120?! Wow. I've never started with anything under 400 grit, and that was on some rough parts.

I'll just leave this here.... http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/mcy/2865245625.html

I understand that the parts can be worth more than the entire bike, but he's asking almost $11,000 for the parts from 1 bike. This guy is fucking HIIIIIIIGH. Everyone should do the "question for seller" thing, and ask him what the hell he's smoking.

If you want to buy them because they are Made in USA, don't bother. They are made in China. Found out the hard way when I found a "Made in china" sticker stuck to my sock 1 day.

That's funny.... had a mexican guy tell me once that their old family cure was to put a long cone made of newspaper in the ear, and light the far end. As far as boot break in..... I buy redwings, and they are a little tough to break in, but with the work I do, I generally have them broken...

I'm not TOO far away, but busy as hell.... hit up XS400.com, as there are a bunch of Chicago burbs guys there.

Thanks, I was wondering what "totally fucking different without looking retarded" looked like. It's hard to rethink an xs650, but you, or your husband, or whoever is building these has done so. Edit: I'm sorry .... F'You. I thought of the fire extinguisher/gas tank first. sorry. I...

Sign me up! "enter me" sounds kinda weird.

Let me be the first to say "YOU SUCK". Nice find.

I don't know what he does. There are a couple pictures from his gym in which there's an "outlaw" working out, etc as the subject. By Outlaw I do mean the MC. Dude's either got huge fucking balls, or is just fucking stupid. Not sure which.

OK, I'm getting to the point where the garage will never be clean again. I simply have too many "things". I put my weed whacker in a small room in the garage the other day, and 20 minutes later when I walked back in realized it was full of fumes (direct vented gas cap, leaky carb). It seems like...

Guy I went to high school with (way back when) is a fucking ninja with an iphone. Posts stuff on facebook, nearly daily. Takes pics at walmart, on the train, in the gym, everywhere. I don't know how he's never had his phone fed to him.

Thanks for the replies guys. Not sure if I got the answer that I was looking for, but...... I guess I should have been more specific... I was looking to avoid the $25 LED bulbs, but understand that the $3 LED bulbs are probably shit. I'll just bite the bullet and but some mid range bulbs...

I want to replace all of the signal and brake bulbs on my bikes with LEDs. Mainly because the stock charging systems on the XS650, and XS400 are shit. Anyone have any experience with GOOD replacements? I'm looking for ones that are brighter than stock, not dimmer. I mean if the free harbor...

That's fuckin spiffy.

Post it on the xs400 site. Would be funny to show up with a kick pedal, and find out if it's seized.

Those look like they would work great. I have always been able to manage with a good set of needle nosed pliers. Grab the end, twist, and pull.

"I just want my name is nacho" <<< Now that's F'n funny. If it weren't 2 1/2 hours away I would jump on that. Offer him $100, keep what I need, and part out the rest.

Vintageconnection.com has all the connectors the right crimper, etc. with the right tools they aren't that bad, without they can suck. Vintage connection is cheaper, and ships fast too.

You'll need to use a catalyzed clear to protect it from fuel. When you start spraying catalyzed paints you step into a whole new world of respirator safety. There is NO respirator other than a fresh air system that will catch the isocyanates in catalyzed clear. I probably knocked 15 years off...
