Well folks during the lockdown over here in Dear Old Blighty I have been using that time to rebuild a trio of my XS's the first of which is a 650 Special ( my first big bike after passing my test some 30 odd years ago). A TX 650
And my XS 1 . I have a couple of questions regarding this bike
1: The VIN Number is S650-001062 can anybody help with the year of manufacture is this 69 or 70.
2: I am considering using stailess steel nuts and bolts through out I am aware this may upset some purists what are your thoughts on this.
3: I am upgrading the head races to taper roller and replacing the swing arm bushes to either needle rollers or bronze bushes.
3: I will be lookig out for a few parts for this. Front mudguard with stays, Side cover emblems and chrome trim .
Cheers
Steve
