All, I need the pair of brackets that bolt between the rear fender bolt, and the blinker. If anyone has them in good shape - please hit me up !

All, Im in need of a good+ condition instrument holder/dashboard for my 1975 XS650B. The previous owner installed some sort of chrome plate atop of it, via liquid nails. After I removed the plate, I tried to install one of those 'heavy duty' decals that you see on ebay - but it was not even...

Gents, Well just over a year ago, I started out with a bucket O parts. Today this happened: https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/108306259852786561284/albums/5882838203387207361/5885439762120136514?pid=5885439762120136514&oid=108306259852786561284 Surprised the old battery actually took...

So I know this has been covered before...but: I really cannot figure out how to mount the 'ultimate' coil (17-6903) on a '75. Where the coil needs to go, the wire loom splits right there; as well as the blinker relay gets tucked in. I see that I should be able to mount the blinker relay...

Gents, Im looking for the following in VG+ or better condition for a '75 XS650B: Front Fender w/Stays Front Fork Cover (Says YAMAHA) Handlebars Seat Thanks ! Steve

Gents, Picked up the correct rebuild kits for my carbs from Mikes. Everything is great - but the needle isn't the same profile as the existing one. Ok I thought - wear. However the old needle is longer than the new - clearly not wear :D New needle on the right: What sayeth you ...

Guys - Getting closer ! I installed Mikes oil 'cooler' today - basically just to have a sightly better filtration element. Regardless, it doesn't sit flush with the engine cover...I assume this is how it should be ? Also - what's the torque spec on the engine cover bolts ? Im getting...

Moving along on the refreshing up of my '650B. I pulled the forks today to clean up - and also to remove the headlight ears and headlight for the paint man. In the process, I also removed the tach/speedo cups so they could head out to paint as well, and I noticed that there is (more like was)...

All, As some of you might have seen, my bike is in fairly good shape; but it has some pretty nasty chromed/flaking engine covers. I contacted my local plating place who will de-chrome them for me for a nominal fee. I'll then bring them home and take a scotch-brite wheel to them to try to...

All, Im going through my new XS and need to remove the sump filter cover...But unfortunately it does not want to come off. Any suggestions here ? I surely don't want to start prying with a screw driver; as I imagine that'll be the end of it. I figure I can try a good rap with a soft-blo...

Hello ! Just figured I'd give a quick intro, as I've been lurking here for the past couple of weeks. I just picked up a pretty minty '75 XS650B and have intentions of doing a basic resto-mod on it. For the moment my gameplan is just to get the bike in top running shape (Oil/Filter changes...
