1979 XS650 Special
Currently painted blue. The picture makes the paint job look better than it actually is. It's a rattlecan job.
Tank has a dent on the left side that has been repaired w/ filler. It needs some more attention to be perfect. I painted it without hitting it with a flash light from all directions.
Both tank badge brackets have been filled in also. Those filler jobs are decent. I can't tell it's been filled if I hit it with a flash light. The dent, i can tell.
I do have petcocks for both sides that I can include (not pictured). They were not leaking when they were on the bike, but history is unknown. They are vacuum.
I also have a cap. There's a key for the cap, but something is wonky with it. I don't have the screw that fastens the cap and also can't get the clip to fit flush. Not sure if it's a standard cap and that's why it doesn't fully fit.
Mounting rubbers not included.
I vinegar'd the tank for a about a week last year. Inside looks great.
If you like the "Smurf" color, I can include the rattlecan if you want to finish smoothing out that dent and keep the color.
I'd recommend hitting it with some spraymax 2K clear afterwards to avoid gasoline ruining the paint.
$20 plus shipping.
