Hey Guys, thought I'd introduce myself since I finally bought my first xs650 and will most likely be imposing my silly questions upon ya'll at some point.
This is my first xs650, but not my first classic build. I've got a 70 cb450 that I've had for about 6 years now and since its mostly done (are they ever REALLY done?) have been looking for a new project. My CB is a cafe build and I've been wanting to hardtail something for a while and found the xs to be the perfect platform.
I just bought my 82 yesterday for $500! Its a little rough around the edges, but everything works, no leaks, electrical looks a little shoddy but seems to be working fine at this point. I rode it home last night and in comparison to my little Honda 450 this thing sounds great and has ALOT more bottom end torque and power. Its a cruiser for sure! I've started doing some simple vin checks to see what I've got.
Anywho, just wanted to say hi and to say thanks in advance for dealing with my silly questions. Now, lets see if I can post a couple pictures!

Should we start one if there is not one?
