I had a 1982 XS650 way back when. It was bone stock and I rode it for a summer then sold to a friend. Well that was a mistake. So fast forward 30yrs, and I have owned numerous bikes and built a few odd balls along the way. I currently ride a old softail that I love but the draw as I get older to build that bone stock classic bike still burns. I fix bikes on the side for friends and few others so skill set is intermediate at least. I have been looking for a new project for a while but XS650's are hard to find in Ontario, Canada. As I cruise the interwebs for a candidate, I wonder what year model is the best for restoration? I have zeroed in on the XS due to the availability of parts. I have done a few XJ's and the intricate parts are getting hard to find and costly to attain.....XJ forums were awesome though.
Anyways please let me know your thoughts. If anyone in Ontario reads this and has a project they wish to offer, drop me a line.
Cheers,
Brad
