Wow thanks. I think this will be my new exhaust setup. (Though I do also love the look of high pipes. I’m all over the place.) I’ll...

That seems like the move. Address the exhaust all at once and jet accordingly. I love the angles and flow of yours.

Love those. My last bike had reverse cones. So the 1 3/8 size isn’t a problem? Also if you don’t mind my asking, where are the headers...

Yeah that’s about where I’m at. I’m going to change the bars to my liking and hang these from the rafters for now. Can always refit...

Ok thanks. I’m going to be honest with you and maybe it’s because my only bike was even older, some of these words are new to me. Time...

Thanks for the tip. I’m just learning who’s who. I went from thinking of a bike to a deep dive into XS650s in about a week. On my...

Thank you. I’ll be revisiting this reply because while it is a fun ride I wouldn’t mind smoothing a few things out. I’d love to get the...

Thanks for a thorough and thoughtful reply. No, I won’t be hardtailing it. A couple of decades of tattooing and now parenting in my 40s...

Good to know, will jot that down on the post-it note stuck to the cover of the dirty old manual that came with it. Even just this little...

Thanks. Yeah it was just poor foot positioning and being unfamiliar. The bike was on an inclined driveway. My last bike was kick only...

Picked her up! Pretty instantly (as in I hadn’t even left the guy’s driveway) pulled or tore a muscle slipping off the kicker from...

Of course. Makes perfect sense.

Your bike looks great. Wild, I wonder what made the seller think 77. I don’t know enough to care from one year to the next but I think I...

Among the first things to go will be the slash cuts though the sound is nice. Too cruiser for my liking. Glad you found your way back to...

Beautiful and yes, I’m looking forward to having a bike with parts and options that are a bit more…accessible. And thanks for the tip!

Interesting. It was listed as a 77 but then my Triumph was sold as a 66 and it was cobbled together from a 66 frame, 68 engine, and 69...

I just checked it out. Lots to love about that one.
