Nice colour! Classy! What's the spec for it?Took her out for a spin after getting a new paint job!
The bike is a 1980 special 2. The color is custom grey. I have some decals for it but I need to wait a month or so to put them on.Nice colour! Classy! What's the spec for it?
After I finished boxing up the motor I found a ball bearing on the floor!Finished the top end rebuild for my motor and boxing it up to ship it to the garage where the rest of the bike is for winter storage.
Thanks Jim for the fantastic XS650 Top End Buildup thread and thanks to all who responded to my threads regarding this rebuild.

Looks good. On the wheels, is there a clear coat on the aluminum (non painted) surfaces? My wheels have surface corrosion and I’d like to polish them up. If there’s a heavy coating on them I may just leave them (too much work - lol).Latest tinkering,
