    Engine stand question

    This may not be for you since you want to build. But I can't weld and would have to pay someone. So this is the route I took.

    Do you have a title for the frame? If so what are you going to ask for the frame? Thanks

    Wanted - XS650 Frame W/ TITLE (or title only)

    What did you decide to do? Hopefully you can come up with a cheap solution. If you get desperate and want to take a long drive I have this frame and title.

    Compression puzzle

    Forgive my ignorance. But are you saying you can put a 447 crank in a 256 case? I know you can swap cams but I didn't know you could swap cranks. This may change everything for me,,,,lol.

    Will a 83 motor work in my 72, and is this a good deal?

    That's a 77 engine. But man. I hate to tear it apart to vapor blast it. Bit if I don't the money on the vapor blaster will be wasted,,,lol.

    Will a 83 motor work in my 72, and is this a good deal?

    The original case IIRC did leak even after it was welded,,,I think. I think that's when I decided to pull it apart and have him weld it on the inside too,,,maybe. Here's what my bike looked like when I brought it home. A nice Maroon color. Then it went through a bobber phase with a peanut tank...

    So He wouldn't come off the $600 because he SAID his phone was blowing up with guys wanting it. I just sold a Goldwing for way more than I expected so I didn't mind giving him his price for what I saw. The carbs appear to be nos Sudco Mikuni. I'll have to pull them apart and see what they look...

    Will a 83 motor work in my 72, and is this a good deal?

    Thanks for the offer. I'm in Illinois so there would be shipping. But at this point in time I'm not wanting to do a full engine rebuild. But I may in the future if this new one I drug home today turns out to be a dud,,,lol. Not in any hurry but if you decide to tear into it let me know. Thanks

    Maybe it was hard to kick because I had it upside down,,,,lol. Just kidding.

    Will a 83 motor work in my 72, and is this a good deal?

    It was well over 5 years ago when I rode it. I don't remember if it rattled or not. But it sure did smoke. Before I just tore it apart I was trying to kick it on the stand I have it on. I only got 60psi compression on each cylinder. But I was having a hard time holding it still and kicking at...

    Here's what my rods look like now. I guess my choices on this one are a full rebuild $$$$, or throw rings,wrist pins, and valve seals on it and go.

    The new motor is a 77. The vin on the bike matches the title.

    Will a 83 motor work in my 72, and is this a good deal?

    So here's the story on my bike. It didn't look like that when I got it. It was kinda a junker. Didn't run, smashed up tank off something else and spray painted. No side covers. I had no idea it was a XS2 or what it was supposed to look like. I bought it for $500 to build a bobber. Brought it...

    So I take it you guys are saying it's a good deal and I should get it, and hope the motor is good?

    Will a 83 motor work in my 72, and is this a good deal?

    Is the Boyer ignition desirable? He said the motor is from a donor 78-79. Will send pic of vin. The chopped up frame that matches the title is a 83. So I'm guessing the motor will work in my 72. Just do I want to risk it being any good,,,,lol.

    Will a 83 motor work in my 72, and is this a good deal?

    So I have a chance to get this abandoned project for $600. The guys says it was a running bike with 12k on it when he tore into it 15 years ago to build a street tracker. He says it ran good back then or he wouldn't be using the motor, or have painted it. He says there's 2 nos Sudco Mukini race...
