Well, My weekend...

Partially consisted of replacing some ugly yellow spark plug wires and black NGK caps on the '83 XS650 (from previous owner)  and some riding on Saturday and Sunday
Here's the new wires and caps.  Wires are black 7mm (picked up from ebay), caps are NGK vintage red, also from Ebay.  Well this was an easy swap that took about 5 minutes.  I noticed that I'm getting a lot better performance from the new stuff.  I also swapped out the rusted engine bolts for some new chrome acorn bolts.  The new bolts are shiny, look at them^^^^up there.

Been a crazy past few weeks, but finally a day off work


Hurricane Sandy gave me a day off which ment some much needed free time to spend on the XS650.  It's far from finished, but it's cool that it's starting to look more like the motorcycle I've had in my mind for so many months.
