I sold my 79 Standard a few years ago and really miss it. Putting some feelers out to see what's out there. Ideally looking for something in TX or southern US, not opposed to shipping. Looking for a runner, would consider projects. No bobbers, brats, cafes, etc. Looking for stock bike. Thanks!

Up for sale is my 1979 Yamaha XS650 Standard. Last year for this model and the best of the bunch. I sadly no longer have the time or passion for keeping a vintage motorcycle. For those that saw my earlier post, carbs have been completely disassembled and cleaned. New pics are at the bottom of...

Does anyone have a bearing spacer tube (not the top hat) for a spoked rear drum hub they can measure for me? I've got one on my workbench but can't remember if it's a front or rear spacer. Thanks!

Just listed on ebay. Link is here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/122253988777?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

Just got my PMA from Hugh's installed and thought I'd post my experience, mostly for future reference if anyone needs the help. My bike is a 79 with the mostly stock wiring harness (although a bit of a rats nest at this point, hopefully to be rewired in the future) with a Pamco ignition and...

Hello, just getting my ducks in row before I start on my PMA installation. Not sure exactly where to mount my new regulator, was thinking either on the plastic mudguard part of the rear fender, or maybe making a bracket and having it under the battery box where the old rectifier was. Does...

Hello- My XS is not getting love like it used to and I've got some expenses on the horizon, so am considering putting it up for sale. It's a 79 Standard dressed as a 650B right now. -Recently rebuilt motor with 706cc pistons, cam chain, valve seals. 38k on bike, under 2k since rebuild...

Let me know price + shipping, nothing too crusty or corroded

Looking for a rear hub, nothing too crusty.

Hello, working on a brembo swap and using the HHB slimline master cylinder. Been trying to track down a matching clutch lever to keep it looking tidy but haven't had any luck. Anyone find a match for this?

Long shot I know, but would really like a wheel set with polished hubs and rims with SS spokes. Not opposed to putting a set together myself, so would also be interested in a nice set of hubs too.

I'm doing the Pandemonium Brembo kit on my 79 Standard and was wondering what length and fittings everyone else has used for the brake line. Current bars are eurobars or something similar. I've been able to track down everything else and would like to get the brake line ordered too while I'm...

Sooo, due to some carelessness on my part, my seat lock flew off somewhere within a 40 mile radius of my home. Probably not going to find it. I already have a different tank lock, so would really really like to avoid using three keys for my bike. Really hoping that someone has a seat lock...

Mine has new pads, but is essentially useless. Seems like there is a lot of flex from the rod, also not sure if it's maybe the angle of the arm on the drum that's off.

I just got a nice tank and side covers from a '75 XS. The price was nice, so wasn't too concerned with the missing gas cap, figured mikes would have one or just swap over from my current one. But now it seems like no one carries a gas cap for 75-76. Mikes specifies only for 77 and up...

So, I recently had my XS rebuilt and will finally be going to pick it up next week. Problem is, the bike is a straight shot down the highway about 50 miles from me. I don't have a way to tow it back, so I'll be riding it home. I've read about the various break in methods, and neither of them...

Looking for hubs to build a new wheel set, 19 front disk, 18 rear drum for a 79 Standard. Nothing too crusty, would also be interested in built/polished wheelsets as well. Lemme know what you got, would be shipping to Texas.

Hello- My XS is due for a little bit of shop work. Base gasket is leaking as well as either the clutch pushrod and/or output shaft. Figure I'd get the cam chain and tensioner done while its apart too. Anyone have a shop in Austin or Central TX they'd recommend or good or bad experiences...

Hello- I'm in need of a sissy bar or maybe even a luggage rack for a standard. I had bought one a few months ago, went to install it this morning for a camping trip, and it doesn't fit. Looks like it's meant for a special. Let me know what you have and what you want for it.

Been chasing idle issues for a while and narrowed down to a worn out and sticky ATU. Tried new springs from Mikes and couldn't get the proper tension, plus the weights were pretty worn anyways. Figured I'd go with a Pamco E advance since I've already got the ignition and love it. Anyways, the...
