Hey fellas quick question. To get the look i want for my cafe build ('75 xs) , i need to cut the rear finder loop off. I plan to cut it right before the rear shock gusset. So my question is, do i need to weld an additional bar across to reinforce the two shock mounts? Or could i just leave it...

Ok guys, let's get started. First - Un-screw the phillips head on the out side of the rocker top. After thats out of the way, now you have to punch out the guides for the alignment rods to access the rocker pivot slug. For this, i used an 8mm socket. It was the perfect size...

Where are they? Theres a whole bunch of info on here and very few videos to support the text. If we make videos of some of the things on here, it can give a visual aspect to the already helpful information. So in turn, less often asked questions. Plus if we make videos and...

Hey All! Ok heres the problem, i was taking a ride for the second time on the xs, and every time i brake the front caliper kinda sticks, and begun squealing like crazy (even when im off the brake) so i headed home to check it out (thinking its only gummed up and needs new pads and fluid). Turns...

hey guys, Ok heres the problem, i've been trying to get my XS to run smooth. To do so i corrected my timing, adjusted the valves, and checked for air leaks. After all that i started her and she ran for a bit then quickly died. So i cranked her up again, then after the engine turned...

Hi Guys!, So im looking for a Camshaft tentioner cap for my xs650b. If anyone has one that they want to get rid of, shoot my an email ( mattx2@rocketmail.com ). I attached a picture of what the cap looks like below...
