Just got the 650 cafe project running after a rebuild. No mufflers.
This is my 1977 Yamaha XS650. Me and my dad got it for 0 and have fixed it up to what you see today! When we got it it was faded banana yellow. Paint – just spray bomb with a spray bomb clear coat with hardener. Drag bars/flat bars with bar end mirror 2-1 Mac exhaust Brand new mikuni round slide carbs (36mm, but i can’t remember for sure) In the near future I want to scrap the stock seat and get something more cafe racer styled. Let me know what you think!
My friend’s 1979 honda cb750. After months of work he finally got it up and running. Test Ride. The GraeGoblin. These are all handheld shot with no tripod so I apologize for the shakiness.
This is the next xs 650 motor to get the rebuild treatment. I took my test stand and prepped it for the teardown, wash, paint and build stages. Once together I will install the electrical system and run the motor for break in and tuning.
