    Hey all, As you can tell, not much progress has been made, turns out college takes up a lot of your free time. It is also quite difficult to transport a bike to California and then Hong Kong, and therefore, I've decided to sell it. If you know anyone in the Chicagoland area looking for a good...

    Thanks for the welcome, I'll check out the thread! Awesome advice, thanks a lot grizld1. I like the knobbier look (Shinko 244, Bridgestone TW42/39, Kenda K761) and have been mocking up tire geometries to make sure they'll fit (now that I know how it works). Yea, so I've read, still not...

    I will photochop your bike.

    I love the general feel of this forum in that people just do something and see how it turns out and then do it again if it isn't how they want it, seems to work great for most people. On car forums I used to browse, there was large sections dedicated to photoshop, and I've used it to get ideas...

    Alright, so I'm looking to get things moving again after a 17 day trip to Europe and a week to get adjusted back to the time zone/school. First order of business is getting it road worthy. Planning to change the oil, check to make sure the other half of my dipstick isn't sitting in my engine...

    AceofSpades, yea I plan on fabbing one up for the flat seat, and you're right, that spoke arrangement is a unique one..could suck finding an 18" that works, tips on finding a rear? Thanks for the advice grizld1, I plan on going that exact route (13.5-14 shocks, 2-2, and 18", probably throw on...

    Thanks, I'm also kind of leaning that way, and hello from the suburbs. I realize, but the tracker style is calling me! Aesthetically, would I be safe to assume that with some 13+" shocks, 18" rear, tracker seat, new bars, etc. I could get close to the look? Or would a shock remount be...

    I'm really excited for this project and you guys are one of the main reasons why. I have been browsing the forum for about three years wanting to get an XS650, and yesterday I finally pulled the trigger on one! A 1982 Heritage Special. Did my research, waited until winter, found some...
