Let's see your XS650 shop tools.

I'm sure we've all made specialty tools for working on XS650s, let's see them.

These are mine. auto advance nut spanner, standard rotor puller, PMA rotor puller (left hand thread for some reason), float bowl fuel level checker, TDC finder, degree wheel, shop centrestand, valve sping compressor (tacks to a standard G clamp., LED timing light, clutch basket lock, frame stand (wheels can be added for moving around the shop),. I did have a bench engine stand and a wheeled engine start stand, but sold them after I'd finished with them.

I'm sure we've all made specialty tools for working on XS650s, let's see them.

Engine fixture to remove and install an XS motor by yourself. The screwjack at the top is to tilt the motor.

Inverted engine stand. Sometimes simple is better. A 6X6 chunk of wood with holes drilled the accept the head studs

An upright stand...

Valve spring compressor...

All the tooling required to rewind an XS650 rotor.

Clutch holder.

Cheap Drillbit sharpener test . Dont want to recommend it yet .But perhaps something to work
on --- The jig gets good ratings online .But I find it difficult to use before knowing the right settings and adjustments
Not everyone has a Bench Grinder
Tried to sharpen on the bench grinder without jig ..with soso results .Takes practise but testing this

Old part s from Garage sales and so
$ 12 for the jig $ 7 for the machine 0 for the machine holder lacking some parts I manufactured
Rotating disc can change grinding paper and Coarseness.
I did not have stone discs fine enough

But again needs more practice for the jig holding the drill bit
The setup can work if I can install the bits properly

I set the machine close to the drill bit tip and locks it .The adjustment for feeding is at the jig
For now the machine with holder is loose so I can inspect the grinding via moving the machine getting a closer look
