Help-1980 XS850 Frame Label

[canuck1969]

All,

Been a while since I last posted here. Sold the 650 a couple of years back and moved on to restoring 6 or 7 more bikes. Had to rent a storage locker to keep them all. Since last, have also built a vapor blaster and a powder coating oven so no more out sourcing for the work. Enjoying retirement......

My latest restoration is on a 1980 XS850G. I know it is not a 650, but thought I would give it a shot.

I have done a full restoration and for some reason I can't find (or forgot for some reason) a picture of the frame label before I powder coated it.

By any chance, does anyone have a 1980 XS850G and could take a picture of the frame label so I can reproduce it with my VIN. Not needed for certification of the frame as the VIN is on their, just trying to bring it as back to stock as I can and fill in the blanks on the missing data.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here is a partial picture that I managed to find.

Current restoration state. Just need to mount the exhaust and do the brake lines and retore body work and it is done.

I have ridden an XS850 standard and it’s a great bike. We don’t see many of them.

Looking forward to finally getting it on the road. Been restoring it for almost a year. Took my time a little bit every day. Now if I could just get the label sorted out???

Here are some of my other restorations since I was last here. Not XS related but had (and having) a blast giving a new lease on life for these bikes. Kind of a Zen thing going on.

Original XS650 that started it all......

Completed Restorations

Waiting in Storage to be done.............

Really nice work! I had a CB a long time ago, never could get it to fire on all cylinders consistently,
but when it did HOLD ON!

Was able to fill in the blanks on the label. Printed out a new one so all good to go.

Thanks
