Picked up this nice clean original XS650 from Randy at Cedar Rapids Iowa.
Just getting it ready for its long trip back to Australia to join the rest of my XS650 line up in my Motor Bike Collection.

Stock 78 XS650E Rescued from a garage where it had sat since 1985. (Still had the licence plate & tag) New tires, tore the front end apart and geased, lubed all cables, found an original seat on epay. Did go with some cruiser-style mirrors as the stock ones clamped to the bars were just plain ugly. Still tinkering with the carbs. It's running on a set from another bike. The originals have a low speed issue I'm having trouble with.
Picked this up 2 weeks ago from a lady DC detective, hence the robin egg blue paintjob. Have been removing surface corrosion, lubricating, and checking things out. Plan on leaving it in this configuration, but will add a few parts (slimline tail and turn signal lights, nicer fork ears, bar end mirrors) and repaint to another (more manly!) color, perhaps black. It's a '77 (supposedly).
