    For Sale - Parts Needed for 1978 XS 650

    Ok. I was not sure. All I know is that something took all of the insulation off the wires on the left side blinker. Also the fairing does not fit the bike and there was a lot of southern ingenuity and some kind of fiberglass work done that involved covering the back side of the signal lamps??!!!
