Welcome, TC,

Find yourself a nice '77 "D" to chop---and hang on to those old useless stock parts...I know someone--and it's not Pumps--who can always use stock bits... Laughing Laughing

Seriously, Welcome!

OK, we can share, but don't tell anyone else...... Wink

It's not really pretty-it's a ten footer..or even a twenty footer. Oh it needs so much! But I have picked out the color of the new paint when it's time.

Hello,I will keep all the stock part's and tag them for quick reference later.I love to barter for bit's and peices.I traded the one inch bars that didnt fit the springer riser's yesterday for a two peice seat from my freind Chuck .he has a totally stock 83 xs 650 in his garage parked next to his 08 Raider in raven red.these bikes will never lose their apeal.Mr. yamaha got it right with the xs 650! Very Happy I cleaned the carbs yesterday and it had what looked like a dyno jet kit in the with #45 on the decell jet's it doesnt pop and purr's like a kitten. Very Happy
