Sorry guys been away for a day or two unexpectedly but caught up on PMs. I have the jug head etc left if anyone needs one. Thanks Ian.

76 Motor up for grabs everything except carbs. Needs 2 pistons and boring cleaning and reassembling. A knowledgable motorcycle mechanic said it needs a complete going through on top end. Bottom end is fine. Even throwing in both partially polished side covers. I am getting rid of it as we...

Bought a wheel from Briandrex. Great wheel Great price shipped fast and well packaged.

I was reading an article or two and looking at other resources on the web regarding adding some rake to the neck. 36 degrees seems to be around the most popular. My hardtailed frame came to me as a roller with an 18 rear and 19 front and seemed to have a ride height of about 5 inches. I am...

After 30 years in the oil and gas industry Offshore and Onshore I find that Red Wings or Carolinas work real well. Doc Martens used to make some decent steels too. Jasper said it best Good boots and a good bed are a must for a working man.

Bill No worries I have a spare set I will trade you if you like. PM sent

I am a bit lost here. Whilst not a newb to riding or bikes in general I am a newb to the XS650 and its intricacies and foibles so to say. I was just wondering while I have my checkbook out who I make out my 'dues' check to? I make payment to MikesXS and other parts vendors for parts or...

I just found a front wheel from a 75 it was complete and came with the axle and all the spacers.I shall be relacing it. My question was is that I shall not be running a speedo so is there a way to do away with the gear unit and use another year spacer/spacers etc to give the front axle a cleaner...

Cant wait to see it all done and mounted up on the bike. Thats going to look superb.

Trying to read up all I can about wheels etc. I am using wire wheels on my build. For the rear I am using a standard hub with a 36 spoke chromed steel rim. I am now Desperatley seeking a front wheel. The front end I am using is from a 1980 so its 35mm forks so I gather I need to look for a wire...

Do you have a 19 inch front wire wheel 77 and up? If so I would very much like to purchase one. Ian.

As far as fabrication advice goes there are many experienced fabricators here on the board. And if you saw some of their work (particularly Gordon Scotts) and craftsmanship you would know you are in the right hands advice wise. From a newbies perspective who lives in the ass end of nowhere...

Have a complete spare motor I took the top end off and everything looks pretty good but it will need new pistons and rings. The motor is from the number a 76. There is no damage to the bore but it sat so long it froze up. Looking for a 77 or newer front wheel. Thanks Ian.

Even just a hub with axle and any needed spacers would be cool.

So after a lot of debate BS rules and regs by the state of PA and a wait time of 3 to 4 months for a local guy to weld on a hardtail section I found a frame already done(mostly) with a title for 400 bones so I went with it. The hardtail is a homebrew job and the guy did a pretty good job of...

I need a 77 or newer Front wheel 36 spoke. Preferably with axle and and any needed spacers to mount it. I have the brake setup so dont need none of that. Live in PA so if there is anything local thats great but if your willing to ship that would be great. Let me know what you have and how...

Pyrocentric, I think you are absolutely right. I regularly travel and have never had a bag go missing or stolen from that contains a firearm. On the other hand when I have travelled without it has seemed that bag has been fair game for being looted, stolen completely or lost...
