Introduction

Hello, I've been posting to various Yamaha XS650 sites under the "handle" of '5twins' for around 20 years now. I chose that "handle" because at that time, I owned 5 twin cylinder motorcycles. Bikes have come and gone over the years but I still own around 5. I currently have 2 XS650s, a '78 Standard and an '83 Special. I've fixed both of them up and modded them slightly to make them better bikes ......

I plan on listing many of the tools and parts I use, along with links .
