For Sale - Grand daughter's 1980 XS650 Special needs rear fender and licence plate assy

[DonebySunday]

Grand daughter was rear ended while making a left in Ashcroft, British Columbia.
Rear fender and licence plate and light assy were squished.
Does anyone have a good used fender and licence plate/light assy they can part with?
She loves this bike and would like to get it fixed so she can ride it as soon as possible.
Will pay good money for the fender assy as described and shipping costs.
Help!

The license plate light (and holder) is attached to the fender I'm sending Tony's G-daughter. It's all taken care of.

Awesome! Glad you were able to do it all at once, although I certainly was more than willing to donate to a good cause.

Yes.
Hers is squished.

Looks like Jim has you all fixed up. BTW, my maternal grandmother was born in Trail, and grew up in Vancouver and Britannia Beach. My mom grew up in Britannia and Williams Lake.

So sorry, at 70+ years of age with my eyesight caps are easier to read, but that is my problem, yes. Done };-)

Why is she selling it?

Why is she selling it?

She is not selling it. She loves it. Just ordered new brake lines and LED tail light bulbs for it.
The rear seat loop was bent up but I straightened it by using a comalong to pull down on it and 3 straps on the front of bike as one set was not enough as one strap broke. Lucky it was on centerstand.

Good! The post said it was for sale. Glad she's loving it. Does this old man's heart good to see a young person caring for a vintage bike.
