    72 XS2 rear 18" wheel on a hardtail question?

    Flash, Don't know how much further you've gotten on your project, but to answer one of your questions - yes you can just make a spacer. I've done just that on my project ride and it's working fine. I'm still finalizing the front end details, but I've ridden the jalopy quite a bit and it's safe.

    For Sale - BARN FIND FJ1200 and FZ750

    That first picture hurts my heart... an FJ just like that was my first street bike. It almost killed me on the autobahn in Germany, but what a bike. Very tempted, but I've got 2 XS's to get on pavement first.

    You're both daft...griz and especially 650skull! Griz, lets first review your post and finish this, then agree to let the OP have a fair review of who does what and offers what without your unwarranted slant: First - Do you in fact have personal knowledge of where those filter elements are...

    Has anyone used Cognito moto

    But you are all too willing to infer that there is something wrong with Cognito and suggest that they are a cut rate vendor, rather that just suggest the highlights of others. Bad form. What's more laughable is your taking exception to possibly offshore sourced components.... FOR A YAMAHA!!!

    Has anyone used Cognito moto

    Seems to me Cognito qualifies as one of those small specialty shops, right? Also from experience Devin answered the phone when I called about an issue with the steering neck I ordered, offered knowledgeable advice on another part to work with my hybrid project - and took care of my return with...

    UK Board Tracker Build Thread

    Kind of a gunmetal on the frame and tank, chrome the rear fender...pretty much as it looks now but with a paint coating to stop rust. I think that would draw attention to the craftsmanship of the machine. I went to the hand-built motorcycle show again this year in Austin, TX and again was drawn...

    The 2016, 2018, 2019 & 2022 Handbuilt Motorcycle show in Austin, TX

    Lot of bikes again this time... Saw this parked out front And then this one inside amongst the others... different for sure And a couple of ratty choppers were in a pick up in the side dirt lot, one being a xs650 - but I didn't get a pick. All in all a very good XS showing!

    For Sale - 6-Piece Finned Valve/Points Covers

    Be a lot more cost effective to have those investment cast... a rubber mold for the wax patterns is cheap (<$750) and then the castings get cheap fast... Machining though, I wouldn't make them out of alu for less than $75 each unless you were talking about 25 pair or more.
