Hey I just wanted to know where you where going to get the parts you need. I have a 83 kawasaki 750 turbo, I would like to restore it, But I can't seem to find a place to get any parts for it :S. I know its a bit off topic but seeing as your bike as a older bike like mine I am hoping you know something.

Well it's not really fair here, because apparently these Yamaha XS650 bikes are like the Chevy 350 of the bike world, so there's tons of places that sell brand new parts for them. there's manuals online and everything. Unfortunately in your case, I don't see that happening because it seems like a pretty rare and obsolete bike.

Sorry man

So I worked on the bike pretty much all day today. doesn't look like I got that much done, but I felt like I did.

Got the frame pieces tacked together finally, got it all braced so I could take the motor back out.

Also got started on my handlebars: these bars are costing me $14.00 :P

They'll be much shorter than this when they're finally on the bike, but this is approximately what they'll look like, basically just like factory, just longer.

I never get a shot of me welding so......

On a totally separate note, just because I feel like saying it, on Nov. 2nd my wife and I get to find out if we're having a boy or a girl! Yay! Needless to say, I'm excited.


thanks for looking

Seems how she's pregnant they are getting bigger, it's been nice :P

Got some more work done tonight, worked some more on the new bars, they turned out pretty good I thought, still need to finish them up, but they are in their final position.
Here's a few shots:
