We have our motor on a stand right now. We have adjusted the cam, adjusted the valves, checked for compression, rebuilt the carbs, installed new condensers, installed new plug wires, installed new plugs, changed the oil, and I think we are finally ready to test fire the engine. Nothing is hooked...

I got an e-mail from them last night, so I figured maybe they have chosen a winner. Who's the lucky dawg?

Hey folks. Found this place through a few web searches. I have recently started a build with my 15 year old son. We are building an old school bobber for his first bike. We picked up a 72 XS650 last weekend from a friend of mine in Baton Rouge. We stripped it to the frame the first two days...
