I don't feel so bad now.
Is your XSB red or black? I just learned of the red ones offered down there. I also have seen a pic of an orange '73 TX, I would like to see more of that one.

Cheers Razar,
Nudude 53 my xs was black with a special fuel tank on it when I bought it for $1000 , I have fitted a standard tank , black with gold striping . Got it on ebay from the USA for $110 delivered. It holds 15 litres instead of 10 in the special. I think the XS1B were red , they are a few years earlier than mine.

8-1 is nice!
Hey snap, welcome aboard. Post some pics of that bike of yours when you can.
Are you running 2 petcocks with that standard tank?

Welcome snap
and Hey Nudude why did you have to show the red 75, I like the black. It's so sharp I had to buy it as soon as it came out. No offense snap but if red was all they offered that year in the states I'd have probably bought the 750 honda. Enjoy the site and you'll find out soon enough, a lot of differing opinions are shared here w/ 1 common denominator...we love 650's

Hi to Wally , Nokitov , NJ1639.
I like the black myself , black and chrome is nice . I will post pics when I get my photos sorted off my phone.
I am a member of the XS 650 Club of Australia , well I have to check if my membership is up to date as I have not recieved the latest news off them ?
I am looking for a seat and a head to do work on fellas if you know of any.
Yep I am using two petcocks on my tank.
