I kinda got into this a little ways before thinking about posting it on the forum. I imagine no one is going to be blown away by it anyway. It's nothing that hasn't been done before really. I started out with a what I guess is being called a "bratstyle type bike. It is a 1979 xs650. I am going to throw in a few pics out and hope that I can get some criticisms or ideas along the way. So feel free to let me have it.
This is what I started with-The wiring was a mess, the carbs were dirty as hell, and it wouldn't charge the battery. However it started pretty easy and idled decent most of the time. Got a PMA from Hugh, cleaned out the carbs really well and rebuilt them. Basically got it to good riding shape. Then decided to tear it all apart.
