That's pretty cool, wish my Grandfather rode. He did drive some pretty cool shit though. Recruited by Busch in 1939 while living in Canada (he immigrated there from Scotland, near where the Clydesdale's originated) and given US citizenship to move to St. Louis made me, the first born US Citizen...

Made this little bag for carrying things like glasses, smokes, basically things you don't want flying out of your pocket or getting crushed that is very easy to get in or out of, even while driving.

I was just reading this thread and KNEW this is something I've really got to get done. Because I happened to have two pictures that perfectly demonstrate what 81-650chopper is referring to, thought I should throw em in here. I took these immediately after mounting my new JBM Intakes. The view...

A friend showed me his "new" helmet was the same old one, he used spray-on plasti-dip, flat black. Looked really good. Said he just sprayed right over the face sheild and trimmed w/an Exacto and peeled it right off. Likely doesnt have the life span of paint but.... Seems plasti-dip is becoming...

Darwin loves you! (I gotta get one of those bumper stickers!)

Well, My earlier comment that I would hate (ooops! I ment I would "be unfavorably inclined) to see the XS Politeness Enforcement Tactical Task Force Unit 6 deployed and I was pleased then and now to see that is the general concensous. No nanny's enforcing anti-hate. About that Hate; you know...

I just did the O-ring replacement on my butterfly/throttle shafts. Wish I could say how easy it went but I AM getting must faster at pulling these carbs off and on! What I came up with to support the shafts while staking the screws might be helpful to someone. Find a short Phillips bit...

I'm relatively new to this site. Wrapping up my first build and have learned a ton of stuff from here! I was surprised to see this title and thread, I've seen some stubbornness, some big-headedness, some frustration, "what am I dealing with, 12 year olds? READ THE DAMM CARB GUIDE!" But hey, the...

Humm, Looks like the WHOLE XS community "all out here" were just too breathless to respond!

Might as well throw this one in here as well! I used one of those short stubby cigarette lighter plug USB outlets for charging my iphone and just wired it into my leather bag that houses the wiring harness junctions that used to live in the stock headlight dome. I like the little bright blue...

Repurposed Harbor Freight Roller Stand to Light Stand. These stands are about $10 at HF. I never used mine for the purpose I bought it but found it made a great light stand for one of those Halogen lights. Removed the top bracket holding the roller, using existing hole mounted a clamp...

Hey 5Twins, can you tell me a little more about these power brake check valves? And how would I ask for them? No particular make/model? My PO talked me into enlarging the air breather port (drilled it out some) shortly after I bought the bike. Now I'm getting a lot of oily shit blowing out of it...

I see that this is an old thread but..recently finished my XS build, like to ride, Im in Long Beach

Like that!:thumbsup:

Leather work is a very rewarding hobby for those who appriciate well made shit. I enjoy making something now and then but I take too long to make money at it. Posted via Mobile

My shifter linkage (forward control) is a chrome square rod, its previous life was as a meat squewer in a rotisery oven, my chrome head light bracket was a hack saw frame, my battery tray was drawer slides, my leather bag under head light that holds wiring junctions gets it firmness frim being...
