My 1975 Yamaha XS650B / Winter Projects

;D

I think, either I am going nuts or my OCD is kicking in. What started with a clean up of the bike has turned into a good few projects

Carbs are rebuit, petcocks too; instrument bracket, pods, airboxes and risers all sandblasted and powdercoated...

Here is the link to a few images of before and after pictures of my perfect winter projects

I hate the snow...

Wow. Looking great so far. How did you get the petcocks so clean and shiny?

+1 on the shiney petcocks. It all looks good.

Thanks guys,

I really lucked out, because the only thing that I did was soak both of them in carb cleaner overnight and then brushed them using my mother-in-law's toothbrush (highly recommend it as it is strong enough to charm the paint off the walls ;D ) and a few q-tips...
