You thought that was cool? N.A.S.A tec
I shot Craig an email, but maybe XS650RR knows - what sort of tank is that on the bike? I'm contemplating an XS650 purchase, and am already thinking about tank/seat combo's. Any suggestions on relatively compatible tanks? What I know so far is the front mounting is the reverse of the Honda's - i.e. the 'cups' are on the frame and the 'posts' are on the tank. I've read that some people drill through the frame and put a rod in there with rubber mounts to mount a Honda tank as an example.
I think I'll probably buy it and immediately pull the engine, wheels and front end so i can put the frame etc. up on the shelf in my garage, and work on the engine in my basement. Figure it would be a year+ long project just tinkering.
one more question - the engine in the bike I'm looking at is a '77, while the frame is a '72. The main engine case, cylinder and head seem to be black with silver edges on the fins, while the engine side covers are aluminum. I've never seen a black engine from the factory - any thoughts?
