OK. This has a lot of words... I'll keep it as clear as I can. The Bike: 1975 XS650b. Stock Alternator (field excited). The Variables: M-Unit Blue (I cooked my M-Unit V2 - moron that later). Antigravity 4 cell battery (Cooked an 8 cell and a 4 cell too - this is getting old and expensive)...

please, good sir, throw us another crumb. :)

I have ne I just removed. It was rom a 75. The rear fender ears have been removed.

Sadly, no. Parted that out to fund my yacht.

Shots two. The blems and extra parts (new rubber mounts, Pingel petcock adapters, and extra cap parts). The ding in the right fron side. It's about a quarter/nickel size. There is a slight crease on the left side but it's hard to see in person and in shots. The paint on the top is egg shelling...

Shots set one Side shots, bottom of tank, new cap.

Ha. Yeah. Posted on another forum too. The tank is really in great shape. Just not stored in a box, wrapped in cellophane, and devoid of fingerprints. If it's too rich, don't buy it. If you find one on ebay for less money, and it's in good shape, definitely buy that one. I would have. The...

Adios.

250 plus shipping. Located in Austin. 1979 XS750 Tank. Black original paint. Decals. Light rust on the weld lip. Creamed by PO. All threads for petcocks are in good shape. Comes with: Brand new cap. Pingel Petcock adapters (not mounted). All new mounting rubber. That's worth about $60 right...

I just noticed this is in the BOTM forum. I have no idea how it ended up in here. Sorry, folks. Admin, feel free to delete. I quit the internet now.

I really like the analog dial look, otherwise I could get all readouts on one easy-to-read solution.

XS650 - Brat/Cafe-ish build. I like clean trees. Used to running neither on my old scoot. Would like to know revs, but thought I would get feedback before I bought a speedo delete. What say you?

I'm at the point of figuring out paint. Thinking about painting my wheels while I get everything else done. I don't want to powdercoat and weaken the old metal under heat. What are the pros and cons of painting complete wheels? Has this ever bitten anyone in the ass after the fact? Any...

Paint looks great. Killer Scheme. Love the player one button. Never seen that before.

You wouldn't happen to have a link to this Tim's XS build would you? Can't find it. I might also add, my scooter club is throwing the Dallas Rockers V Mods that the ad is promoting over there... worth a visit.

Thanks to you both (The "Mod" label is truly tongue-in-cheek). Yes to the scooter being manual. Wouldn't have it any other way. Calling myself a "Rocker" would be like calling myself an athlete: I played soccer when I was 6. You get the idea. Finally got the bike home this week. First on the...

A quick update: I picked up an XS650. It's in Dallas until I can get my truck there to load it up. It's in need of oil and a battery before I can really get an idea of what it's doing, bit it's generally in good shape. I will be hitting it hard asap.

Been looking around the web and can't find an answer to this question: There is a local 69 CB450 that "needs a stator" (I'm guessing it has a charging issue and the stator is the assumed problem). What years are the 69 compatible with and where would one find a new stator or a repair service...

Thanks, guys. Pretty excited to get this going. Been trolling Craigslist like a kid with a JC Pennie's catalog at Thanksgiving. Besides Ebay, is there another good resource for finding a bike? I'm not afraid of a little drive to get a bike. The 750 is a bit more grunt than what I want (or could...
