    Homemade and Unique Tools

    yeah O H and S i s my first priority, loose clothing and drinking beer whilst using it is mandatory !!! actually the belt is pretty slack and not spinning all that quick, you could probably grab the belt and stop it and the unfixed drill press would come crashing down.

    Homemade and Unique Tools

    Travis, nice tools, bit late for you i know but the spark plug TDC one is so easy to do, just grind off the uppermost crimped part of the steel section(where you have the weld) and the entire guts just drops out, 20 sec's on the grindng wheel

    Large Spine Frame XS650 / Egli / Rau / Cafe Racer

    the fabrication for the rear end couldnt have been simpler ,i made a template of the FZR donor bike mount points and postioned it so as to change the steering head angle to the required 24 deg, also using the fzr triple clamps to acheive the correct rake and trail. The bike handles just...

    Large Spine Frame XS650 / Egli / Rau / Cafe Racer

    Hi , It is an XS650B 1975 model that was butchered into a dirtbike and destined for scrap. It is built entirely from all stock components from lots of other bikes which makes for simple replacement if needed in the future. Some aftermarket items like mufflers and speedo. Major...

    '74 TX650 Build (monoshock)

    im no expert on XS650 carbs, but its never going to run well with unfiltered CV carbs, they need a plenium chamber, near impossible to tune a GPZ900r with pods for example
