The engine number should give you an idea of the year as they were supposed to match the frame number. If it doesn't, it's probably the engine number that you will need most anyway. :D

Did it come from the Isle of Man Mike?
When I first moved in with Tazet at her cottage in Surrey, about 10 years ago, (jeez, was it really that long ago?!), there was an XS650 in the shed. It belonged to a friend who lived on the Island & had brought it over to Britain for Taz's ex boyfriend to sell for him. I'm sure they called it the Black Pig, cos it's the same name as my brother's drag car. Don't remember anything about it & didn't really get a good look at it before it went. Would be a small world if it was the same one.
I haven't got many spares for mine, cos I just pick up what I need to use -what are you looking for?
