FRESH MEAT!
Holy crap those look good!!!
I'm starting to think back in 1972 there was not an XS650 that was as clean and shinny as this one will be when done, not even on the assembly line over in Japan!
They always look nice when you first finish a bike, but it sure is hard to keep them that way once you start riding them.
So Bob, how close are you getting to start the reassembly? Teasing us with all these shiny bits has me getting anxious to see it back together. I can’t imagine how eager you are getting.
Good stuff Bob - your new seat rail is scheduled to arrive in Windsor tomorrow and I will be popping it into the USPS ASAPafter that.

Hey, hey.....and guess what just arrived at the Disaster Central Workshop?
Millie is 4-paws up and tail waggin’ on shipping this p/n 68-6800 seat rail out to our very own Mailman in dry, hot Arizona!!

Absotivley beeeeautifull Bob. Nice job!
Man, that looks awesome.
Gotta love the XS650 Smithsonian and it's loaner program. This place never ceases to amaze me. The helpfulness, kindness and generosity of its members is truly humbling. Thank you all!
The seat turned out very nice. You are doing a fantastic job
