SOLD AND DELIVERED...IT'S GONE.... Figured out how to add photos after I wrote the ad, but then could not figure out how to edit the ad copy...so there ARE photos attached. Sorry about that..

SOLD AND DELIVERED! Selling the XS650B I bought about 10 years ago, planned to resto-mod it, haven't touched it. Complete and fully operable so far as I know...it ran and shifted though all gears when parked about 10 years ago in my garage, where it has been ever since. Going to get it out of...

Count me in...(I ordered two shirts...does that help? JUST KIDDING, JUST KIDDING) But I DID order two shirts.

My '75 B resto project really needs a new set of rims! Help me out here, I don't want to spend the time necessary refurbishing the ones I have. Need new spokes, too!!!

Hi, Matt, and welcome to the world of XS650. I left it about 35 years ago and am happy to be back. I'd say that if that bike has been run "a couple times a year around the block" it is likely to need very little. Don't assume you'll need to rebuild the carbs. There are some good threads on...

Does it sound like a good plan? I think so, but so is not going too far from home and keeping your trailer tires aired up. Just kidding, kind of. I have no idea, but shavings and chunks in the lower end of any engine would make me tear it down to find the cause. This opinion is worth...

It's been a long time, but if I recall correctly you hold the soldering iron tip on the connector until it is quite hot, then apply the solder to the wires where they go into the connector and it will melt into/onto the connector. It sucks up into the wire strands. But it's been a long time...

PM sent on tank, rotor/stator and starter package.

WOW! Nice looking setup, C-Los SD! Really sanitary! Let's see the whole bike...

Never mind...they are, apparently. Mike'sXS lists them under the same part number for 74 and 75. Sorry...

can the 74 be easily modified to work on a 75? Anybody know?

PM sent..definitely want the tank and fender, will take all three if necessary.

Hey, 5Twins, where does one purchase a "Euro Bar"? Google and Bing don't help...I like the looks of yours.

Try this on ebay: http://stores.ebay.com/savagecitycycles Good luck! EDIT: Just dug through a bunch of e-mails from the past few weeks, it IS Savage City Cycles that is/was parting one out. Let us know how it turns out!

Either Savage City Cycles or Geneva Cycle and ATV was recently parting out an entire XS650. Sorry, don't have ANY more information than that...perhaps a Bing search will turn up their address/details. Good luck.

Maybe an old BSA or Triumph switch? If memory serves, they were pretty simple, one-position, on-off switches, pretty compact and in fact mounted where you indicate. But my memory is maybe not so good...and yessir that would be LUCAS Electrics, proceed at your own risk.

I'm in town for a couple days and need an XS Fix...would like to see your ride, yak about our bikes and have a cup of coffee or a beer...lemmeno if anyone is close by and interested: m haynes at suz dot com P.S. I've had my shots and don't bite.

I've heard on the FE (Ford) engine forum that The Right Stuff is great...BUT it is a BEAR to get the parts separated later, it is STRONG stuff. Good luck!

Thanks, Guys...maybe there are TWO St. Charles, Illinois...this one is not near Missouri far as I can tell. I am about 40 miles west of Chicago. If anyone is nearby and has a few minutes between now and Saturday evening, drop me a line...

Others much more knowledgeable than I will chime in, but I'm gonna give you some bad news. You are going to have to put it in the right way. Cam lobes have specific "ramps" opening and closing valves, much less all the other issues you would run into...such as whether the thing would be timed...
