Junked '71 xs1b conversion to cafe
Hi folks,
Been lurking a while- have always wanted a xs650 since I fell in love with the 650 build done by Clutch Customs from Paris:
http://www.bikeexif.com/xs650
Last night I saw an ad on CL for a xs1b for next to nothing and nabbed it- brought it home this morning. My goal is to do a very similar build- very clean, as little exposed wires/cables as possible, no battery or starter (bottom pic).
This will be my third bike- I also have a '74 cb750 and '83 xv920, but this will be my first build from the ground up so prepare for some dumb questions from me. I've been trying to read up as much as I can on the 650 build threads here and looking at what mods need to be done with a 650 rebuild.
I'm located just south of Boston.
