XS650 Addict
This is my first ever xs repair/rebuild/reassemble/ whatever the heck you wanna call it 
.
I picked up this 74tx650 because my fiance wanted to learn how to ride and i thought this would be a good starter for her. it was running but had a real bad knock coming from the bottom end. well lucky for me the guy also included 3 spare engines and an additional 72 titled roller (i'll chop this one up later for myself). so i took one of the spare engines and did a complete top end overhaul on it as well as cleaned the carbs and replaced misc. parts here and there to get it in good running reliable shape... long story short, she is now running like a champ but i'm still working on getting a good tune on it.....onto the pictures.
started as this
new motor ready to go in
new tubes and tires
sportster rear shocks
motor back in, front end lowered
as she sits now, almost ready to go
video of her running
here is my current bike, 08 yamaha raider, i came from an 09 r1, i sure miss it somedays
