots of good original parts. Still has the air boxes and one has a filter in it.

$400

This is an option but if your talking about the one I saw its butchered up.

Another PITA with Pennsylvania is state safety inspection every year. I was in a motorcycle shop the other day and said to the owner I have a bike I want to customize what’s needed for inspection? He said; Fenders need to be the same size or bigger than what came on it. So no cut down fenders...

I had the same idea but I don't know anyone that would do this.

I think but not sure the head tube is what is titled and you can do what you want to the rest of the frame.

I think if it's not stolen and nobody alive owns it then they should be glad someone is willing to clam it.

Problem is the DMV said they have an owner listed for the bike and they can't tell me who it is or if its listed as stolen. If its stolen (I don't think it is) a judge could ask why I purchased stolen property. Not something I want to take a chance on. I'm going to go to a title company to...

The LZFH #8710 is non resistor.

I did hold the throttle wide open. Going to stay with points for now. When I look up the NGK LZFH it says resistor cap. Is this the correct one? NGK LZFH Resistor Spark Plug Cap

I would like to do an engine rebuild. That's why I got this bike it was cheep and I didn't care that much about the condition. Hope to get it running then take it to my basement shop and work on it over the winter. I need something to do on those cold days.

My first bike was a 1974 Yamaha RD350, 2 stroke, 2 cly, 6 gear trans. Got it new 2 weeks after graduating high school and I never rode a motorcycle before. My dad went with me to pick it up. The salesman started it and I jumped on and let the clutch out and laid about a 3 foot patch. Scared...

That's nice. I'll sell you the bike then when you get the title back you can sell it to me :).

Did a cold compression test (can't do a warm one yet) got 110 and 115. Not bad for an engine that's been siting for about 4 years and who knows when the last time it was on the road. I did put oil in the cylinders and on the cam best I could. It wasn't easy to kick, must be a real pain with...

gggGary, What psi should I be looking for when I do the compression test?

Good idea. Any help or suggestions are appreciated. I restored a 1980 corvette about 15 years ago. It was a 3 year project so I have some experience with this kind of stuff. It was a low mileage car but I found lots of incorrect stuff. The car got Top Flight from the NCRS first time judged.
