Ok, so today I started working on a mold for my leather seat I'm building from scratch. First I made this template from card board.

Dirty Dog, SagreDeDios, jdizon, and Shabba for the parts. Quality goods at a quality price from quality people on a quality site. You guys rock, this site rocks, XS650s rock......oh hell, I rock!:laugh::thumbsup::laugh:

Now I realize there are many factors involved but general idea what we think of this bike and its price.... 1975 with 3360 mi. 2nd owner says it needs a tune up but runs fairly well. He has original front wheel Says the guy he had look at it did compression test @ 130-135 Is asking...

Like the title says I'm looking for a rear 16" rim and front hub to lace together.any help would be appreciated!:bike:

So I'm about to attempt to make my triple trees and I just want to be sure that I have this right. Can anyone here verify this distance for me? I got 1.378"

Ok, I don't have a pick but I was putting my engine back together tonite and I came across this little black disk/ gasket type thing. It's about the thickness of a penny and a little over 1/4 in diameter. I remember putting it in a baggy with the retainer clips for the pistons but can't remember...

Can anyone tell why you shouldn't use a rear tire on the front of your bike. I'm looking for a wide ( 4" ) front tire with an aggressive tread and some that I have my eye on are classified as rear. Does this really matter?

Can I just replace my fuse box with 4 of these

Ok, I need someone to convince me wether or not to invest in a PMA. Do they work on all years ( my boyfriend is building me an 81 ) is it an easy install and are there other modifications he would have to make. He is busting his can to get this bike done before the end of the riding season and...

Just curious if anyone can tell me where to buy a good but not crazy expensive blade fuse panel.....

I'm at a point on my 81 xs where I need to consider what shocks and how to mount. Looking at a lot of the photos of brats I find it hard to belive they aren't rubbing either the seat pan or the fender. I'm so concerned about this I'm concidering stretching the swing arm about 3" in hopes of...

I'm looking for a good site to find tank bung and cap options. Really I'm mostly having a hard time finding weld in bungs. Specifically I'm looking for the recessed flush mount knurled cap.

First time ( newbie ) dirty sock chop-bob-brat-rat build off! All should be a first time builder bobber, brater, rater. Hardtail weld on kits, milk jug gas tanks, and or anything else is ok to use. So if you have recently started a build or just bought a bike and are looking to start your first...

The guy who is letting me use his garage to rebuild my first xs did a compression test for me and it came out 150 L / 148 R. Is this good? Could it be better?

I'm getting ready to start on my 81 XS, and I'm hearing different things about the legality of altered frames. Also if you buy a frame from say TC, do they come titled? I'm in PA, and was wondering if any of you have done this and how easy or difficult the process was?

Hey all, I'm new to the site and since I didn't see a welcome thread I started this one. My user name is actually my girlfriend name and that's because I just picked up my first XS650 to build her a sweet bobber with. I've made some posts already and look forward to being part of this site and...
