Yamaha XS650 question (Honda related)..
« on: December 04, 2006, 05:30:05 PM »
Anyone of you Honda guys have a XS650? I need to know if the shift lever will fit on a CB750 spline. I found a company that makes a long shifter for larger people. It's cheap too.

Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

I've got a 650; I'll see if it fits.  You find that bigfoot lever at mikesxs?  That place is awesome; I get all my XS parts there.

I just checked a Honda gearchange lever on 550 shaft and on XS650 shaft
Fits perfect.
 Suzuki use a much coarser spline.

i love this forum.
in less than 24 hours you were able to find someone who has both of these old bikes and the good nature to check and report back IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS.  if this site disappeared the internet would be much less impressive to me.
