After over three months of polishing, painting, tuning, and parts hunting she's looking and running respectably. This did actually sit in a barn for 15-20 years, only had a little over 16,000 km (10,000 miles) when I got it. Check out the last "before" picture. NOS front fender is on the way. It handles pretty well on our twisty mountain roads here in Victoria, BC. Loving it, my 3rd XS650. I had a brand new 1976 as my first real road bike, an '83 Heritage Special that was written off (myself also almost) in 1994 after I'd just finished its restoration.
