You got it! I hear tell they have XS's in SD......

Not true, I've already gotten them all.

Well, only 5 I can remember. and one of those might have been North Dakota.

 

[Dozuki]

True. But I will always have a soft spot for that one.

Are those saddle bags that rare?

Yes very rare. To a collector who has a 75B they could/would be worth several hundred $'ss, (in good to excellent condition),..........Of course the cheap skates here will dissagree, so they can get a bargain.

 

[Niels B]

It’s getting the time period to match, and then of course the matching paint

Ah that's what I thought.

Saddlebags for XS650B are readily available. Walmart has them.

 

[Niels B]

And they keep your perishable cool !

 

[Dozuki]

Ha very stylish.

You know you guys aren't making it easier for him to part with this bike

Anyway.....Dozuki is gonna keep the extra tank & I'm gonna restore it. I think this is the best decal set (opinions please):

[Dozuki]

It's all good. I'm glad that it's going to a good home and I can build another bike around the tank.

@Jim installed Diablo Cycle decals on my Special II side panels. They look 1st quality under the clear. I’m sure he’ll chime in.

Yes, I've used 'em on your side covers, my DT oil tank and on @MaxPete 's tins. If there's better out there, I've never seen it. Good stuff.

Watching this @jpdevol, might be useful for us both as a fellow US 'b' owner

I got some for my old 76 (I believe it was from them) and the one thing I noticed and was not a fan of was that they were a digital print (not like original) and you could see the pixelated edges on the pin lines.

That said, I was happy to have something.
