Hey Irish, I got the parts two weeks ago and have been happily learning to jockey shift. Thanks.

Hey TJ, any idea when I will get my clutch lever?

Cool A-Team lunchbox... Yes, the lower bearing race is a pita to remove. I took a 1/4" bite out of mine with a dremel wheel, then knocked it around with a punch. Not alot of finesse, but it worked.

I like the unit produced by G&L Choppers in Colorado. Well made and not too pricey.

XL The voices tell me I need this T-shirt!

Brilamb2, this probably won't help you, just add to your frustration... I had a bad TCI box. As soon as I located a replacement from E-Bay, it fired right up and has been running great. Is your wiring harness stock? I made my own harness using a simplified diagram I found here, and it's...

I recieved this reply to my e-mail: Hey don't shoot the messenger lol! and I agree with you 100% I just post what I am paid to post, I did not agree with speed or flames. But the year of the bike is exactly dead on. and I would still recommend it for sale to someone that loves bikes. Owner will...

Lowbrow customs has a cool XS650 engine patch that I bought and sewed onto my vest, right above a patch that says "Hardtail". http://www.lowbrowcustoms.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=1162 They have some other cool patches as well...

Hi Bob, I have a really nice set of BS34's w/ all new mix screws and jets. I rebuilt and rejetted them for my bobber and then lucked into a set of 38's, which I prefer. Uni foam air filters and carb holders included, how about $125 plus shipping in a flat rate box?

I just had to e-mail him and point out several items, then included a picture of my XS650 bobber. He might get mad, but as a previous poster pointed out, this is what happens when someone smokes meth!

Got my shirt! Looks great, fits great. Many thanks, Travis, job well done.

I checked timing w/ a light, dead on at idle. I'm getting gas, have checked levels w/ clear tube at drain cocks. It starts easily, idles fine. Petcock is brand new Harley item. I guess next step is to build manometer and check sync.

Yes, 13.65 v. I talked w/ a local mechanic, he says my timing sounds off. Is it possible to use a degree wheel to check if the cam is timed correctly?

Well, I got the new pilot jets today, from Jet R Us. Recleaned the carbs, special attention to the three little holes behind the throttle plate, everything is clear. The mix screws have the washer and oring properly installed at three turns out. I set the plastic floats at 21mm from the gasket...

Just spent the last hour rereading the carb guide, i had my mixture screws out only 2 turns, increased it to 3 turns. gggary, I did do the vacuum leak test with carb cleaner, no change so no intake leaks. I pulled the carbs again and will do a more thorough clean and spray out, special...

Ok, got back from my weekend of fun and went to work in the shop. Pulled the carbs, changed the pilots back to the stock 42.5's. Reinstalled the carbs with high hopes and it made no difference. It will start and run at idle, but runs rough if I open the throttle at all and does not increase the...

Littlebill, you are so right. I started wearing bifocals a couple yrs ago and didn't look close enough. My pilots are way too small. I'll put the stock 42.5's back in and go from there. Thank you, my friend....

I finished the wiring on my project, gassed it up and it fired right up but it won't run higher than an idle. It's a 1980 XS650 w/ BS34's, just gone through. I put one size higher pilots and mains, 25 and 135 respectively. I have Uni foam filters, lightly oiled and a MAC 2-into-1. Any body got...

$300 is low enough, but understand the hassle involved with inspections to get new title, is the motor soft seized or really screwed, are you skilled enough and patient enough to deal with it all... Just my 2 cents, if it trips your trigger, go for it!!!
