The bike appears to be in pretty good shape for a '69, Doc! Thanks for posting the photos. We eagerly await your updates! :)

That's a sweet old bike. I can see the origins of the XS650, just like Reveeen says.

A Great Classic {real motorcycle in my book} Thanks for posting the pictures! No pun intended... I just think the Vintage bikes have more class than what's built today. |

I cleaned and degreased the bike, and I'm charging the battery. I lubed the cables, and checked the oil(s). There are THREE oils to check. Engine (dry sump) primary chain, and transmission. Everything on this little bike is different, and not particularly easy to work with. It's not hard to see how the Japanese killed the British motorcycle industry in about a week. :roll:
A little wax and polish it looks pretty OK given it's age. With that said this old gal has a lot of character and personality. It's fun. I sure am filthy though. :wink: |

Each British bike has it's own personality. As time goes on, you will learn your bike's personality, and eccentricities...... probably being filthy most of the time. |
FD,
Do you have a set of Wentworth tools? My father had a good set when we use to wrench on the old Brit bikes and old Rolls Royce and Jaguar autos but sold the whole lot when he died. |
I don't but have noticed the bolts to be metric, SAE, and none of the above. :wink:
