This is exactly the type of info I was looking for! Thanks guys!

I guess my reasoning for posting is straighten everything around with these. I see so many different kits I don't know what works with which parts and pieces or what will work properly on my motor. Thoughts?

I understand all of your points of view. I regularly spray WD-40 into the cylinders and turn the motor over. This was a running motor when it was parked. Although it did not run well. I have 2 or 3 sets of factor 34 mm and 38 mm Mikuni carbs for these motors. I have taken them apart and...

I'm looking to get back to work on my bobber. It has been sitting in the garage for the past 9 years and I haven't touched it. Last I had it out I was having issues with the ignition, and I have had plenty of charging issues in the past with XS 650s. Any insight/ education on PMAs and...

This is the best advice anyone can give on building one of these bikes. Like I said I've been 5 years and I'm still not done. I could have probably built 3 bikes between all the money I spent and parts I had. Do you man. If you want a cool ass bobber just buy the run of the mill stuff. Some...

Definitely look and look and decide what you want. I started my hard tail build 5 years ago and haven't finished it yet. Now I wished I had made it into a "soft tail" bobber. But they are super cool non the less. I can not wait to finish mine!

This is great! I love to see little guys making it in the bike building. I started my bobber build 5 years ago and just haven't had the time to finish it. I would love to some day open a shop of my own! I just have one question for you. Do you think it's safe to remove the top center engine...

I may be interested. I am looking for a choke assembly and the bar that operates the choke. Will you ship them to NY?

Hey man. I'm in Shortsville and I'm interested in the carbs. What are you looking to get for them?

Both bikes have been sold. Thanks for the space.

Thanks for the info 650Skull. I really like this bike with the mag wheels and the drum brakes. I had an 80 Special with disc brakes at one time. Nice bike just didn't have that look this bike does. Sorry for the typo on the 81. At one time I tried to study these bikes and learn all the...

Yea I am in Shortsville, NY.

Not looking to separate either bike.
