Thank you JP, I will check it out.

Hi folks, I am looking for advice on which ignition to run on my XS 650 stock 360 degree motor? I have an older (6 year old) brand new in the box Hugh’s PMA kit ready to install. I have tried reaching out to Hugh but he hasn't gotten back to me so I came here hoping for the right answer...

Jay R, After putting my build on hold for two years because my head was spinning from deciding what direction to go, you have made me realize that my first thought was correct. Your bike is very close to what I had in mind from the get go. She's a beauty!!!

pick me, i'm clean!!!

Yo Peanut, how depressing was that? Just the opposite of the forties when the U.K. was requesting firearms from U.S. citizens to aid in defense of your homeland from Germany and gladly handing them out to British citizens. With ammo. I keep waiting for some kind of legislation from Washington...

Yo Peanut, never feel sorry when talking about firearms. I'm afraid to ask, but what the hell does deactivate mean, destroy? It doesn't sound good. What exactly happened in 1997 anyway? Complete gun confiscation? I can't even imagine somebody grabbing my shit and chopping it up. I would be one...

Yo mang, I was wondering what happened to you. I guess you've been having too much fun to post. The bike look's great, I only hope I can do such work. I figured $1,000.00 would get me up and running and I was saving cash when I was approached with an offer I couldn't refuse. A 1942 Colt 1911 in...

Coolio, I'll check it out. Thanks.

Of course, Bratstyle, they really have some nice products and some fine looking bikes and I should have known you used a mystery front fender. It has too much style to be a rear fender. Thanks for the info.

Rd51, Your bike is looking great. I'm jealous, I haven't had a chance to even touch mine in over a month. Oh well. Hey I'm curious about who's master cylinder you are using. I like the clean look. Thanks mang. Captain Fun out.

Yo Sparky, I love your seat and rear fender set-up. It's nice to see somebody got it right (no offense, just my opinion). Can you tell me what you used for that is the basic look I am going for also. They are both clean and functional. Thanks, Captain Fun out.

Ah yes, very smart grasshopper. Sorry I can't help with start up procedure. I've never done a re-build before but I will soon enough. Good luck and keep those videos coming.

Rd51, how did the soldering go? You seemed a little worried. Looks good!

Rd51, thanks for the info. I am slowly putting a bike together which will be similar to yours only with a rear fender and motocross bars. My first step is ignition and i am not too savvy with electrics but I have friends who are. Wish me luck. Maybe I will post a build as I progress.

Rd51, love the videos. If you don't mind me asking, where did you find the loom and the switches? I was hoping to go switchless but I need blinkers in my state also. Oh well. Thanks, the bike looks great.

Rd51, I've been following your build and it looks like you're doing an excellent job. Very impressive. If I can add my two cents about the throttle cable:Binding is probably powder coat unless the tube slid right on, if it slid right on then your cable is probably bound up which would explain it...

Well folks, I clicked onto this thread to get some ideas for my project and now I'm totally confused as to which way to go. What I found along the way was a bunch of people who can only be described as a brotherhood. I'm so glad to be even a small part of this. As nice as the bikes are, the real...

Hi guy's, thanks for all the info. This site reminds me of the group of people I shoot with. All the info is intended to help, not hurt. I have fished all my life and everyone in the fish world is a liar. It seems that guns and motorcycles have alot in common. People trying to help other people...

I just bought my first bike in 32 years and it's an xs650 special in 1979 vintage. Basically a rolling basket case but I see tons of potential especially after viewing all the awesome builds you guy's have produced. After hooking up a new battery the only response I got was a green neutral...

Thanks Leo, I knew it was something simple. I'm not exactly computer savvy and I miss alot of cues. Time to get posting.
