XS2-TX???

[650Skull]

Came across this on Oz fleeceBay today, rang the guy to get the Vin no's and it is sold.

What is it......Someone has been duped

Looks like a '76...front fender braces and mufflers

Frame is early 70-72, it has newer than 72 fork lowers.

No nut for the disk behind the axle nut.

72s don't have caliper mounts on left side. I'm guessing it's a 73.

Looks like a '73 TX to me.

Sols as an XS2. When i rang the seller, )he imports bikes and cars from the states), I tried to get the Vin no but it had sold so no point, did tell him it had TX front end and all he said was it may have been a TX650.

Someone who thinks they have an XS2 will be disappointed if that was what they were really after.

yea i see a 73TT front end and seat. 74/75 tank an an odd headlight and 76-79 Standard mufflers

Bitsa, but mostly 73?
Could be the 73 factory replacement tank?
That bike would be sold in the hundreds, not thousands range here.

mostly 73. different mufflers, headlight shell, looks like 74 or 75 tank & petcocks.

That bike would be sold in the hundreds, not thousands range here.

And that is why the import business exists in Oz and the UK. (Japan too)

Thanks, that’s a lot of info, very helpful. Pretty obvious I’ve been stung, lucky I really like these bikes and I’m in it for the long haul, whatever it takes.
The plan of a concourse resto has been well and truly sunk.
At the moment I’ll be happy just getting it running properly.

May have been Johnny Cash's bike... It was definitely put together one piece at a time.
