For sale, my 1981 Xs650. $3000 obo. Heavily modded, looks clean, runs well and a blast to ride. Would look great parked in front of your local watering hole, guaranteed to turn heads. Engine is freshly rebuilt with less than 1000 miles on it, and all new seals, gaskets, bearings, etc. I have...

Ive got a XVS 650 (2006) , What kind of measurements do you need? i can provide pics too.

Found in the New Orleans CL. not a bad deal, I think. https://neworleans.craigslist.org/mcy/6076513513.html Rolling hardtail frame, bars, un-rebuilt engine, some spare parts. $1300.

I dig it. Its certainly an eye-catcher. I think you should easily win 1st at a "custom" bike show.

The proven method for this is unipods and rejet as needed. (there is no hard rule on what jets will work, all bikes are different). You can certainly try to invent a new way, and it might work. It might even work better. But know that inventing a new procedure is going to be a ton of fiddling...

This is Suzie Q. She came into my life as a rusty, dented, barely running barn find, and 3 years of work have transformed her into this. Mods- Engine bored, ported, and polished, carbs jetted. Hoos racing TT style pipes. Forward controls are modified Suzuki intruder parts with cable operated...

My girl Suzie Q could use a charging upgrade!

looks good!

perhaps invent a folding brake pedal, to go along with the folding foot peg? It would be a PITA, but might work. Anyway, its a great start to a cool idea. Keep us updated.

I suppose I should clarify- I mean that some builders think that "alternate" clutch/shifter setups are cool. Personally i'm okay with the usual. Over the years there have been many setups and many variations of those setups. My dad owns two 1940's Harleys with aftermarket footshifters...

I voted gloss black. I think its the best looking of those options, though I also feel its almost boring. I mean, every car/bike/tractor comes with a gloss black frame(including mine). Of course I dont know what style you have envisioned for that ride, but for a true head-turner, paint the frame...

Cole, Welcome to the board. XS's are fun bikes, i'm glad youve gotten yourself a new toy. Is this your first bike? Do tell us what year and model you have, post some pictures, and use the search function, as many questions have been answered multiple times. Keep reading up and learning more, as...

Max, its done cause its cool. No practical reason. Back in the day there were multiple arrangements for brakes and shifters. Older harleys had a foot clutch and left hand shifter. Eventually someone stumbled across our modern setup, and I guess everyone agreed it was the best. heres a neat...

Hi guys. I'm having trouble charging. The charging system is all stock 1981. It was working, at least to some degree, until recently when I had the engine rebuilt. None of the wiring was messed with, aside from unplugging connectors. Ive read through gggGary's "expanded charging system...

i'm trying to convince myself that the money i've put in was worth it. :D :D :D
