OK, finally got my PWK carb kit from mikesxs. Problem is, being new to this stuff, I am not sure how to hook up all the extra fuel line tubes. There are three per carb that are attached on one end, but just hanging on the other. And as far as the main fuel line goes, I am guessing that gets...

Quick info: 1980 xs650, bought high output pamco from MikesXS. Why are there three brass bushings? I watched a three part YouTube video. Very helpful But he only shows one bushing. The site instructions are not very good. Where do the other two go? Trying to install tonight, btw. Thanks.

OK. I have a 1980 XS650 I am building. I am now at the point of purchasing a pamco unit from Mikesxs. The question is this. They are out of stock on the standard coil setup with all the parts. Do I wait, or is it worth it to purchase the kit with the 75kv coil for an extra $30 with the...

Where can I find cable kits to make custom cables? I installed a remote master cylinder and need to make a cable to operate it. Thanks.

I posted this elsewhere, but how about adding this forum to the tapatalk mobile app for easier viewing on our mobile devices.

I am installing a remote master cylinder for my front brakes. Part 08-4002 from MikesXS. It has a bell crank on it and a swivel reservoir. My issue is I am not sure where to hide it, so I am looking for some input and maybe a picture. I want it accessible, yet hidden. Thanks in advance...

I have some stuff for sale. These prices do not include shipping. That is extra. Here we go. 2 complete sets of air boxes - $15 each Alternator, with mill scale or something, on it- $10 Ignition coil with 2.8 ohms on it (spark plug wires/connectors on it, but plastic connector cut off on...

I am due for a new phone. Sticking with the Android platform. Got it narrowed to the samsung galaxy or the HTC one. Any suggestions?

Can a few of you builders post a picture or two of how you mounted your brake light switch to your rear brake. I have a pivot on mine and I have some ideas, but a picture may be just the thing I need to see how it has been done. Thanks.

Ok, here is my next setback. I wound up getting a new cam chain for my 1980 engine. I tied it to the old one to fish it through, but of course it came apart halfway through the fishing. So I fished it through and "believe" it is sitting on the gear in the case correctly. Then I installed the...

Can someone answer a question for me? Where is the starter cover located on a 1980 XS650? I was told it was on the side of the bike under where the tank sits, but all I can think of is the covers on the engine. The person also said it was teardrop shaped. This person is looking for one to...

What size is the nut that holds on the rotor on a 1980 xs650? I am about to install a PMA from highs hand built, but all of a sudden am missing the nut to hold in the magnet.

Look further down the page for the updated list. Picture to come as soon as I can get to them. Thanks! I have a bunch of stuff from a 1980, and some from a 1981. Seats, grab bar, taillight, air boxes, new air filters, sissy bar, working starter, rotor (am unsure of how good it is, but it...

I have a pair of brand new, never used (but no packaging) air filters from MikesXS for a 1980 XS650 (and other years). I would like $20 shipped for the pair.

I started this over on Chop Cult, but decided this would be just as good to have here since this site is specific, and the forums are excellent. The build was actually started last summer. Here is goes in a faster thread to catch up with the other site. Please give me any insight, critizism...

I am looking for an oil tube base fitting. The one off of my 1980 xs650 is missing most of the top threads going into the engine case. I made a spacer for it so I could catch the bottom threads, but am afraid that this will lift the oil lift tube too high. If you have one laying around that...

I have a 1980 xs650 and had to replace the cam chain tensioner and guide. That required me to break the cam chain. I ordered a master link from MikesXS, part number 01-8815, and it didn't fit. They sent me another one, the same one, and it did not fit. They said they did not carry the one...
