Tachometer off my 77xs650 D. some wear and tear, all bolts with, works fine. one of the wires will need a new male or female end I don't remember. It's how I found it when I got the bike.

Just got an XS650 in a parts lot I acquired but the frame that it came in is trashed from someone previously trying to modify it.
I also have a hardtail rear section that is good.
I am looking for either a stock front loop I can weld my hardtail to or an already hardtailed frame someones not...
Alright guys, I hate to start a new thread asking for help so soon but hher I am. So it looks like I get the opportunity to know my bike a lot better than I thought much quicker than I thought. I think I'm in for a rebuild. Not sure. I'll post a video.
There are metal shavings in my oil and on...
Question,
For for my build, my frame (78' XS650) started off with disk rear for brakes. I now have a switched to drum (I have a drum swing arm.) I am now left with the ugly rear master cylinder mounts (see picture.)
So my question to the guru's is;
Are the Rear Brake Master Cylinder mounts...

Still havent been able to get spark or kick over my xs. bike worked great before so i dont think its timing but i just want to kick it over and get the engine going.
Recently found some simple wiring and though I had it but no cigar. here is what i did..
Battery ground and power...
I'll provide most of the info and some pics but for all the details I ask that you call or email me. I am not trying to get top dollar for this I don't believe. The 21" front and 18" rear rim really makes this bike look amazing in it's lowered stance.

Hey guys I have currently read through all the threads regarding springers. I currently have a DNA 2" under narrow springer. I have bought 1" trailer bearings and stock xs650 racers. The only thing I know I need to do is to cut the stem nut down to match the TCbros kit (its almost half the...
Hey everyone! I'm thinking about changing my front end to a springer set up with a 21" spoked wheel with the mini break drum. Is there any suggestions on how to get the springer front end to fit the stock neck of a 1979/80 xs650SG model. Any suggestions would really help! Below is the front end...
Bought my first xs650 a few days ago and so far it's been a hateful bitch. It's been sitting for a few years and it doesn't want to wake up. The previous owner cafe-d it and i'm not feeling it at all. I'm going to attempt to get everything all happy happy and get the wheels spinning, collect...
