Jack - I'm new to this board and also to the XS650 which I recently bought. To me, half of the fun of motorcycling is working on them. Many years ago, I did a lot of work on a 2 cycle dirt bike, extensive porting plus other mods which paid off big time, and also some porting on a Norton and previously on a hot 66 Corvair (could beat a stock GTO any day in the 1/4).
I'd love to port the XS650 but wouldn't know how to best proceed without posts like yours. THANKS VERY MUCH!!!
If you do get more info or better pictures, please post them. I can't afford to have the work done but might attempt it with the great info you've contributed.

Yes, Shell is still kicking it. Call him early in the morning and talk loud. At least that's what I've heard. I'm sorry I don't have the number. Cheers, 50gary

I have a basic question regarding porting. I have 36 mm carbs and the intakes on the heads measure 33mm. Do people just grind the intakes out to 36 mm or is there a flange that takes this down to 33-34 mm? With intake valves at 41mm and oversize at 43 and 44 (for Branch valves), do people run even bigger carbs, 38mm or 40mm? Seems a lot of folks use 34's and 36's.
