WELL done! Looks incredible.View attachment 87471 Almost there.... Got to assemble the caliper and it's ready to fire up. Hopefully....
It's tough keeping the sweat off the polished aluminum and chrome...What's missing is all the pools of sweat on the floor...

I just need to get up earlier if I want to get any work done these days. By noon it's 100 in the shop. I think this fall I'm going to paint the roof white.
Thank you, I appreciate the offer but I've already got some on the way.@cycleranger I have a few extra rubber grommets from my overhaul for the side covers. If you need them, I can send them your way no cost, no sweat!
Those are stock Yamaha mirrors for some years, not sure about '76. They were on my '78. Regardless, they do work well.
cycleranger.........................My 1976 Yamaha XS500C had that same mirror. I bought the bike new in 1976. It came with only a left hand mirror and that was all I used for 13 years. Yamaha shares parts between different bikes. So yes, those are original stock 1976 mirrors, and I found it worked just fine for me.
fugly...........................no, I thought the mirror was beautiful!
Well, I guess it's just that to me they don't fit the styling. There's not enough black on the bike.
But if they came with the bike I'll use them 'cause I'm sick that way.
I just need a XS650B.....
Have to agree here, that's some really fine attention to detail, looking impressive, enjoy your ride when it's back on the road
G'day Mick,
Glad to see you back.....looking at DJ's '76 makes me envious hopefully mine will look half as good.
He wants a '75B maybe you could do a deal, LOL.
