    Does anyone know why the Brat Kits were quit being built?

    I have been looking for quite a while for a Visual Impact kit. Nothing to be found. I like the style of the VI kit better than the Monster Craftsman but........ tim

    Gudgeon circlips.

    I remember using plastic {Teflon?} button circlips on a couple of old unit construction Triumphs. I don't remember having trouble with them, but it was a long time ago..... tim

    1977 XS650 worth ?

    Hi Hazzy---From your pic this looks very sorted. Nice tank, paint, wheels, two into one exhaust, seat. Engine looks like the right side under the exhaust may be some leakage. may just need a head retourc...... You could not put this bike together for $2200. Just my 2 cents. Good luck

    Rear drum mag and disc mag

    Rear drum [mag or spoke] has a much cleaner look on a hardtail. Get out your drill , a few bits and spend some quality with your mags. ..... tim
