I figured I should just stick with the xs650 frame. The xs500 frame fits me better in hight and it's nice and skinny, too bad the 500 engine doesn't interest me like the 650 does. Posted via Mobile

Yes I even got a follow up call to make sure I new that I wasnt getting the extra shipping tacked on. I don't think he's seen this thread either. Good service.

I just talked to Dale at Old School Speed and he's fixing me right up. Sounds like a real nice guy trying hard to provide good service keep the parts flowing. Thanks Aldo for the number.

I would've but his number isn't on the site.

I hope they restore it. I should have left my 73 alone and not rephased it. I run into a problem every time I want parts for it. No rearsets, stainless exhaust doesn't fit quite right. Short swing arm, can't swap on a newer tank, the list goes on.

There's an early xs in the minneapolis Craigslist listed as a 76' for 300 bucks. Might be the one your looking for gggGary.
