Appreciate all the feedback! If there are no requested changes, I will move forward with them as they are. My hope is to have something to show around the end of the year or early next so stay tuned.

Hey Guys! I'm debating doing a serious production run of parts identical to my original run and wanted to get some feedback first. To the guys that got one of the originals: How are they holding up? Any suggested changes? Would you buy again if you were in the market or have you found...

I've always ordered mine from Mike at 650central. Just give him a call and tell him what length you are looking for. Great to work with and turns things around pretty quick.

And replied. Pete you've got the last set. For everyone else, I don't currently have plans to make anymore unless I get a strong interest from the community. Thanks everyone for your support. Steve

I've got an existing thread over in the "Shops" section but wanted to drop a link here in case anyone doesn't make it over that way. http://www.xs650.com/threads/side-cover-latches.53298/#post-567705 Moral of the story is, the reviews on the after market latches I found weren't great so I...

Got it back to the shop and still couldn't find the problem. Then went to take the positive lead off the battery and it came off in my hand. Replaced the lead and the ground strap for good measure and we're back on the road. Inline fuses going in this weekend.

Thanks Jim. I installed one of those multi-color LED voltage monitors a bit ago and seconds before it died, it still said I was charging around 14 volts but I'll check if it shit the bed. I share your suspicion of the fuse block and will be looking at that again.

So I was on my way home from the shop last night and the bike (1980 Special II) was running great when all of a sudden she went dark and completely shut off on me. No dash lights, headlights, starter, parking lights, nothing. I checked the fuses and the connections to the fuse holders and...

So it took a bit more time than originally estimated but I got the parts back from the anodizer today and I'm pretty happy with how they turned out. The main body of the latch is a single piece of aluminum so there is no chance of these falling apart. If anyone is still interested, I'll have...

Seems like enough interest to me. Peanut's 3 page thread on "knobs" is pretty convincing. I'm working on making a collet setup for my lathe to crank these out so it will probably be a month or so before I can have finished parts. I'll keep you guys updated. 650Skull, I wonder If I could get...

I only had time to grab one picture this morning before leaving for work. Since this was a prototype set I haven't protected the aluminum yet but I've quoted for getting black or clear anodize and it's pretty reasonable. These were also made in 2 pieces with the shaft threaded into the knob but...

The latch on one of my airbox covers blew off a couple weeks ago and I decided to make my own since the the replacement plastic ones didn't seem to have very good reviews. I'd like to feel out if there is any interest from the community for buying sets of these. I'd be ballparking at $35/pair...

This is a looooong shot, but is the tank still up for sale? If so, could I get a couple current pictures of it?

Congrats Jeepert88 and thanks Travis for doing this giveaway again!

Just in time! Count me in.
