XS650DAN
Howdy all. looks like a very good forum. Thanks to all who contribute.
Spent a couple hrs reading topics today and affirmed by frame, matching engine #, pass footpeg mount and fuel tank ... that all say I have a 78 XS650E, 2F0003659.
It has an old dealership deal over top of fear fender close to the seat with Kalispell readable.
Bill of sale so have to apply here in WA for title.
Owner had it running recently, barely. Came with lower flat bars that make the brake mstr cyl bolted on at an odd angle and can't fill properly and an old(?) set of the 'buckhorn' looking bars, clymer manual. Also came with a new wiring harness, bonus!
Need a headlight shell as one on now is too big and forces the mounting ears out.
I am a fair mechanic and will work on the bike to likely be stock as possible. It may be some time before I can start bringing the XS back to operating condition.
I like stock. Have a '85 V65 Sabre, 61 Rambler Classic and a 66 fairlane GTA (in final process of resto).
