Wanted - Wanted--77 Standard Seat, Tank, Side Covers

[Pegdragger]

Hey folks. I just picked up a nice 77 650 Standard with only 10k miles, but she needs a little love. I need:
Tank in original paint (Maxi Maroon hopefully)
Side Cover (same)
Seat
Mirrors
Exhaust
I know this is quite a list, but I'd appreciate anything you gave.
Thanks
Joe

Welcome...........Start a thread in the garage and introduce the bike, (and yourself, If you have to ), We love pics, even if it is half a bike, may also get a better response and more info on availability of parts and suppliers.

Maxi Maroon is a beaut, but are few and far between. I did see one on eBay yesterday whilst perusing Yamaha xs tanks........

I had an XS750 in the maroon and it is a pretty color. If I could find a clan tank and side covers in the blue, I'd go that way, too. My goal is to bring her back to as close to showroom as I can get her, bt I may have to make some compromises along the way.

Hi and welcome...trying to find original 'tins/exhaust' for a '77 is very difficult. I am trying for the same.
diablocycle has original decals for the tank and side covers and you can find a painter to closely match the original.

Saw these side covers on Yamaha XS650 facebook page. $25 https://www.facebook.com/groups/xs6...36143219778567/?sale_post_id=1536143219778567. Looks like he's in McHenry Illinois.
