For over three years I've been advertising the left over parts from my 74 rebuild on Gumtree, ebay, three or four marketplaces forums and several XS650 online forums. All I've managed to sell in three plus years are a seat catch, two carbs and two alloy wheels. Rather than asking a kings ransom for them, $20-30 for things like carbs, wheels, etc.
On ebay I see these things for sale for three four times what I'm asking for them, most from America with postal charges more than the item's selling price.. Apparently people would rather pay more than I'm asking. Despite being told on this forum there is a great market for XS650 parts in Oz. So much for that.
Just got sick of them cluttering up my shop, so, I've just chucked a heap of parts left over from my 74 build: Battery box, air filter box, more BS38 carbs, rear brake backing plate, stator, rotor, recrifier, regulator, brake anchor rod, indicators, headlight bracket, plus a few other bits and pieces I can't remember at the moment. Everything in good working order., some even repainted.
So much for trying to do the right thing in saving these bikes and parts.
