Thanks for the info. What is the best way to look up parts diagrams, partzilla? I used to use bike bandit, but they disappeared while I was away.

So, based on what I read, the axle length isn't different, it's just the triple tree spacing, so trying to use what I have isn't going to work without some lathe work. I'm thinking my fork legs were not original 73 items since they have 2 pinch bolts. Just to confirm then, 74-76 fork lowers...

Hello Everyone- I'm back after a few years hiatus from xs650's. I picked up a non running 73 tx650 a few weeks ago that had been in storage for at least 10 years. Fresh battery and gas and she fired right up! The previous owner had made some modifications that I wanted to change back to get...

Got what I was looking for. Thanks wheelhouse8!

I might be interested, I would have to see what it looks like. What do you want for it?

I am looking for a centerstand for my 78 xs. I want something in usable condition, doesn't have to look pretty, just has to function. If you have on laying around that you can spare, let me know what you have get out of it. Thanks! :thumbsup:

I am looking for a luggage rack to fit my 78xs650E. If you have one you are willing to part with, let me know what you have to have for it. Thanks

WacoBrian- Just saw your post, figured I better edit my sig. Burnsville MN is where I am located.

Well, as of now, just ride it! :bike: Once the weather gets better that is. When i got it, it was sort of a runner, the guy I bought it from knew just enough to mess a bunch of stuff up. The bike had obviously been down, the turn signals were mis-matched, the paint is poorly redone, and the...

Hi all- I signed up a couple of months ago, and figured it was time for my intro. I've had bikes for about 12 years now, and got my first xs650 last summer. It has been a bike I have been after for awhile now, I just had to clear up enough space for another one. Well, now I'm down to just...
