    I know this has been talked about before, but wanted to show something I've discovered while chasing the bunny. I bought this bike from a guy that said the Carburetors needed to be cleaned. So, I decided I would just go through the bike like I always do. I did clean the Carbs and noted that...

    1977 XS Top End Project Mikes XS 650 replacement

    So, I decided to go ahead and replace the whole top-end. I don't really know anyone that I trust enough to bore or hone the heads, so I bought the whole replacement kit from Mikes. We took the engine out 3/28/2012 and had fun doing it. Now I am on to figuring out how to get the head off. I...
