I've posted a bit about this build in the XL600 thread, starting somewhere around
here.
However it's gotten to the point where I think the bike build should have its own thread... so here it is!!
Way back in my 20's, let's say some time around 1990 or so, I had another XL600R. I think it was a 1984 model.
Here are a few pictures I've dug up of that FIRST BIKE:
And here are a few pictures I dug up of the CURRENT BIKE: (Amazingly, these are the ONLY pre-teardown pictures I took of the bike...)

More to come.....
