    Janesville. I just don’t have time. It’s been out of the bike for 3 years to 2 different mechanics that told me what to order and then bailed.

    This should help people wanting to run forwards and rear disc

    Controls Help

    So the finish line is in sight but I'm stuck on my controls... I bought the vintage throttle from TC Bros and I've been happy with everything but this thing sucks. I also need a clutch lever and brake with master cylinder. Any ideas on what will work? Stocks won't work with the drag bar I'm...

    This should help people wanting to run forwards and rear disc

    I have been looking for ideas since I joined so I just did it myself... TC Brothers forward controls, TC Brothers drum pivot used to make a rear disc setup work. I'll be happy to answer any questions. This setup is awesome!

    My first XS

    About 30 hours of welding, grinding, body filler, sand, repeat. It sucked but I think the results are worth it.

    My first XS

    So here's an update... All the fab work is done and all welds have been filled and smoothed. Due to a lack of infor on using rear disc I bought a MikesXS master and am using a TC drum pivot to make it work with the forwards. Everything has a mounting bracket and its own spot. I built the rear...
