WTB XS650 parts

I'm looking for an xs650 447 crank assembly(74 and up). I'm not worried about the condition of the rods or bearings as this will be a donor for a project. Failing the availability of a crank, I would take a motor.

If anyone has a stock swing arm they keep tripping over in the garage I'd be interested in helping you dispose of it. Condition of the paint or bushings is not important.

I would prefer to pick the parts up - I'm in Guelph.
 
Sorry dude .. I've only got 2 of those in the stack of stuff I have, and I sorta need them.
 
I've got a whole running 1974 XS650 for sale... but's in Winnipeg and it's $1500 (with a set of 1979 forks)

Did you ever find a swing arm? I have one from an '82. Where is Guelph?
 
Hey manxman - lets see more of that bike in your avatar. Looks a lot like what I'm building.
 
Guelph is just a tad west and north of Toronto, Canada. I didn't want to pay $30 shipping for a $20 part ....

That's my SR500 project. A tribute to the Norton Manx. Far, far from done.

Nice to see what my bike is sort of heading towards. You can see my Manx-inspired XS650 project here:

I recently found an Evan Wilcox Manx replica tank that was custom made for the XS650 frame. Looks very much like yours - is it by chance by Evan as well?

Nice! Being a twin, I expect yours will more resemble a Triton. One of the most original cafe racers!
Yes, Mr. Wilcox made my tank on order so I paid a premium for it. Would like to find one for a 650 too.
 
I got lucky - someone ordered it and decided to go a different direction. I picked it up for about 1/3 the cost of a new one.

Only thing I was surprised and a little dissapointed by was my monza-filler cap seems to be epoxied in place, not threaded onto a welded on mount. I don't think I could ever replace it. I had a different alloy tank (most of the pics in my thread) which I think came out of the UK. It had a baffle in the tank to control fuel sloshing, and the filler cap threaded on. My Wilcox tank has neither of these features.

But, it sure looks nice! I think it's pretty much identical to the one on your bike - mine has clip-on indentations.
