Oil Cooler
The XS650 has a tendency to run on
the hot side, and the addition of an oil cooler seems like a sensible modification.
If you wish to allay the cost of having this work done by doing it yourself,
here are some photos showing how it is done. See how...
A different approach can be viewed at this site.
Adding a second front
disk
Additional breaking power
on the imported XS models can easily be achieved by adding a second disk
and calliper.
Note: the alloy sliding
type callipers require a larger master cylinder (easy to source) however
for the older cast iron type a larger master cylinder is very hard to find.

the subject by Steve Cooper here.
