thanks man!

yes, it's inside the wheel between the bearings. but not the long one. #20 in your picture. I've seen it called a tophat spacer.

no, i have those pieces (is the bottom one for the front wheel?) I need the part that is actually inside the hub, and fits inside the large bearing on the sprocket side

I threw away my old wheel bearings like an idiot. It turns out there's a spacer that fits on the larger ID bearing (sprocket side). It's #20 in this picture (not the highlighted parts): http://650rider.com/index.php?name=Forums&file=download&id=279 Thanks!

thanks guys. Sounds like I'll just go with a 13.5" shock in the rear, and tune the front end height to get it feeling the way I want

Hey guys, I'm looking for some advice for rear shock length. I know this has been discussed in great detail, but I couldn't find anything that was specifically directed at a heritage special frame (the shock mounts are 20mm lower, and further forward than the standard frame, which makes the...

Just laced up my 18" front using mikes kit. 18x2.50" aluminum rim with the stainless spoke kit. Looks sweet! Now I gotta get it true and put the tire on... edit: after looking closer I can see my spoke angles don't quite match the rim perfectly. but i don't think it's going to cause a...

I just ordered a 18x2.5" black aluminum rim & stainless spokes for the front. Hopefully I'll be getting the hub powdercoated, and lace them up within the next few weeks. I'll be sure to post pictures once I get somewhere with it

I've got one, I'll send PM

I'm tearing down my '83 XS650 heritage special, and won't be using the TCI ignition system. All the parts are there, but I can't guarantee it works (bike is far from running). Everything seems to be in good shape though. I'm also selling the rotor & stator. The stator is oxidized a little...

I've got a rear wheel on the way, still need just the front hub. Don't need bearings, brake discs, etc. Just the hub please!

I believe my bike is an '83 Heritage Special (vin tag shows build date of 11/82). It is the 48 spoke rear, 64 spoke front combo I checked a parts fiche, and found a couple different part numbers for the rear drum cover. However, I did confirm that the drum cover from my '83 is the same PN as...

Hey guys, I'm looking to change the wheels on my heritage special to the standard 36 spoke style. (They're for sale btw :D) Can I reuse the drum brake on my current 16" rear wheel with the standard rear hub? I found a rear wheel for sale locally, but the drum brake is not included...

so you would recommend a 110 rear, and 90 front?

sweet photo Tim! Think there's room for a wider tire in the rear with this setup? I was thinking of doing 18x2.5 front and rear, but trying a 130/70 or 130/80 tire in the rear. Is that possible?
