Hi guys. I have just agreed to buy an XS. This will be my 4th one in in over 35 yrs of biking. I have restored them before and this one I have bought is just about salvageable. However, I intend to do a bit of a custom job on this one so will have some old parts for sale. It that allowed on this site? I intend to build an XS 650 scrambler. I have an Suzuki ER 500 rear mono shock back end and a bandit 600 rear wheel to graft on and have just bid on a pair of XT 660 front forks. I am looking at this as an enjoyable project rather than rushing it out on the road. Anybody else done something like this?? Advise/ warnings welcome. I have a Honda X11 road bike that I use that has had a lot of work done to it and is painted in Ford GT40 colours (. Baby blue and orange..... Well I like it!!). I also have a Montessa trials bike which is great fun. I live around the Dartford area and will be delving into this site regularly for advise and tips. Thanks in advance for your support.
