Update B’s 1979 Yamaha XS650
- 13 Comment
Update:
I bought this 1979 Yamaha XS650, on Craigslist for $1400.00, and I have put in about $600.00, in Wheels, tire, and mods. This bike is running strong and looking good!

What size shocks are they?
The shocks are 11.5″ (292mm).
Next up: I’m chopping OFF the back end! Changing up the Tail Light setup! I’ll send picks when done!
Thanks,

hey what kinda seat did u use for it. i am making my bike basically look the same exact way lol
The seat that is on the bike in the picture, is an xs650 seat that had been cut down and re-leathered! That is why it looks smaller! I’m adding a single bobber seat to the bike right now, and chopping off the back end!
The seat looks good man.
I have that seat in the picture for SALE, if anyone wants to buy it? I also have a chain guard and rear fender and tail light for sale? $25.00 for the seat and $50.00 for the fender and Tail Light!
i’m interested in the seat if you still have it – largolocker at gmail dot com
Yes, the seat is still for sale! I will try to send you an E-mail.
did u end up selling that seat cuz i would be willing to purchase it off of u also.
and what exactly did u do to the back end? and where did u get the parts from. i cant seem to find very much for this bike on the net.
