XS2 Retro Almost Complete

[BowlingSS]

Almost finished my last XS2 Retro. Have four more xS1’s coming from Gary. Cannot wait. I know the rims are not stock and the rear blinkers are not red. The blinkers are reproduction and they do not make a red lens. Stock lens do not fit.

Just so you know XS2's had red turns in the back. Plus that is not a XS2 rear rim.

Or front. Nice but not restored.

That’s outrageous , how dare you put the wrong colored turn signal lenses and a non standard rim on your own bike !!

@Vmx51 I can tell by the tone of your comment you think my reply was uncalled for and you are right. I have several XS2s that I ride or am working on. None of mine would I in any way call a restoration. To me a restoration is getting it back to show room condition. Very difficult, expensive and time consuming.
You are exactly right it is his bike to do with as he wishes. I must say I like the looks of the Aluminum rims on it. Going to use them on my next XS2.
Everybody's idea of a restoration is like opinions and other things. I just don't to me think it's a a restoration.
It is a very nice looking bike.

We are looking at 40+ year old bikes. There will be perfect restoration and hats off to all who seek, build, or respect those projects. I enjoy seeing the efforts and results of each contributer who shares here.

Maybe not concourse; but who cares. Looks great to me, and one worth riding.
