Final Post
First and foremost I really want to thank all of the folks who contributed to this thread to help get this "Old Girl" back up and running. The best site I have ever been a part of where folks are so willing to share their expertise. We went around the block today and I was truly impressed. The bike runs extremely well, shifts perfectly, no flat spots or hesitation, and will sit and idle all day. Of course I have a few final adjustments to do, throttle cable, seat height and so forth, but for all intensive purposes the bike is done. Now will I keep it, that is a question a few more miles will make the final call on. I may even start a search for another XS650, I have some parts left over and really enjoyed the process on this one. Thanks again everyone.....
