New Guy from Pensacola

Hello all! I stumbled across this site while I was visiting the Mobile Craigslist site. Im originally from Detroit, but moved to Pensacola about 4 years ago. I look forward to talking with everyone here and helping where I can.

Here is my 1974 Yamaha TX650A. I've modded it quite a bit including a forged 750cc kit/Mikuni Roundslides/Electronic Ignition and a bunch more. Hope you all like it!

Nice ride, I love the XS650 and plan doing one up as a bobber myself! I am not far from P'cola. What part do you live in?

Hey twisted, I'm in NE pcola. Let me know if you need an help with yours when you get it. Thanks for the compliment!

Will do, I am near southeast, so we are not really too close! Also after looking over your bike some more, I see your rear signals are mounted in the old passenger peg mounts....clever!

Clever except that I now have a axle mount plate bracket and it blocks the left signal. Also, both lense covers busted off and I can't seem to find replacements. I'm working on purchasing some new signals and trying to find a new place to mount them. Good eye though!

No actually its the dinky stock 34mm forks. Im thinking of maybe upgrading to the later 35mm forks or running a 2 under DNA springer with a 21" Harley wheel.


Once again thanks for the compliments everyone!

welcome from silverhill.

And by the way, I love those old xs's I would like one just for the fact that t hey have a kickstart. I can't install one on my xj without having to remachine the entire clutch system so on and so forth.
