Hi everyone,
I finally decide to begin the restoration of my 72 XS650. It will take time, I'm waiting for a surgery that will be done before June. They said that they will call me between 1 to 3 months. I'm also planning to buy a V-Star 1100 this summer and convert it into a bobber.
Until now, I removed the front fender but put back the front wheel to use the centerstand. I will have to build a work table. Also removed the seat, tank, side covers, air boxes and all that stuff, the rear wheel and found out that the swingarm is very loose. I wanted to install bronze bushings anyway. Today, I plan to remove all parts around the engine.
I will take pics this afternoon.
