for sale standard bore cylinder head for 1973 xs650. Sand Blasted and honed by an engine builder.
I purchased a big bore kit and do not need it but I need it out of my garage for the room.
Id like a $100 to recover some of the cost. In box ready to ship.

I would like a newer engine for my ride. How much you want for it. I’m about to take the engine out and rebuild gearbox. So if yours is all good it might be a great fit
Funny a friend of mine was making fun of me for clutching my Indian. It just seems wrong not to clutch it. Race cars are built with straight cut gears for that reason. And in turn they won’t shift with out lifting the throttle. I’m not sure but I don’t think most motorcycles have that kind of...
