    What have you done to your XS today?

    I just stumbled on this thread. Interested in the Motorcycles on Main. Do you know if it’s still an event? Is it more of a Harley thing?

    Repaint; touch up bare areas

    I’ve sanded multiple areas where either the paint blistered or chipped. blistering as a result of gas dripping. So the sanding took care of borders where the paint meets metals. The highs and lows. so surfaces are now flush. What I could use is some advice with what can I clean the oils, etc...

    Starting point for carb setup

    Not sure if there is a list for this On here, or anywhere. I've noticed a main issue is card setup. If not the most requested inquiry. Would it be a benefit to have a suggested starting point diagram of every scenario dealing with what size, set point, etc. when it comes to jetting, mix screws...

    How does the needle jet play into performance?

    I apologize for my ignorance. And to you. The 3 1/2 out was referring to air fuel screw which specs suggest 2 1/4 to start with. When I made that and other statements like that I guess I was seeking a reaction when I should of put it to a question. At times I get to lazy to do my research and...

    How does the needle jet play into performance?

    I’m going to get the Z2’s. What you said in reference to the needle jet made sense. I did intend to move the needle up. But leaving the Z6 in would be in the negative. I assumed with air pods and 2 into 1 I would have to riches something so I thought I’d start with the needle. When I got the...

    How does the needle jet play into performance?

Don't know what effect it creates by leaving them in there. Only mods I've done is pods and 2 into 1 exhaust. Still has a 135 main...

    new HHB combo ignition charging system overheating stator wires..help

    I've had this complete cdi ignition system for awhile now but only have an hour of run time on it and its faultless in my opinion. My only problem is being minimal as my circuit side is, powers on/off switch, no kill, no battery, kick only, that nothing stays on unless I hook up a battery to it...

    Installed a complete cdi ignition kit from Hugh's Hand Built. Went batteryless using Sparx capacitor. As far as components I'm only running a 55/60 h4 headlight, brake lights, electric tach and speedo, horn. No kill switch, power on/off button. Anyway everything was working for a couple of...

    Need wiring diagram; installed Hughs Handbuilt CDI

    I realize there are plenty of wiring diagrams already available on here but I'm pretty sure I have a reason to feel like I need to go with something different. Mainly because I installed Hughs Handbuilt newer CDI kit. Because he got to a point where he had excessive amounts of inquiries as how...
