Yeah, I know about the xs pivot inner dia. needing to be bored out. You ever think about going direc and eliminating the linkage? Maybe using a different shock?

Cool. I'm already running a yz450 rear hub, so the axle diameter thing is no big deal. I suppose I could get the local machine shop to spin me up a pivot shaft, that shouldn't be too expensive. Do you know that if you go to a 90-98 YZ swinger the axle diameter is 20mm, same as XS? That...

Bump. I'd like to consider this as well.

I finally finished getting the hub I want mounted, now I need to order a rim. I'd like to go with a 19x2.5 or even 19x2.75, but I'm worried it may rub the inside of the swinger where it narrows. I obviously don't want to buy a rim and spokes, lace it up, and then find out it won't fit...

Nobody? Someone's gotta know, right? :(

I've been searching this most of the morning and so far I haven't come up with anything conclusive. I've heard that the DT model tanks fit with a little work, but I can't figure out what "a little work" consists of. Anyone know? I'm building a street tracker and I've swapped the front end...

Cool, thanks for the link. I think I had found that in an early search ths mornin. I would definetely only consider the 277. Is there a decent source for a suitable cam yet? $400 is a little pricey for the megacycle or webcam piece. Oh, also - the Pamco ignition works with the rephase, yes?

Took my first extended ride on my new to me 79 special. A few things are apparent - the clutch pushrod seal is most likely leaking (Left side case lower leaking pretty good and I'm at work so I can't investigate further) and there is also some weeping from the base gasket as well as the head...

Thanks inxs. I had found most of that doing some research. I Dont want too much longer of a swingarm as the front end I'm plannng to run is going to reduce trail a bit, so I dont want to go too much longer and take even more trail out. I've gotta get it on my bench and start taking some...

Hey guys quick question - is the Radian swingarm wider at the axle than the stock XS piece?

Heh. Don't worry.... It won't.

Oh, I'm gonna chop it up all right.... Just not into anything resembling a 'chopper'.

Just got back from picking up my first XS. Had probably over 30 bikes by now, but this is my first XS and I am super excited to start building it. 1979, 24K miles, original owner! How nuts is that? Picked it up for a crazy low price too. It's runs and rides great, but I'll...

Sounds good, I'll concentrate on the 79 then. The carb slide thing is slightly concerning, but not a huge deal. I was 50/50 on changing to a real carb and avoid dealing with vacuum carb tuning nonsense. I've been through it before on a couple race bikes and now I just swap 'em for VM's or...

Guys I've finally had a break from building and repairing my racebikes, so I've got some crust for an XS. I have a line on 2 local bikes: A 79 Special, and an 80 Special. The 79 is $300 cheaper, but about 150 miles farther away. The 79 has a non-functioning tach, but otherwise everything...

Prices on forks, swinger, and shocks from that cafe bike, if it's not spoken for and you're willing to part?

Ah... well, good news there! MX hubs, here I come! Guess it would have helped if I actually had the bike in my shop before I started planning mods... :D

Hey guys, new to this forum, but I've been reading it constantly since I decided to finally do an XS project. I'm searching for rear wheel options. I've decided for sure to do a 19/19 build, but I am going back and forth between the stock mags (front on the rear) or to lace up some wheels...
