Watcha gonna do with the rear carrier? Think it'd fit an SG?
Yeah uh um NO wouldn't fit YOUR bike, so solly charlie.
That awesome sissy bar backrest though, that would be stylin' on your machine.

Couple bees buzzed close to the bud.
The guzzi is long gone.
Recently did an all nighter to Cleveland and back to get this 2000 S3 Buell but a bud saw it and........
The trip to get the 79 special yesterday darn near ended with the van full to overflowing with XS parts; engines, frames, wheels, carbs etc etc. prolly only cold weather and oldguyitis saved me (so far) from loading up a collection.

It was on a "local" CL for stupid cheap crying to be rescued.
Well I don't always open the clutches but I tend to agree the fiches are wrong, 80 is the year they changed to the new type.Yes, it's difficult to pin down exactly when that newer 6 plate clutch came along, at least from parts diagrams anyway. I think it was in 1980 but maybe some late '79's got it. Gary, with all the 650s that pass through your hands, you'd be the guy to tell us.
The cam chain tensioner assembly type can also be confusing. This is right around the time Yamaha changed from the no lock nut type D to the lock nut type E. I know the '80 models got the type E and I have seen it on many '79's too.
Yes, you really need to have a look at the internal parts. The plunger type will tell you whether or not the assembly gets the lock nut. The info you need is here, posts 22 and 23 .....

The wrong damper washer type could also be contributing to that inset plunger.
Hauled some parts back and forth from the shed..
Still looking at a "real" M18 1/2" drive impact for lugnuts, rear sprocket nuts, tractor work, etc. This one came in a kit with a 1/2" drill that also has an impact setting. With 3 batteries, 12 18 volt charger and a carry bag $200ish Both are brushless motors. I'm a bit concerned about the 1/4" hex shanks under hard use but so far no problemo.Been ponderin' a battery rattle gun. All my stuff is Ryobi and they're right proud of their impacts. What's a Milwaukee cost a fella?
