My mind's made up on the mufflers. I picked up a very nice XSB exhaust (headpipes and mufflers) in better than average shape for a GREAT price....less than that single muffler sold for on ebay. I AM g ...

Do you have any idea how rare a nice set of XS650B exhaust are? I'm sure gonna use them and not gonna modify them.

Maybe I should just have the head cleaned and valves lapped?

So you're saying that I won't benefit from mild headwork if I run the stock exhaust?

I picked up a nice '76 head with good fins. I have access to a local shop that will hot tan ...

And just think, Pete, you were gonna let it go by the wayside.

The colors are easy enough to find. I'd like to find the FORMULA for mixing theses colors.

I'd like to see the spiked gas cap and a price.

It might help if you post your location. Maybe a member is local and would be interested.

You just contradicted yourself. Is it stock or is it ...

Yep, one of three that I still have. It's up for sale, along with my '70.
I have too many toys and need to thin the herd. I'll also have at least one XS650 up for sale next Spring.
Here's the VW. ...

The wheels are painted and the lips lightly polished, sort of a satin sheen on the lips.

To make room under the tank for all the wiring, he welded on a small piece of box tubing. To that, he added a small section of round tube to hold the 1-2 cable connector for the carbs.

We mounted the rear fender, engine and shocks and actually put it on the ground. That's when we found out the rear whee ...

The Pamco is way worth it.
It's my understanding that torque cones are for larger exhaust on (usually) worked engin ...

The frame sure looks different than the one in that link. How would you get the engine out with all that bracing in the way!?
