Yeah I have considered getting it engineered. I can do, around $900 for it. I would need to make a few changes though... switch blocks on bars, exhausts, chain guard, fenders too short, side mount number plate, ADR rear tail light and number plate light. Thats honestly about all. They are all...

Yeah absolutely mate, it IS a shame but I need the $ to move to the next toy. I have it all sorted now yes, and feel like a hunter. I have done my watching, then began the hunt, spent lots of time tracking, hunting and finally pulled the trigger. Enjoyed the beast for a while and now time to...

Yep. A mate if mine. Bad timing but that's how it goes. Another 6 or so still in the pack. If I could I would keep it and just start the next project but with family I have to be fair. Mine is on eBay now too. Posted via Mobile

Haha. No drama. The front fender was something I picked up (full size) at a wrecker. Then began modifying it to my liking. It was line of sight work and grinding. No drawings or anything at all. Sorry Posted via Mobile

No prob. I hear you. Stock xs650s are $5k here. Basket case between $1500 and $3k. Anything running will be over $3500 min. Like mustangs over there. Here a 66-69 Mustang is $20k for a rust bucket. :-( Posted via Mobile

Hey livingdeadmc, not sure if your comment means 8gs is too little or too much? Here a stock XS is around 5k so thought 8gs was fair. It will go on eBay and the for sale sights in about a week. Currently on the forums first for the members. Forgot to add. It's got rego till august next...

Thanks Dog Bunny - appreciate the quick response. I grabbed a few and will get it all buttoned up. :D

Hi Everyone, Anyone know the thread size (bolt size) of the 2 bolts that hold the brake splitter onto the lower triple? They look like an M6 or so... but not sure. Im out and about and need longer ones so was hoping if someone knew I could grab em on my way home. I am mounting a thicker...

Ok all good. Put more advance in and plugs are perfect. I believe my bike is finally tuned!!! Ridden ALL day today, 50kms then 5kms then 6kms etc. Sweeet! Posted via Mobile

Hey Brother, As of about 1hour ago she is awesome. However I had to turn the plate to almost FULL advance (counter clockwise) and now it's great. Plugs look pretty lean but ok. Happy days. Going for a ride tomorrow so will see. Pete! Posted via Mobile

Hi XSLeo, 1981 XS BS34 carbs rebuilt all stock needles and jets. Floats set to 24mm and needle dropped a slot. Open pipes but with baffles that close things up a lot and pod filters. Did 300kms on it on last run and it was great until it spun the copper cup for e-advance. I put in...

Hey XSLeo, Yep read re-read and printed then re-read carb guide. I have stripped and rebuilt my carbs myself. The last time someone who knew XS carbs better did it. The timing I did correct. Lines up to TDC to make sure cam was dialed in correctly but timing was done between F marks...
