Hello Everyone!

Name is Jason & I'm from Ks. I have a 1981 XS650 that I love! My previous bikes have been a 650 Maxim, GS550, Katana 1100, 883 Sportster, a CX500c & a 750 Shadow.

This XS better than any of them! I have wanted an xs for quite some time, but never had the chance until last week so I jumped on it. It does have a charging issue though that I am optimistic in sorting out.

I will probably do more searching than asking for answers, but I'm sure I'll have a ton!

Anyway, just wanted to say "hello"

Thanks for the welcome. I'm in Hutchinson. I almost bought a Silverwing once, we just couldn't agree on a price. They are pretty durable.

Hutch is not so close to me. I was thinking of riding out to the KS motorcycle museum in Marquette, KS, south of Salina. Have you been there?

I attended school in Hesston, never even knew there was a bike museum close by. Been out to Hutch a few times on beer quests.
Oh yeah... Welcome to the forum!!

I've been past the museum many times, but never when they were open. The wife & I come to KC fairly often. it's only about a 3hr trip if that.
