Thanks, Aussie. I think first I'll try a repair on a set of BS34s I have and see if I can make them work. How did you like the VM34s? Cheers!

Hi, all, and happy holidays! I am looking for a pair of BS 38s for a 1977 XS 650 D. In fresh rebuild and/or ready-to-run condition. Anyone have anything they are willing to part with? Thanks very much! Justin

Thanks, Marty. And gotcha. I guess I was thinking that anyone that wants to see more detail will come take a look, because I was thinking folks aren't going to travel far for this bike. But I get your point, and appreciate your feedback. Cheers!

Hi there. So the time has come for me too, and I am selling this bike. It is a 1981. Carbs done by gggary. New paint. New magneto (I know, but I wanted to try it!). New seat. New simple wiring harness. New Brembo front brake conversion and M/C. Everything gone through. Starts easy, runs great...

Sending PM. Thanks!

Starting a "conversation". :)

Two sets successfully shot over the wall and received. Thanks, Gary!

Morning. "Started a conversation" with you on this stuff and others. Cheers!

I'll take it for $50 plus shipping in Canada. I'll send a PM. Cheers.

I'll send you a message. Thanks.

Thanks, Bob. Like I said, those guys put together a more detailed drawing for what they did. It's here. I think they would love to hear from anyone who built something to their plans.

Yeah, you nailed it! :thumbsup:

I've got the detailed pdf drawing from that original link I posted if anyone wants that. Justin

That table is nice, Bob. There is quite a bit of information "out there" on it, but it seems to come from a 1942 Fort Knox motorcycle mechanics handbook. I guess mostly used for Harley-Davidson 45" sidevalves. This site has some pretty good links and info on it, and if I can figure out how I...

That seems pretty responsible. I would think that with a reg/rec. designed not to overcharge lithium batteries you would be fine, but there are lot of folks on here more knowledgeable than me about those sorts of things. Thanks for posting the link, though - I didn't know about those folks.

I'm pretty sure that I remember that you have to have a battery to use the M-Unit.

Morning. I am a bit of a lurker here, and not much of a poster. I have a couple of XSs, but haven't posted anything on them, as neither of them are riders for a couple years now, and my progress on them has been so slow that to call it progress is being generous to me. But I do visit the forum...

Hey, folks. I am dealing with the same problem. Bottom stud on the right exhaust valve cover. I've looked through the threads and seen the various fixes: Gary's "meatball mechanic" homemade reducer stud, JB Weld, or high-temp/slow-set epoxy, Marty's form-a-thread, and Heli Coil. I don't think I...
