For sure!! Parts is parts and I intend to pillage a bit from that other set! Unfortunately I won't get to play with them today but I will be working on them very shortly and will take an inventory of what I need. I ordered a fancy new T for pure aesthetics. Dude on Ebay makes them: gunsbluemoon...

🤣😂 so yeah, I am metrically inept lol! Don’t tell the missus, she is a math teacher and I’ll have lectures on conversions all week.. conversion therapy of sorts.. 🤣😮

So I had a ruler and some carbs. Top is, what I was led to believe, xs400 carbs and the bottom is the xs650 carb. Measurements are in mm for the metric fans. I don’t have a way to measure cm right now. :) seems there is a mm difference is distance apart so alignment would have been an issue. Out...

Wow this thread grew legs, nice. I was busy at work and couldn't read until now. Who would guess LOL! That did answer what size line I should look for! As always, solid info! Thank you, I have not been into them but I have a feeling these carbs are going to want some extra lovin in the form...

gggGary, did your yellow discolor too or is the because the other may not have been filuel line as you said?

Thank you for the direction. I am probably going with pods over traditional air cleaners and not too sure which exhaust I am going to use yet so I will probably need to play with jetting/needle settings so that section may help a ton.

Sure Thing Jim, when I get home tonight I will be out there working so I will get on that.I don't know that I visually saw a difference but I will get the tape out as there may well be. I will look around here for sure, Besos doesn't need any more of my money and I don't need it today anyhow...

Thank you everyone. Jim, thank you for the info and reference photo also, that explains why I couldn’t find it in the other post.. I will use the set that are XS650 specific so I don’t have to worry about spacing. So apparently both 34’s and one from another version of XS. I will look at what...

So just to ask because I don’t know and while I can read, I wanna be sure before I order stuff.. short background, got the bike in a box and there are parts here and there from a couple different bikes. I am sure the one on the left (or top, picture depending) is a 34 and the one under it is a...

Oh excellent Jim, thank you again, this will for sure help!

Thank you for the welcome. I haven’t downloaded the factory manual. I have a Clymer but find it lacking so I will soon be looking for better I think. Some pics so far. Things are coming together, not assembled just painted. Waiting on some more VHT satin as they don’t seem to have any local. The...

Thank you, I wouldn’t take it as talking down to, though I can see some might consider it as such. I’m a blacksmith by hobby and a meathead in life so hammer it home might be something to warn me against for sure. This is kind of a redemption project as someone carelessly sealed the fate of...

Sounds good and yes, for the smaller metrics I only ever see one size though their selection is extensive. I will take care for sure. Thank you again for the lesson, the ability to find your own info is priceless.

That’s solid info. I got the part number but none showed the size or anything but being able to break it down with the number is awesome! 97017-06025-00. Would equate to 06x025 then? Thank you much!

Hi all. First post but been reading a lot! Got a 1980 xs650 for $50 at a flea market but it was in boxes. Been putting the motor together but still some bolts missing. I need the starter gear box bolts but no idea what size. Any and all help would be appreciated. Just wanna hit the hardware...
