Still lots to do, but the 82 is an easy start, run perfect bike now with the local boys paint job on it.






I have too many bikes, if someone is looking for a nice scoot.......

Nice job on that bike, looks good. I assume the fenders were chrome and you sandblasted and painted them?

 

[gggGary]

82 only Heritage special had painted fenders OEM.

Man that looks comfy...makes me wish I didn't have such a compulsion to mod my bikes.

Picked up this '82 XS650 H/S back in October for the grand total of $100, with the promise I'd get it on the road.

Charging system was shot, so I did the PMA/Pamco swap, repainted the bike(didn't like the repainted mismatched tank/pinstripes done by the PO) and just put the MikesXS slash cut mufflers on the bike, along with all the other prerequisite work a 30yr old bike needs to get roadworthy. This forum was nothing but help for this whole process, first time ever seriously wrenching on a bike and feeling pretty proud of myself for actually getting something going.

The bike now, with me atop it(pre-exhaust):

I think the semi-matte black really works on this bike, and for a rattlecan job, I think it came out pretty good.

I bought this XS650SK new, from Beach Yamaha, in 1983. It is one of my longest running relationships.

Basket case XS650SH making a comeback, complete with a swingarm.
