This came on the bike I am currently rebuilding. I was told it was reupholstered and it looks great. I am asking 100.00 OBO for the seat plus shipping and handling. Send me your email and I will give you a quote for shipping. I think shipping for a seat is in the ballpark of 50.00. I am...

I have switched out the gas tank on my bike to a xs550 tank and am selling my current tank. I am not sure the year for the tank and am wondering how many variations of xs650 tanks there were. The bike I bought is a 1975 but mods were done to it by the PO. I will be posting this in the sale...

I wanted to know if anyone has taken the simple three prong headlight set up and modified it out for what it takes to switch to a double led light set up. The first photo is just a possible direction for the lights purchase and the last three is the end result I am shooting for (Actually the...

So, I just picked up this bike a few months ago and have been working on the gas tank and slight performance upgrades. Nothing that has to do with electrical in the least. I disconnected the headlight working on the forks and had to reconnect all the wiring. I run the bike once a week to get...

Ok so I bought this 1975 xs a few months ago. I did not pay a whole lot for it but it had already had the engine bored out to a 750 and a few parts switched out from newer 650's. So this was perfect because I was not wanting to butcher an original bike. I have a 1976 cb550 for that. Anyway...

I have been thinking about updating my carbs for a few reasons. Let me know if these are a good direction to stock carbs. As stated in the title I just bought a 1975 xs 650 that is bored out to a 750. I am having some issues with the engine and I am thinking carbs may be part of the problem...

Hello, just wanted to say yes I am new to working on motorcycles and appreciate any and all info available. I have been working on the 1975 xs650 bored out to a 750. Here is my deal. I took off the clutch cover that was already on the bike. Once it was off I checked the gasket and internals...

I am sure I am not the only one to pull this insanity but while trying to remove the bottom allen bolt on the forks the #$^@$% bolt actually stripped out and will not budge. I am thinking I may have to weld the allen wrench to the bolt just to get it out. Has anyone ran into this problem? Any...

I am wondering if their is any alternative that looks good for a gas cap on a 75 xs 650 tank. I picked up a 1977 xs500 tank that takes the same cap but it looks pretty bad with the standard cap. I do not care about the locking mechanism but wondering if anyone has found a decent looking...

I just picked up my 1975 650 last weekend. The bike seems to be running good but a little rough. When I picked up the bike the previous owner explained that he thought that he had an air leak possibly in the carbs and that was what was causing the roughness in the engine. Since I have not...

I know the vintage firestones get a really bad rap. I am looking for a vintage look for a build right now and looking for a tire with some character. I like the Duro HF308 and am wondering what the general take on these tires are, especially compared with the firestones.

I just bought my first 650. It is a 75 and I am pretty stoked on it. I do have a 76 cb550 and love the old bikes. The CB is pretty stock and I want to heavily modify the 650. I am going through the bike now and noticed that the foam on the filters for the carbs are gummy with a red sticky...
