XS650 Addict
I have a 1975 XS650b that I recently got running after sitting since 2003 or so, the carbs were a big pain but I got them cleaned out with a Pinesol Boil out and cleaning with Gumout carb cleaner ($2.99 at Walmart) and my little portable compressor. My next thing I need to do to make her road worthy again is the way the handle bars
are mounted they are really sloppy loose.I tried to put spacer washers on the studs but no good it seems the rubber grommets are shot or the holes in them are too big.
They don't look bad, they are pliable soft and even smell fresh but I cannot ride it like it is. Here is a picture of 1 of the 4.
My bars will wobble about an inch, it is a pretty strange feeling.
