    What do i have?

    Ok, I've identified the motor as 1972 XS2.. But the frame is a 447- which is '74. It came with no engine mounts. From what I've read so far, after '74 the engines will swap, but I believe a '72 has different mounts. I have '72 engine mounts on my ebay basket.. Any advice?

    What do i have?

    How do identify what I have? I just picked up a frame and an engine. There are no engine mounts, but it looks like the engine fits.

    Electronics in fake oil tank

    I LOVE THAT IDEA!!... Oh my word, I was dreading the wiring. At the moment I have the wiring harness still together and was trying to figure out a way to get it all in the fake oil tank, without a huge hole or taking wiring apart. THANKYOU!!

    Gas tank.

    I have a 1979 XS650 with a TC BROS Hardtail. At the moment the only tank I have to go on it is an old sportser tank. I realized the other day, that the petcock is halfway up on the right hand side. That means a good amount of gas will not get used, due to the angle of the spine tube. I...

    Carbs and jets

    They are...but with the way the hardtail is, I can make them fit. Its, the difference in diameter that I'm concerned about too. I think will have to get new intake manifolds... I'm just not sure if I'm wasting money.

    Carbs and jets

    I have just removed the CV carbs from a running 1979 XS650. I am going to be running PODS and straight pipes.. What size jets and needles should I be looking for?.. Also, can I just get a different size intake manifold, as the new carbs are slightly bigger? I will try and enclose pics of what I...

    Hard tail pulled in.

    Thanks to all the replies.. I took it out, and it bounced back again, but not as far. So I turned the jack around, as suggested and it out a lot further....we shall see...

    Hard tail pulled in.

    I had the TC bros hardtail welded on to my 1979 XS650. I had a spacer brace cut to the exact 8.5" the same as the stock swing arm, and clamped in, during welding. However when I removed it, the frame sprung inwards, and is now 1/4" too narrow. I have my bike jack in there now, pushing it out to...
