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

    I would like to be the winner of these pipes because i don't have a set of pipes for my bobber build that I'm working on right now. Perhaps I qualify because I rebuilt my first XS when I was 18, a 1971 XS1B, in a third floor apartment. Now I'm 20 and still pluggin away on the XS650's. Taylor

    The bearings are ATV bearings, I ordered them online. Search the demensions 35x17x10 or wheel bearing 6003 and you'll have loads of options. I spend $13 bucks with shipping.

    Wanted - 16" spoked wheel with front drum brake

    Yeah i can do that. The only thing I need for sure in the rim is that its 36 spokes...I haven't been able to find any front drums that aren't 36 spoke. Let me know what you find, that'd be great!

    solid rear wheels

    Hey guys, Do any of you have any experience with solid rear wheels? I really like the looks of this one but i have no idea what it is from.... Any clues? Thanks everyone, Chef

    71, spark, fuel, no go.

    If you have 200 to spend get a pamco and a new coil and it'll take care of all those problems for good! My 71 would never run consistently well with the points... but the pamco ignition did it up really nice!
