Can't keep away the XS650's are addictive. Building a XS500 now, but another 650 around the corner a 79 Special would be my choice if you hear about one give me a shout

Wow - that IS a pretty picture RT.

You know,what you need on that '78? A pair of Resto's beautiful XS650 badges on the side covers. They're made of pewter and they look awesome!

Not the best pictures or in the greatest condition but something to start with 1980 xs650sg

 

[gentlemanjim]

only 10,000 hours and $10,000 until concourse ready

 

[joe rob]

If I can get the engine right will be a trike next year. I don't have the balance for a two wheeler anymore. Or maybe trade for a shaft drive easier to switch over to a trike.

 

[gentlemanjim]

good plan

 

[Bob Kelly III]

I too have been contemplating a trike conversion ! shouldn't be too hard and fun as hell I think....
although my balance isn't what it used to be I can still manage...but a trike is just FUN !
I was thinking a live axle and car tires/wheels say 13" toyota rims.... and a box just behind the grab bar and below to haul stuff.....
maybe even a trailer hitch ..... HAHAHAHA !
....

Joe rob : Please take pictures and document your build !!!!! I think a bunch of us would really like a trike ! and I think the XS650 is a real good candidate ! ....
