All right I'm going to do like the majority and just have a build thread for all of my questions and such.
I purchased a 80 XS650 basket case off a guy on craigs list for 500$. Gave me the normal run down, "it was running last week!". So basically for the two months Ive had it the build has been focused on getting the engine back to life. (due to funds, and being new to this its taken that long) But today marks the day when we hope she/it starts up! Ive been taking notes of the "build" on my phone so I guess I could post those up to.
Pretty dark picture but there she is. There is a lot of things you cant see, like how the front wheel, and the gear lever is held on by bent nails. The left down tube and exhaust pipe have a big dent in it, there was nothing holding on the foot pegs. Little stuff like that.
