Hello all,
I just moved to Washington state (JBLM). I have been looking at the xs650 for a while now, I've been wanting to build a hardtail/bobber. I don't have much experience with motorcycles but it's time I pull the trigger. I'd like to have this be a winter project and have it ready for next summer. A few questions, and I would like any other related info that is relevant. First: is there a certain year that is better than others for a project like this? Second: using parts from different model years, meaning is there a better set of years that are better for swapping parts? Lastly, kind of off topic, but is there more than 1vin on a frame. I ask because a guy is selling a neck with clean title. Thanks for any and all feedback.
