The writeup of rebuilding the engine from Mikesxs is great, but on all 4 pages, the last 7-to-10 photos are missing. Does anyone know where I can find them?

Working on a project bike, took it out for a spin today, rode it for probably 15 minutes, it rode perfectly. Stopped to get gas, started the bike fine and then rode it maybe 50 feet, and then it started sputtering and died (yes, petcock was on). Started it again, but then could only go 5 feet...

Scary moment on the road. Was leaving from a red light to the free way on ramp. Was just beginning to accelerate when all of a sudden the bike siezed up. Had no idea wtf was happening. Thankfully I had a strong grip and was able to keep the bike straight. I think I literally "grinded to a stop"...

Been helping my bud build a xs650. Pretty much from spare parts that he and I had, plus whatever we could find on craigslist. The beginning was rather smooth cruising, just assembling and what not. but the last 2 weeks have been a absolute struggle, carb issues, leaks, etc... Well today we...

Helping my buddy assembling his XS. Yesterday we mocked up everything except the wheels and handlebars. Got the wiring done and decided to fire it up to see if everything worked. Engine ran good for 5 minutes, then we called it a day. Today we slapped on the wheels and tightened some small...

Had a conversation with a buddy who is debating on doing a cross country ride. We got on to the topic of tracking because his lady is concerned with things like location and progress. I came up with the idea of lojack, the car tracking system. But were both wondering if their is something more...

Looking for the shotgun exhaust style that pandemonium makes. Anyone got one for sale?

Taking inventory of what I have, I came across my front and rear disc brakes. I don't remember doing this, at least not intentionally, but at some point when I was disassembling my bike I must of pressed the pedal/squeezed the lever. Both pads are squeezed/wedged together (front and back...

Just something that I thought of randomly. When I was taking apart my bike, I definitely worked on plenty of bolts/nuts that we're torqued. I remembered that I would have to look up each specific one whenever I reassembled my bike. I do have a manual, but is there a list out there that shows...

I shipped my frame in to be modded, but now I can't get a response back. Prior to me paying for it and shipping it out, I would correspond multiple times a day via email with David, usually I would get a reply back in a few hours, but always within 24 hours. Now, its been 2 weeks since I've...

Anyone got any coupons for pandemonium?

I'm in the beginning stages of my build and so naturally I've looked at a million pictures of xs650s. Its been inspirational to see stuff that I want to do for my bike; and then stuff that I don't want to do for my bike. I'd like to get a discussion going about understanding the flow of...

I'm really digging the curved drag pipes that gordon scott makes. Unfortunately, according to his thread, he is behind schedule and and recovering from health issues, which might put everything on hold. Anyone know any other place to get them? for reference here is the link and a pic of the...

I'm painting my gas tank. Rattlecan style, using Krylon X-metals. This is tough stuff to work with, just because it requires incredibly light coats per each spray. Today I finished prep+primer, then used a entire can. The top looks incredibly even, but the sides have 2-4 darker spots on each...

I have stripped my gas tank down, it will be ready to paint soon whenever the red kote dries. What I want to know is which products to buy in order to paint the tank. I already have a can of spraymax 2k gloss, perfect for the clear coat. But in terms of primer and other colors, what should I...

So I'm getting ready to paint the gas tank. Originally I was going to use duplicolor perfect match primer, then duplicolor perfect match XXXXX (whatever color I decided) then finish it off with spraymax 2k. I've been reading around, and I see alot of ppl recommend epoxy primer over said...

Right underneeth the front tank mount, there are 2 threaded holes that slightly jut out from the inner corners of the tank. In the bottom right hand corner, those look like they fit in there. What are they/what purpose do they have?

My tank will hopefully arrive soon and i've got some design ideas that I want to paint on it. I've already picked up some spraymax 2k for the clear coat. But in terms of the primer and other colors, what is a good brand that you recommend? I only need white, black, and candy red (or something...

Looking for a 530 o-ring chain for my hardtail project. Need atleast 130 links. Anyone got one for sale?

So i've read before that a trailer fender is a good and cheap options for rear fenders. I have a 1980 that i'm hardtailing, but obviously i'm keeping the rear wheel. I've been looking around now, but I can't seem to find anything. I've had a long day, and i'm sure thats why i'm not able to focus...
