    Hey thanks Gary, yeah i'm going to redo brakes.... i just left them for now. It's riding season so i'm gonna "run what I brung" then finish the bike next year. I'm still setting the stock carbs. I had VM34's on it when it was attached to a sidecar... but the carbs got sold with another bike...

    The plate under the seat is open on right side.... I angled the mount to direct air towards the reg/rec. Thanks for that tho.... i will run it and keep an eye on how hot it gets. Moving it is no prob either. I think it has i nice flow of air towards one side of the reg. That seat is...

    Thought i'd post a couple pictures. I used the OEM battery box idea, cut the tabs off to keep it all rubber mounted, then simply fab'd a plate to hold all electric's under the seat. The horn is mounted under the plate. Worked out well, 750 kit, Hugh's Hand Built charging system & solid...

    This is my tracker build.... just finished...May, 2013... the front fender probably won't stay on the bike, mostly did it for getting insurance purpose but was supposed to look like a fender from vintage Ducati Scrambler look.

    Omar's ???

    I purchased and paid for items from Omar's that were NEVER shipped. Doesn't much matter ,in my opinion, how great of conversation pregrid may have had. If someone can't supply for whatever reason communication and/or a refund works for me. Keeping the money and not returning emails really...

    Omar tank

    jefft, thanks for yer reply. I'm glad to hear as i plan to use the tank on my street tracker build. The thing with Omar's that really got me was not so much the slowness, or a family loss (lost a close family member myself to Cancer recently) as i know how those things can mess folks around...

    Omar's ???

    I gave Robert tons of patience (over 6 months worth) he is very slow, seldom returned email and never returned my email (s) with regards to product missing in the shipment. I feel lucky that i received most of my order as once he was paid my order seemed to sit on a back burner. My experience...

    Omar's: anyone gotten through to Robert lately

    Robert was a real problem with my order and he never did ship it complete... never return calls....Phil was way better of a business man.

    Omar's = Robert?

    I had problems with Robert. I ordered over 1600 dollars worth of product, shipped the gas tank without the cap, it took over 6 months to get him to ship everything.... i paid extra for custom decals that were never shipped. I kindly emailed and phoned him to prompt getting things shipped...

    Anyone make a starter block off plate?

    The company MikesXS has one listed under "starter and related parts" it's called The "starter block off kit" Part #24-6520 $16.95 USD. I used one and it works GREAT ... remember tho you still need the seal so order a new one at the same time... leak free.

    adjust Cam Chain which direction?

    Thanks CDNTX I'm pretty sure the "Locating Pin hole" is not at 12 or 6 at TDC mark. I will use that to adjust can chain. Yes WEEKENDRIDER, new cam chain adjusted as per XS-John's thread. I also did the "fix" on advance weights. I think all is well... i just cant get it to retard enough to...

    adjust Cam Chain which direction?

    I have a 78 std XS650 that I rebuilt last winter. The motor was seized ugly so decided to go all the way, 750 kit, cam, carbs from MMM, had the heads done with SS valves and put in the overdrive 5th gear along with a pamco ignition. I love my ride but have to admit that i must have missed...
