Sheer genius coming up with this ignition to get it back on the crankshaft where it really needs to be triggered from anyhow.

This is an extremely cool thread, sheer genius really.

Yes, and I kind of just wanted to see what truly shitty handling felt like, so now I know. Total instability.

Maybe I said it wrong but I did the math and rode it with GSXR clamps and 19 inch front and it handles very badly with GSXR 20 mm offset clamps and stock yamaha is nearly 50 mm offset

If you go 19 Inch front,you will need new clamps to go with shorter forks, you will need a larger master cylinder to run the 4 piston caliper from the GSXR front end.I did the swap first and with GSXR clamps and a 19 inch wheel the trail is reduced and handles badly. 55 mm offset clamps should...

22 pilots 6 F 9 needle P6 or P6 needle jet 180 main These should get you running at least. Straight from carb guide. Find and download the VM guide in the tech section. Get a copy of Mikuni Tuning Manual.

My old GT 550 died once like it had a serious issue. I started taking shit off to find the reason and luckily before I got too far into troubleshooting, I discovered the kill switch in off position. Felt fairly dumb.

Nice work!Looks very nice.

I would be interested if you have one left.

These are all really good ideas to repair nasty brass floats.I tried Damon's tank sealer on some that were literally full of pinholes and while it sealed the holes it made the floats heavy.Perhaps brush it on instead of dipping floats in sealer like I did.

How did you "clean" those pages?

Nice work and something you wont see on the street constantly.Meaning same ol stream of almost identical motorbikes.

Same here.Not so much the work but the costs of the swap.Just for cartridge forks.

Yes,you will need offset triple clamps if you are using a 19 front wheel with the different forks.I built mine with 99 gsxr forks and the offset clamp set is required to get the trail closer to where it was before.I havent tried lowering the rear to match the front.Some say that will help...

It is looking pretty darn nice!

That is a high order of douchebaggery in that picture.Perhaps they have a learning disability.I usually do the research on mechanical things before I ever put a tool on the machine.

Nice scooter!

Looking very nice!

Where did you get the valve covers and ignition covers?

That is basically what I started with on the first one I built.A turd with a locked up motor and a massive amount of rusty and corroded metal everywhere else.Enjoying the second XS just as much.Have fun!
