Very nice nonXSive. Different without being gaudy.

Nice bike nonxsive. Just needs a pair of longer mufflers to set it off.

 

[nonXSive]

Thanks guys. Yeah I'm not crazy on the look of the mufflers but they sound good.

Pretty as a shiny penny Kenny. Tell us a bit about it?

Just an old 81 xs converted to street tracker status
Omar's bars and seat pan
Had to have discs front and rear
Freshened stock motor
Having a little carb trouble hoping to get that fixed and ride er through the summer
Next winter I'm going to tear it down and go back through hoping to warm up the motor a bit
Definitely a blast to ride
I've owned a lot of bikes this ones the coolest by far and the little xs mill is tougher and stronger than I thought it would be
My first xs and I'll say I'm hooked

Don't know if I've done this before, but here are some pictures of my 1975 XS650B. import from USA, never been touched but needed some loving, so that's what it received. Now its a weapon and has just been run in........

After rebuild.....

Sad engine....

Before engine rebuild

Sad pistons, original too!

Selfie...onwards and upwards All work carried out by me with the exception of the valves been re seated and re faced and the oversize boring (0.50)

Might be a stupid question but are tanks and side covers original paint?

 

[Michaelo]

Never a stupid question, all 1975, trying to keep the bike in as original as I can, also the tank has plenty of imperfections in it. When replacing the petcock seals you could see the paint as being original. Side covers are a tad dinged, still have the metallic paint though, it's been touched up with a black in some spots.

Not quite finished but this is where mine will end up. First bike, first build. Really happy with it!
