O.K. I have an engine and carbs from an 1972 Yamaha XS2, so I figured I'd visit my local bike wrecker yard and see If I could find an old frame for this motor and start a build project. The problem is, I could not find a frame or anything else from a 1972 XS2. So the next quesiton is, what other year yamaha frames will fit this engine? I have no welding skills, so I don't want to use something 'close' that requires me to cut and move any mounting tabs or anything so drastic.
Any info is appreciated.
- James.

There are some engine related items, cylinders, gears that are year specific but the engine will fit any year XS frame. I don't know a thing about registering MC's in Canada but XS's are titled to the frame #
