Hey guys, Sorry if this has been posted somewhere before. I'm sure I'll get all different opinions on this but I'd like to hear everyone's thoughts. Maybe we could do a top ten list or something. What are the best upgrades for your XS? Obviously it would depend on the year, current...

Anyone ever use a brake splitter to control the rear brake with the front lever? Thanks again.

Just stripped the bike down, considering shipping it out to G&L for a complete build. Anyone have any experience with them? Thanks. -The parts are up for sale in the classified section.

Tons of stuff. Not sure what any of this is worth and not really looking to make much money, just don't want to throw it away. Make me an offer. Detroit area. Tank- small dent right side, very clean inside, gas cap with key, petcocks. Carbs- BS38's, just cleaned. Exhaust- MAC 2-2 headers &...

I guess I need to vent. After some serious deliberation, I decided last week to sell the ol' XS. It was a tough decision but had to be done. I wanted to get some good quality photos of it for the ad and took off in search of a couple good spots to photograph it. Ended up riding close to...

Looking for a side stand -with shipping to Detroit area... anyone?

Just a quick heads up: The rear rubber mount for the gas tank is there for a reason. Mine was missing and the vibration from a short ride was enough to crack it. "Common sense ain't so common." Here are a couple pics after a quick weld:

I've got new questions everyday... not sure if i should start a new thread every time? Let me know. Changed the oil last night and found little metal shavings stuck in the filter. That's what it's there for right? There weren't a ton, just more like metal lint. Not a big deal, right...

Not sure it's legal but I trimmed down my plate a little. They're just so wide! Any ideas for a cheap "custom" frame?

Probably a stupid question but... Usually kick start anyway but seems like the electric starter won't work unless it's already warmed up... and kills the battery quick! What gives?

Wondering what it would cost to have a new set of Mikuni round slide carbs and a pamco ignition installed. Might do the work myself, just curious. Thanks.

Didn't want to hijack your thread INXS. Sidestand kept getting stuck... bolted on a temporary solution but it's scraping the ground. Does this stand look original? -Cheers

Anyone running one of these with a single carb? Thoughts? -Thanks

Finally got the bike out again... been wrenching on it behind a shopping mall, just so I wouldn't piss off my neighbors and within minutes, 3 different people came over to complain. MAN, I need a new exhaust! Just downloaded an iPhone app to take video and the first time trying it, catches my...

Just wanted to say that I spend more time in my garage or at work than I do on the computer and this site functions just as well from my phone... Case in point- this post! Thanks again. Keep up the good work!

Just found out that I'm looking at 15+ weeks for a 2-2 mac exhaust with megaphone mufflers... Not to mention $300+. Think they're worth it? I'm having second thoughts.

I never got any feedback on these... Anyone have any info/comments? A knock-off? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CHROME-HARD-ASS-SPRING-SOLO-SEAT-HARLEY-CHOPPER-BOBBER_W0QQitemZ350319420071QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMotorcycles_Parts_Accessories?hash=item5190aa22a7#ht_518wt_771 The original...

Hello all... There are no stupid questions, right? The previous owner removed the rev limiter, added a high output coil and "updated" the ignition system to a single set of points. After a little help from some guys off craigslist, my wiring's a mess. I was considering installing the...

I might've bit off more than I can chew. Got a lot on my plate right now and I'm considering selling, although I might change my mind tomorrow... it's snowy here in detroit right now. ;) My question is, what if anything, should I do to prep it for sale. Just ordered a new exhaust and was...

This isn't my posting, just came across it on Craig's today and thought I'd forward it on... http://binghamton.craigslist.org/mcy/1528093402.html
