    Take Apart The Turn / Brake Tail / Headlamp Module Cover?

    Has anyone taken apart the cover of the Turn / Brake Tail / Headlamp Module between the Tach & Spedo? I'm looking to put a small digital volt meter in the 'Brake Tail' spot behind the clear plastic panel. The cover has a 'faceted' red plastic piece sandwiched between the white reflector...

    You Meet the Nicest People In the XS650 Forum

    I mentioned to a friend that this forum is the best one I've ever been part of. The people here have been very helpful, encouraging, and respectful! Most forums are not this way. Definitely not a bunch of grumpy old men types... Rather distinguished gentlemen. Just wanted to say thanks...

    RonXS' Build Thread - The Soft Cafe

    Intro - Hi From Olympia

    Hi I'm Ron from Olympia, Washington. I've recently received a free '79 XS650. Free in this case is a bit subjective as the PO had started to part-out the bike. All I know is PO said that the bike was running on only one cylinder. So that means there will be parts buying and trouble shooting...
