They are like vise grips and c-clamps, you can't have too many.

Could be a can of worms, but looks like good bones?

Lot's of imagination! That's not even a 650 frame; looks to be a frame for a 750 or 1100 shaft drive maybe

 

[Mikey]

But it's a 62

looks like a good candidate, but man Oregon - too darn far away for it to make sense

Not a 72? Today on my 500 mile radius search from Topeka there are 74 XS650-TX650 and related parts/incomplete bikes for sale. This is the most I`ve ever seen. 19 of them were black Specials. I don`t remember how to do it but there is a way to search FB nationwide.

One thing's for sure - you could easy do a single carb conversion on that.
Looks to me as though the exhaust pipes would foul the downtubes though. Perhaps a really tight bend might work, but it will be less than optimal, iwt.
