    Replacing Rotors with XS1100 sloted rotors

    Just a bit of info on the twin disk conversion. The chrome hose bracket can be obtained from the XS 500. That bike was a single disk but it was located on the other side so all the hardware is opposite the 650.

    Rumor has it...XS650 2014

    V22 was prototyped at the Wilmington DE airport, my backyard. Nothing is cooler than seeing a hovering aircraft rotate it's nacelles and disappear. Plus the sound is different than anything you've ever seen.

    Yamaha XS650 History 1970-1983

    I loved that bike. It was stone stock original except for the twin disks and the solid state regulator. All the original pieces went with the bike when I sold it. Took quite a while to find a source for the paint but it was worth it. Hope it is still on the road. Keep them running. I check...

    I don't know what style it fits into other than my own, so I just call it "Mjölnir"

    XS650 Stuff.

    I think a real G is worth a freakin' fortune. I've seen it listed but that's the first photo I've seen verifying it's existence.

    BIG MOUTH with a microphone!

    Modern has nothing to do with it. Rifled barrel muzzleloaders are just accurate. You just need to be able to squeeze the trigger and sing a chorus of 'Stairway to Heaven' without flinching after an explosion 2" from your eye while waiting for the powder to go boom to be accurate.

    BIG MOUTH with a microphone!

    America is fucked. The second amendment has allowed 1.5 guns per person to flood the country and the solution of the NRA and it's proponents is more guns. As I said, we are fucked.
