I've got mine running quite nicely now. I did have issues which I put down to dirt in the carbs. They looked clean so I'd never stripped them down apart from swapping out jets and setting the float heights. So anyway I got some Seafoam additive that the Yanks go crazy about and gave her a good...

Thank you to every one on this thread. I've fitted a set of mint CVK's off a GPZ500 that I got cheap off Ebay. I finally got every thing else I needed today and slapped it all together and guess what? She fired up first kick. Just needed the mixture screws turning out a bit and she ticked over...

Just to let you know. Allens quickly sent me 2 x jjj needles 2 x 38 pilot jets 2 x 140 main jets and 2 x needle clips for just short of £40. I'm happy with that just so long as it works haha. Thanks for the info

Oh good. With value of the GBP£ worth only a fist full of beads nowa days, I should save a few quid too. I'll let you all know how I got on

Cheers mate I'll give Allens a try tomorrow. On the JetsRus site it just says point blank they no longer ship internationally. I just don't get this NO international shipping business at all. What's the problem???? At least their site as all the info I need

Jets R us seem to be no longer shipping outside the States. I'm requiring a full set of jets and needles for my Keihin Kawasaki GPZ 500 conversion. Can anyone recommend another supplier please?

Your right of course your insurance wouldn't be instantly void. I should have said worst case scenario..

Thanks a lot guys. I've decided to go for a 400x19 speedmaster front tyre on the front and a 500x16 Safety mileage on the rear. As Grimly will well know we have a lot of corners here in the UK, and I'm building this bike to be usable and safe. On the subject of Darkside. My other bike is a Honda...

Ok so what do folk fit for that fat tyre brat look? The tyre I was thinking of is the one on the right on this link http://www.avon-tyres.co.uk/motorcycle/safety-mileage-mkii

The rears are called Safety Mileage and the fronts Speedmaster. They have a different tread and shape as far has I know. I should have pointed out I want the fat tyre look. I assumed that look was by fitting a reversed rear tyre on the front?

I have a 1978 XS650 Special. Question is will a AVON SM 400x19 or 350x19 rear tyre on the front look alright. With a 500x16 on the rear. I know the rear will be right, but will the front look in proportion. Cheers :thumbsup:

Thank you Guys. I'm looking forward to doing it. I have the over all plan in my head of the finished bike. I've had a quick look around the site and found some wiring diagrams which will come in useful.....

Hello every one. I'm Glenn from Holmfirth West Yorkshire England. A couple of months ago I bought a 1979 XS650 special US import. Not complete but the engine runs. The bits missing are what I'd chuck any way. As you've guessed it's destined to be a Custom Bobber type of thing:D I've joined to...
