Yes it is.

1980 Yamaha XS650 Located in Virginia Beach, VA Contact: email-handdrag78@yahoo.com phone-757-580-0490 Price=$5,500 obo mileage=3200 This is a bike I finished building last summer. It is documented completely. With only 3200 original miles this bike is built to last. Motor was...

It is money well spent. Make sure you clean the carb bodies good before installing it.

I bought this part because the mikesxs one leaking like crazy. This one is far superior and fits excellent with absolutely no leaks. I highly recommend anyone with bs34 carbs to purchase this. It is precision fit.

PM me your address and I will send you one. Its not the riding in the rain part lol. Its the ride after the rain, when your tires throw it all over the bike without adequate fenders.

They don't seal from water or the elements. The case splits apart in the middle and is held together by two end caps. I used one originally on my build and water intrusion occurred and killed my e-advancer. Drilling them can be a pain too due to the case separation is right in the center. A...

Why don't people use the engine as the main ground point. It would seriously eliminate trouble shooting the frame as the common ground point. ***those project boxes above are junk and don't seal properly*** a better option to an electronics project box would be a Hammond 1590p1

I just had this issue. Turns out I replaced everything in the carb just for basic maintenance but neglected to clean the body where the old O-ring for the carb seat was. I adjusted the floats so many times to keep it from leaking till I completely disassembled the carb and found a very small...

I need one asap. Do not want one of the mikesxs ones "they are cheap and have broken twice on me", only oem yamaha with hardware.

Not to revive a dead thead but same thing just happened with mine. It was torqued to specs as the instructions say. I thought everything was good. My bike started first kick with no issues. After warming up I did the usual with adjusting the ignition and carbs. About 6 minutes into it the nut...

I had no choice but to do my 5th gear overdrive because of my rear wheel selection. Im using a cbr250r rear wheel which uses a cushdrive and the smallest rear sprocket I could get was a 36. I had to opt for the 18 tooth front which is offset as well. Even with that done the ratio still wasn't...

This happened to me as well. Dealing with mikesxs can be a pain. I went off what their listing says about the years and which one you need to get. Turns out you should just mic it first to see which one you will need. I bought the 78-84 gear cause mine is a 1980, but it ended up taking the 73-77...

I've been really busy lately and haven't had time to update this at all. Since my last post I have rebuilt the motor, added 5th gear overdrive, new wiseco pistons, all new oem internal stuff, pamco, pma, hhb pipes, blah blah, powder coated the frame and wheels and did a quick assembly to make...

NICE SIMPLE AND CLEAN! :thumbsup:

Well fabrication has been completed and now all I have to do is get everything powder coated, upholstered, and painted. Now I'm in the process of pulling the motor apart to reseal it and for paint. Here is how it sits with the new Works Performance Street Tracker shocks.

I also got some time to fab up a rear caliper mount and got a used brembo 2 piston caliper off of ebay. Also made some wheel spacers to get everything centered properly with the new bracket. I haven't yet tested it out yet but I ordered and received a 10mm offset sprocket made by Gary Poh...

Just a small update on this build. I ended up getting a Joker Machine tail light cause I think it fits the build perfect. I ended up using a friends cnc plasma cutter to make the bracket to hold it and the license plate as one. I also used the cnc plasma to cut me a seat pan. Lastly was the...

that frame brace looks like it will interfere with the chain.

I dont understand why someone asks for the opinion of the site, and then gets pissed off for peoples opinions. I for one wouldn't be caught dead on your bike. To me its unsafe, plain and simple. Whats so wrong about saying that? Its an opinion to some people but its a fact that its unsafe in my...

79XS, we are only going to be doing just part of the TAT. Bikes are going to be shipped out to Oregon and we will fly there. We will be starting in Oregon and finishing in NM. We will then pick it up back in TN where will be picked up by friends. From what my friends tell me, is that its pretty...
