I appreciate and accept the nomination, I've been distracted this past year by another one bike I picked up but still enjoy my xs650 and will try and post a couple updated pictures.

Threw these on yesterday, originally had them on my BMW but found factory bags for her. I think I'd like them a bit lower and farther forward, but that will entail building full racks for them. These are right on the factory luggage rack and fairly secure. Let me know your thoughts and I'll...

I have been loving mine as well, the one thing I'll suggest is to add thread locker to the through bolts that sandwich the plastic. Mine vibrated loose but luckily are right there in view so I didn't loose any pieces. I suggest these to anyone having trouble with cold hands.

I went through a similar battle last year, I ended up making 1 bracket for both, yours' is finished up much nicer.

We'll I changed the bars to a very similar set that would accept bar end mirrors and swapped my bar ends back on. Got to test out the hand guards today, 42F with a stiff breeze doing 45-50 and even hit some rain on the way home, hands stayed ok even with just my summer gloves.

Today I introduced my xs to my BMW and reorganized/made room in my garage for the two of them. Yesterday I sorted out my fuel lines and swapped bars and mirrors.

Same ones I have

My hands go numb much below 45 no matter what I have for gloves, so anything to try and help.

Amazon, they're really just to block the wind, but look the part.

Messing around with bars and such, trying to help with keeping my hands warmer, my elbows less sore and, my none stop search for mirrors that I like. The bars seem comfortable, the guards seem to work against the wind. The mirrors are just about useless. Might try to bend the stems down a...

So I got it back together, in the bike and running yesterday. Went for a quick rip tonight, first impression is good! Seems a lot smoother at the lower end, and a bit more grunt.

I rode mine, after reassembling just enough of it. First run since my cam re-timing, first impression is good.

96 R1100R, with around 30k on it. Asking price is $1200 needs the fuel system gone through. (Pump and injectors included, need to be installed)

April 1, the only date people will read something off the wall on the internet, and actually wonder if maybe it's not true.

Definitely an "E" type and the lock nut is there, I was expecting another nut on top of that. Is the washer a friction fit of sorts with the plunger shaft? If not how does it work?

I have to respectfully disagree, when I first re-phased my engine the cam chain was new. With the tensioner adjusted per the manual it was very noisy. Figuring the motor was going to have to come apart again anyway, I adjusted the tensioner until the plunger would move in and out 1-2mm while...

Some of you, ok a couple of you were following my cam timing thread. Now that I feel the timing is dialed in I went to reassemble everything and noticed my cam bearings are not feeling very good. Two of them spin smoothly and the other 2 feel like junk. So I ordered 4 new ones koyo 16005. While...

So sorry to hear, went through it a couple years ago with my golden retriever, it never gets easier.

I just found this little gem that explains why my cam timing has been such a PITA! I'm sure I read this some time around 2011 but it must not have clicked at the time.
