Maybe I can help a little bit here. The piece you are trying to use is actually the speedo drive cover for a H-D wheel. So it will not work. You can reuse your original XS bearing cover but you will need to sand just a tad bit off the inside of the leg as the stock cover is just a smidge to...

6 weeks, 1 day, 1 hr, 23 mins and 32 seconds (LOL). Sorry for the delay, it is shipping tommorow. As Sure posted we are running around 5 week turnaround on these. Not busting anybody's chops but we don't get to spend a lot of time on the forums so if you have questions please call or email the...

O.k. boys and girls let me address some of the questions we have been getting. There is no lower rear engine mount. Lets be realistic, the original XS650 mounts are basically overkill as they use 5 mounting locations. On our ridgid frames we only use 3 and have hundreds and hundreds of these...

Coast, when you cut any frame you should have it braced so things don't move around..when you install our hardtail you do not remove the motor this insures there is no spring. Also this hardtail doesn't require anymore welding skill than any other hardtail on the market. Another benefit is...

As with everything we build we like to leave atleast one of the motor mounts out just to keep you guys guessing.. But to answer your question,no there is no lower rear mount.

Guys, First let me say I DO NOT WANT THIS TO TURN INTO A PISING CONTEST which as most internet discussions go I'm sure this will. So I guess let me clarify, this not a response to Slingshot. This is just a post directed at our past, present and potentially future customers. Slingshot is...

I found a code for black(33) but not midnight black. Is it a metallic black? The issue you will run into is cross referencing this code with a modern paint code. If you have a peice that has good paint on it a paint supply house may be able to chorma photo it and give you a match from a car...

?..........

guess what parts of this a real patina and what parts aren't..

Killin' it!

The chances are fairly good but i need to do some research first..Do you know off hand what the major difference is? is that a rubber mount?

jefft, Nothings up with us other than we are building frames like mad men. We have a couple new builds on the lifts and have built a few non xs bike here lately.We try to keep our full build limited and concentrate on the frame side of business. It's more fun seeing what you guys come up with...

Clay, Yep I think that is what has happened. The guy that runs monster craft is also named John and I can tell you our number is good to go,as the phone never seems to stop ringing. I am glad that you have handled this convo well as 9x's outta 10 this sort of thing goes south. I was wanting to...

Clay, I think there was some confusion about who's ad you saw..Yes we have an ad on xs650chopper but it is also clustered with other ads one of which being Monster Craft that has(makes) tensioners.For the record we don't advertise in mags at all..The tensioners we use on our build we make and...
