XS650

The XT500 is close to being done, but I decided to do some work on my '75 XS650. I traded an old utility trailer for it last summer, but parked it when I found some cam chain guide bits in the oil filter. The engine needs to be removed to fix it, and I'm going to do some other mods at the same time. Somewhere between a roadster and scrambler is the plan so far.

I love these, great dependable bikes, easy to work on, parts aplenty anywhere you look--you can get whole used engines for around $200.00. Great platform, have fun and good luck!
