I ended up investigating myself to be sure; the rear ended up being tubeless; and the front has the tube. I loosened the nut and pushed the stem into the rim a bit; and the front didn't leak (because all the air is in the tube) while the rear hisses momentarily. So seems its hard to tell which...

Gotcha, thanks alot! On an unrelated note, is there anywhere you could point me in terms of a starter delete? I'm going to be running kick only, and as far as I know I wouldnt need the starter. The extra weight isn't appealing, is there a way to get rid of it?

What gives it away? Tube'd tired have the double nuts? Or something else?

Hey there guys, a while back I got my tired mounted onto my rims; and the shop couldn't get the bead seated due to bad packaging of one of the tires. After learning its not a good idea to run a tube inside a tubeless tire; I want to take out the tube since the tire should be easy enough to seat...

Does it differ by model? That's how mine came out :confused::confused::confused::banghead:

Gotcha; thank-you so much Grinder.

So just these? I've been trying to figure out how it's all assembled and im totally lost; but if this is all I need to get the bearings in I can figure out the seals and other things after. Also, are the spacers supposed to have anything in those recessed parts; like a seal or something?

Hey there, I'm sure this has been beaten like a dead horse; but a quick search has not revealed the info that I need by tonight before I take my wheels to get new tires and bearings assembled. I have new tires and new bearings/seals; but I forget what exactly I need in terms of spacers in...

I still want the kick start only with no battery; I just wasn't aware that I had to change all of the ignition system. Oh well, I'll just save my pennies. Thanks for the information guys.

So I need so spend ANOTHER 100$, and according to his website, also get these parts? Points advance rod #14-0650 Breaker plate screws #14-0655 Advance locating pin #14-0653 Brass bushings #05-0032 (3) Auto Advancer Part #14-0652 Never ending list of things to buy... who new...

I wasn't aware I had to change it! Do you have any recommendations?

Hey there everyone. I'm looking for some information about what is really nesecarry electrical wise for my bike. I don't know exactly what is what so I'm having a little bit of trouble. The bike is an 83 special. Kick start only, PMA swap w/ capacitor. Only headlight and tailight and horn. I'm...

I don't unfortunately, sorry! Realized that I need to remove all my bearings and seals before I go get my rims powder coated... can't figure it out and the sticky is no help, apparently my rear wheel doesn't have that top-hat part and it's smooth all the way through. Pushing the spacer to the...

Sorry for the lack of updates folks! Been saving and booking a two month trip to Thailand/vietnam; so I havent had much money to play with. But I just ordered my replica coker tires, and after my rims are all powdercoated/assembled I'll figure out my rear fender and seat!

Front end will be stock 19" mag wheel fenderless.

Awesome thanks! 5.00 isn't as wide as it sounds when you pull it out on a tape hah!

Hey everyone, been a while. Currently about to order my tires; going to go with Coker Firestone replicas. Having a TC Bros hardtail, 19" mag and 16" mag.. these two will fit correct? I get confused with tires so I just want to double check. Front: http://www.jpcycles.com/product/212-003 Rear...

Alright, today I got my tank sandblasted revealing some dents + filler that will need to be dealt with; but no biggy. Also got my front tire off, and did a mock-up... LOVE the look. The tank is sitting a little bit off, but it still looks alright. I'll need to get my seat sorted out as soon...

Doesn't seem to be showing any. There is an 18" front mag wheel with disk, correct? EDIT: after some more digging it seems all xs650's stock were 19's? I might just have to settle with my stock wheels for now if 18's will require parts from other bikes etc.

Hey guys; just thought i'd quickly update you. I've decided for now to stick with mags in hopes of finishing this/making it rideable by next summer. I may still go for 16" spokes later on but it seems beneficial to get it rideable then worry about less important things! On that note, does...
