Got it !!!
233.5 miles round trip and a nice day with my stepson, which our schedules haven't allowed very often.
I revealed to him, 'bout 7 miles from looking at the bike, that it's his B-Day gift for his 41st at the end of this month.
After we got it home he told his Mom (SWMBSO) that today reminded him of when he turned 8 yrs. old when I built his first mini- bike and again when he turned 12 and I bought a pristine Honda SL70 also for his B-Days.
The bike is all there except for the chain lock, even the tool kit is there.
It's all original, except for the mirrors I think, and was bought from the dealer with the high back seat. Pretty much a barn find with 11,827 miles on the clock.
A couple pics and more to come:

From the pics, those are stock mirrors. They changed them across the XS Special line for 1981. Mike's XS has replicas available.
The backside looks the same as yours. I have a set, still in the box.
I wanted a new XS650 Special in 1983. The Yamaha dealer in Daytona Beach had one with that seat on it and wouldn't swap it back to stock. IIRC, the price was over $2500. I bought my new bike someplace else with the stock seat and an $1800 price.
That is a nice score. Congratulations!Last edited by jetmechmarty; 01-03-2016, 11:13 AM.Marty (in Mississippi)

Thanxs Everyone !!!
Marty, thanks for the clarification of the mirrors, not sure if they'll be used or stashed away yet.
Got a chance to do some pre-project disassembly evaluation today.
PO has silicone caulking in the pilot screw recesses not sure yet if the screws are there or not
Tank looks clean . . .
BUT . . . unrepairable
Is this the whole sending unit ? Is it a thermister ?

That's the whole sending unit.
I don't know how it works, but I have one from an old, grungy, tank and it works fine.
It is binary - ON/OFF only for the warning light in the tach.-Mike
