Hi, been a couple of years since the bike was going again. I am trying to look at photos in this thread and it just shows a clock about photobucket I can open pics in other threads? http://www.xs650.com/threads/starter-gear-fix.18060/ Any ideas on what to do, I can remember seeing the photos 2...

G'day all, Looking for any ideas but think I;m just hoping for an easy out on this problem. The thread on the engine case that takes the gland nut (or whatever you call it) that the pipes fits to is stripped bad. Now this engine has a total of 60 Klm's on it from a total 750 rephase...

G'day, I'm thinking about running a single light for neutral mounted separate to the speedo. My vast knowledge of what an LED and what a Resister is comes from about an hour on google last night. So from what I can gather I need to know; The Volts I'm using, I'm not sure on this...

G'day, Can I get a heads up on whether this will work on an O or X ring chain. It comprises a Plumb Bob, a Socket & a Clamp. The angle on the Plumb Bob is 40 Degrees not sure if that's enough angle to spread the rivet.

G'day, My Frame is 73 TX and I've bought Mikes 1 3/4" pipes. Problem is these line right up centred at my bottom mount bolt. This means the pipes are too low to clear the sidestand, the pipe on the left sticks out way wider than I want. I tried a bolt on side stand and this is even worse...

G'day, I had an idea for a lifting jig for removing/ installing the engine. It's based on adjustable lifting forks we use on job sites for craning pallets to different areas. I'm sure someone else would have done this already but I haven't seen one before. It packs away nice and compact...

G'day, Another one of my many questions on wiring this thing from scratch. HEADLIGHT -I'm using a K&S handlebar switch (15-0055) It has Headlight main Low Beam Hi Beam as separate wires I wired main through to power (fuseblock) I wired low to low on the headlight I wired hi to hi on the...

G'day, I've staretd the wiring on my bike, so far I've got the head lights to go on and off with HI/Lo. I got a kill switch direct from Hong Kong today with no description for the wires. It has 2 wires, 1 Green & 1 Black & White. It's off or on, not momentary. The diagram I have for...

G'day, this from my build thread still looking for advise if possible. CHAINS", Hhow many choices are there? Advice needed. I'm running a streched swingarm with a measurement of app: 26 1/2 " from Centre to Centre on the sprockets. I've got 2 new sprockets 17/35-530. Can someone advise on...

I just ordered some parts from Mikes What's happened with his shipping prices, he's making more off that than the parts. $39.95 for 0.66lb shipped to Aus. Looks like it's time to start using speedandsport a lot more often.

Hi, I've got a build post happening and if say 3 people respond with something similar to something I've put up. How do I include all 3 in my response to them, I've seen it on here other threads but no idea how to do it. Pete

G'day all, I been watching for quite a while and listed a couple of questions previously so reckon I should put my build on as it's getting to the pointy end and I'm gonna need a shitload of help to get through it without setting fire to it or somrthing similar. I think I've loaded some...

G'day, I've got 34mm forks and I'm looking at running without a front fender. I looked at the Gordon Scott brace but they're for 35mm forks. Is there anything out there to work as a straight bolt on to tighten the Front End.

G'day, I just went to purchase some stuff from South Side Kustoms. Their site says Paypal secure but when I went to the checkout It would only accept payment as below: Payment Method This is currently the only payment method available to use on this order. Credit Card via CRE Secure...

G'day, I'm still fairly new here, and still green building this bike, awesome site for knowledge. My bikes a TX bitsa, when I got it it was stuffed. Engine a 256 with 447 rods and no 2 bolts matching etc. It's now got an extended swingarm and 750 rephased motor kick only. I still need to...

Haven't seen this mob listed before, I've manged to get parts I had just about given up on. Should be good for the blokes doing a resto. Worth a lokk if you haven't already http://speedandsportinc.com/

Hi guys, This is my 1st question on the site, I've had a look at the forum on wiring diagrams from previous and there are so many I don't know where to start. When I look at wiring diagrams my brain starts to hurt, my eyes go foggy and I get dizzy. I'm starting with the wiring from...

G'day all, First time asking something. I just pulled my forks apart on my 73 and the springs measure 400mm long 650 Central has "Progressive Suspension" Early Model Fork Springs Improves handling and retains OEM geometry. For the 72-76 with 34mm diameter fork tubes. These are a 30/40...
