Has been a long time since my last post and alot has happened in the mean time! Including moving to Ontario Canada and picking this up from Toronto. My other 650 followed me from Australia (in the background!). This one has 750 kit and a bunch of other goodies. Want to respray the tank and...

Damn it, want the rear, but thinking shipping to Aus would make it pointless!

Thanks mate, off they come.

What a dick, and here is the pic.

Hey guys real quicky. Just cleaning up the frame and removing any unnecessary bits. Can someone tell me/confirm what these three tabs are for?? Sorry bout the angle, it the back bottom section. 1. Rear mud guard tab? 2. Maybe the spring for the centre stand? 3. I think its for that little...

Just because someone will ask, no disrespect intended at all, what process did you use to do the compression test??

hacked off all the pieces that I hope I wont be needing. Time to grind and sand it back.

Cheers Airwolfie! The actual look is pretty much exactly what I wanted and will be going back to. Just properly done! The bars are half moon beach cruiser bicycle handle bars. probably not rated as strong but hey, Im not exactly jumping the thing! lol.

Chuck up some pics mate.

It may seem a little over the top stripping it down to make it look the same but, I cut a few corners that i wasn't happy with, learnt a lot of lessons along the way and just wasn't completely happy with the final result (plus my man cave is complete lol). Ill get a rolling frame first, followed...

Hi all, well to keep a long story short, I bought a bike from the wreckers a few years back (81 special), did a half ass job getting it going and looking like what I wanted. Went and lived in Italy for a year, came back rode it for 6 months and now have stripped it down and am going again!. The...

Gold Coast QLD, Peter. Morning all.

Got a pic of your battery box? Someone on here might have an idea.

So im finally back in the country and attempting to get the XS running. Just a quick Q regarding bleeding the brakes. lll be following the guide littlebill did up in the tech section but since I have 2 discs and calipers is there something different I should do or just do it to each side...

Yeah prices here are borderline ridiculous. 30 yo stock bikes going for 5-6k. Check out bikesales.com.au for some examples. Gotta look real real hard for bargins! Even dismantled non runners go for 2k+ on ebay!

5Twins speaks the truth! Dont buy one and cut it in half the first day waiting for your TC bros hardtail to arrive! lol Buy a ridable bike and ride it for at least a few month's first, there will be plenty of things to keep you occupied during that time. Sort out the wheels, forks, get the...

Yep, not an xs. Maybe just stick to the transportation option? You can still rake the neck, shorter shocks, Single seat it if you really want a bobber look? Chuck up pics, we'll tell u what it is.

Im guessing no, thinking just a relocated rear shock mount. Maybe even one of those brat kits. This and the 21'' give the stretched illusion me thinks!

You sir are a legend!! Ill be working on a 3D hardtail with fully ajustable hardtail section. That way I can see what I like. Happy to share it with all. Will post up when im Done properly with the new measurements! Thanks again!!

Hey guys. Im currently living in Italy with my Fiance and will be heading home to Aus in March. I have an XS650 waiting for me which I have played with a bit and am keen for my next one. Unfortunately the bug has gotten to me a little early and Ive got not a great deal to do while the girl...
