Alright, I've searched and can not find a similar post. If you know of one please point it out. My bike is running very rich and I think it's a electrical issue with the bike running so crappy. I can get it started easily enough, but it runs really rough, however, when I turn the lights on (a...

Just wondering if anyone has ever bought or used turn signals like this before? LED Mini Bullet Turn Signals If so, how bright are they? Do you like them? etc. Mainly looking for some feedback before a purchase. If not, any other suggestions? Thanks

I thought I'd post this beauty of a bike that is currently for sale on eBay. This guy obviously knows his way around a 650. So much detail, I wish I had the funds for this. :banghead: 1980 Yamaha XS XS650 cafe Anyone know what type of spark plug setup this is? Or how to achieve it? Found...

Spurned on by another member, who challenged my way of thinking about asking questions, I decided to do a little research on the question asked. So here is a little information I found on the web about SS brake lines. Note: I did not write this, I just found it. Please feel free to add or...

I wish I had the money for this....:doh: 1975 xs650 - $700 (cottage grove) WI Just what it says. Also have a '72 thats mostly taken apart as spare parts. I have a title for the '75. I love this bike and I'm only selling it because I need the cash. No tire kickers and no low ballers. I...

I'm trying to figure out what hardtail will work the best for me. I was in the process of turning my bike into a brat, when I got a little grinder happy. Needless to say, I dork up the rear end of the frame enough that I now am left with two choices. :banghead: The cool part is I already...

I'm just if anyone has made their own hand controls? I was thinking something like this: Any ideas on how to go about making something like this? Teebs? Thanks All A22 :thumbsup:

I know it's been posted and I've read the threads, but I guess I've missed something. But is there a resource out there for a tach cable cover that isn't from MikesXS? (nothing against mikes, i just put an order in) According to the reading I've done it's either a 16mm or 14mm. The interweb has...

So I'm working on moving the shocks on my bike and I noticed that the left side of the frame is bent different than the right side where the battery is supposed to be. Is this normal for this year or do I have an odd ball frame? :wtf: If it's normal, does anyone have a left over rear end...

Ok I know the info is out there, and I've seen them before, but now I can't seem to find any for the life of me. :doh::banghead: Would someone kindly provide me some links of places where I can buy some 3-4" risers for my bike? I'm just looking to raise my handlebars up more than stock...

Has any ever made a set of clip on bars for their bike? Any one have any ideas on how to do it without a welder? :shrug:

Found this on the Interweb...and ideas on how to do something similar on an XS? My spedo cable broke on a ride and the internals are lost somewhere on the highway, does anyone know what size the ends of the cables are...the flat parts?

Simple and straight forward question: How do you remove the stock headlight ears? Do you pull the forks down until you can pull off the ears or is there trick? Thanks

I'm looking for a set of 10.5" shocks that won't cost me an arm and leg. I'm willing to give the arm, but not the leg. Found some on E-bay, but the shipping kills me. Let me know if you have anything. Thanks A22 :thumbsup:

So I'm looking to get some tubing bent like in the picture below: I contacted a guy in the area, who happened to be on the 650 garage board, and he quoted me $90. I'm new to fabricating and don't have the tools or skills to do what I want...yet, so I'm wondering if this is a fair price...

Hello All Maybe a stupid question,one already asked, or already a thread, but I'm wondering what parts I'd need to make an 81 into a hardtail? Of course the hardtail, I was thinking a David Bird Loop, 0 stretch, 2 drop. A solo seat setup; seat, springs, anything else? New exhaust - Gordon...

Hey all I'm looking for someone to do some minor fabricating to my bike. There are two welders/fabricators near me, but they work on farm equipment. So my question is do I go to someone who hasn't worked on a bike before, or should I find someplace that works on bikes? Either way can anyone...

So the fall seems to be settling in...and I still have work to do on my bike. So I'm wondering what you guys do for heating your workspace? I'm thinking an oscillating radiant heat unit. Any thoughts?
