    For Sale - Rear fender for sale

    I've got a 5 3/4" wide Throttle Addiction fender that's been modified to fit the radius of a mt90b-16 rear tire. It is new and has never been mounted.

    Timing advance question

    When I bought my 81 xs650 the guy told me it had a blown head gasket. I didn't argue and didn't even check it out that close because I knew with the parts on the bike it was worth what I was giving for it. So I started checking it out a bit. Pulled the plugs and kicked it over, hot spark. Ok...
