Thank you

Isn’t it a never ending learning experience? Lol and a lot of “WTFffffff!!!!!!!”’s I guess my strategy is to at least start piecing the puzzle together. Obviously if I can find a bike that isn’t buried in a dirt mound and costs 6k then that would be cool, but I’m certainly not gonna wait around...

Bro, I am searching everywhere. The only thing I haven’t done is advertise that I buy old motorcycles, which just might be my next step. Lol

Haha ok. Thanks Wide ;) Guess I'll just be tinkering with my harley for now....fml you can only do so much searching online before you get tired of just seeing the same dumbass bikes.

This is apparently a game of waiting.....and non-stop searching lol

Well you can literally never find one. Do you know any that are for sale?

This is a two part reply: 1. So, a guy is selling a 73' xs650 already bobbered out that runs (but needs carb adjusting) and another xs650 79' that is 'complete' but the engine is seized (this would be a 'tear everything down and build it back up to my liking kind of deal). He has pink slip for...

So, I'm hell bent on building a XS650 chopper. I'm just starting. I'm buying parts here and there and intend on building this from scratch. However, what I'm wondering is if anyone has any good resources that show compatibility between different years in regards to frames, engines, and trannys...
