    XS infidelity

    Picked this up for relatively cheap. It is such a blast to ride! Had some trouble with the stock carb, but that all went away with a new VM36. Completely different bike with this carb. I had been looking for one for quite a bit, I think it complements the XS650 well.

    Wanted - Rear hoop

    Hello, to those of you who ditched the stock rear triangle, I am looking for a rear hoop, not sure of the length I need but possibly from the shock mounts back. Does not matter if fender mounts are cut off. Thanks

    Penetrol

    I like the look of bare metal, which is kind of a pain to maintain. I thought I'd share something I have been trying for about a year now and seems to work: penetrol.

    Idle creeping up to 1.5/2k RPM

    Hi, disclaimer: I am new to this, but mechanically inclined and have read the carb guide. My bike is a 78 SE, got it completely stock except a Boyer ignition and it still mostly is. The bike had been sitting for some years but started well enough, although it was evident the carbs needed a...

    Wanted - 6" flat custom rear fender

    Hi, I need a piece of fender, ideally about a 1/3 of this would be enough. I will likely paint it so finish does not matter as long as there's no dents. Any one have some scraps laying around? Thanks!
