    XS650 Craigslist postings depository

    I hate to do it but I have too many projects and not nearly enough time. http://maine.craigslist.org/mcy/3097990762.html Maine does not issue a title for bikes over 15 years old but there is a possibility of paying a local dealer for the transfer of ownership

    Giveaway: Exhaust from Pandemonium Custom Choppers! (ends 11pm CST January 1, 2012)

    I should win these pipes for two reasons, first Maine has enacted a strict noise ordnance on motorcycles so these pipes should help me in disturbing the peace. Second, I want all my harley riding friends to be jealous of my sweet sweet Yammy. :thumbsup:

    30 Tooth Rear Sprocket Evaluation

    Not to pull up a dead thread, but I'm about to pull the trigger on new chain and sprockets (since my front sprocket has a bit of wear I'm of the mind if you replace one you replace all) My question is this: should I just buy a stock length chain and cut it or is there a formula for figuring out...

    Riding Goggles?

    How about these http://bobster.com/ some are a little pricy but most are reasonable ... I have a pair of the ambush convertibles with prescription lenses (the lenses cost a lot more than the glasses themselves) but well worth the money in my book

    Another reason to simplify your wiring

    Its been rainy and wet here in the northeast these past couple of weeks so I haven't had much of a chance to ride.

    2in1 Harley Tach/Speedo, will work it work on an XS?

    Even though I have been turning wrenches on automobiles for over 20 years and tinkering on bikes and snowmobiles even longer, I have never wired in a tachometer :laugh: I have used test tach's that have clips and they just clip to the coil ... I assume wiring one permanently would be the same.
