Good Morning. I have a newly acquired 78 XS650. I think it's a special? 16" rear tire.
I like working on cycles as a hobby. I bought this one as non running (it's a bit rough) and am sure I will need help after I get it going.

I'm in the same boat with a 1980 model - barn find. I have managed to get it running, and it runs pretty well. Now that I know she runs and there's nothing seriously wrong with the engine, I'm plowing ahead and started on the brakes. The front master cylinder looked like it was filled with brown sugar when I took the lid off the reservoir, so I have work to do. Right now, the master cylinder guts are soaking in some DOT3 brake fluid. Next move, probably tomorrow, will be to pull the rest of the front brake system apart and see if there's anything beyond repair that I need to order to get it on the way.
