Sendcutsend is worth using if you need some parts cut. For $30 I got 3 crank trigger wheels and 2 cam trigger wheels shipped. Parts arrived in less than a week and to size.

Pipes are coated, packed and installed. Slowly getting closer to getting it back on the road. Next big thing will be wiring.

Working on the front end. Horn, headlights and motoscope mini are mounted. Working on the number plate to hide everything.
Hey, I've got a question for you. Please forgive my ignorance of the XS650 but I saw on the "latest purchase" thread that you got a 270* rephase pin. Is the purpose of that to rephase the cylinders so they are going up and down opposed rather than together? I've always heard about a significant amount of vibration with these and have assumed the rephase is to settle that down.

You can rephase an XS to 277* without a crank pin, the pin is only needed if you want a true 270*.
Stock on the XS the pistons move up and down together, on the standard 277 and 270 the pistons are about 90* off from each other, so only 1 stops at TDC or BDC at a time. It's supposed to even out power delivery, reduce cranking losses a little and change the vibration to something a little less harsh than stock.
As to if it's worth it, that depends on the rider. Some love it, some hate it.
