@Seraffyn Thanks, its my baby, yesterday i was on it and had a random guy insult me by telling me he had 3 of them and then offer me 600 dollars for it, I laughed and said "It's not for sale and never will be"

Did you get those bars form MikesXS?

[garrittpwl]

@ZackMartyr yessir

[lstn2leroy]

How did you go about replacing the internal wiring bars? Is there an easy way to do it?

[garrittpwl]

@lstn2leroy I cable tied the wiring the new bars on the bottom side and then I order some new switches and used a bur grinder to notch the switches so they would clamp without crushing the wires.

@japanowner this bike is getting NO MORE Mods, i hate when people take good bikes and cut them up, if your gonna do that at least do it to a junk one.

Dude im jealous

[Choncer]

Awesome. Just started rebuilding a 79 that has been sitting in the elements for 27 years. Lots of work ahead, but this is an inspiration.

Sweet looking xs. Love the tank, exhaust and seat. I'd like to get one. But my plan is to make a street tracker with a Jemco exhaust and rebuilt suspension.

@garrittpwl SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS? NO WAY!!!! I'm thinking in the 1800---2000 range. I have a 1982 kawasaki KZ 440 I got for free with 975 miles on it. It only had 2700 miles when that deer ran out in front of me....it's a little bent now.

[epicdeuce]

@garrittpwl gorgeous bike man cant wait to buy me a xs650. ima chop mine meself but they are great bikes to start out on and keep original if it floats ya boat. Fuck harleys yamaha FTW

[chienferoce]

Since more than thirty years I'm a owner of a xs650. I had other bikes but sold all exept the xs650. It's somekind of a love I guess.
