Problem solved

Thanks alot 5twins, that the information I was looking for. Tom, I am looking mainly for the old style look on my bobber. Im thinking the Avon Safety Mileage MkII on the rear and speedmaster on the front.

Im going for that retro look, and would like avon tires. Is that possible to fit on those rims? They are in the mail so I cant measure them myself. Thanks

Shipping from the US is killer, so I'm looking for wheels with spokes and drum brake in Europe. Any sizes will do, but smaller back tire and bigger front (minimum 19") is preferred. Or if anyone has tips where to find them from junkyards I'll be grateful.

I'm looking for a 18" or 19" xs650 spoke rear wheel with drum brake and a 21" spoke harley wheel (narrow to fit avon speedmaster tire) with drum brake within the EU (for postage reasons). The wheels and brakes has to be in a good shape. //Wiz

Thanks for the tip, could you give me a link to that page? /Wiz

I'm gonna build a rear mudguard with a small pad, useful when trying to pick up that special lady with my flashy xs. Any tips what materials to use? I'm worried it might get deformed quick when someone sits on it and I'm gonna bolt it with some old steel rivets I found. If I get some tips...

I suspected that, I just wanted to get some feedback before I decided to throw that Honda wheel away. Thanks!

Do you guys use original xs rear wheels to make sure it aligns?

I'm trying to fit a Honda XL 500 rear wheel to my hardtail frame and the alignment between the rear wheel sprocket and the gear box sprocket is not perfect. How important is it for the alignment to be exact? The difference is only a few mm.

Thanks! Now I realize it was kind of a newbie question, but you have to start somewhere..

The starter motor weighs around 6 lbs and the gears are about 1 lbs. That equals a keg of beer and some burgers..

Heya folks! My xs number is 3L1-050102, I checked the forum and INXS PDF and my papers indicate that it is a xs650 Heritage, but the last digit (2) isn't in the PDF, its marked as a (1) Do you think it is from 81 or 82? I need a new gasket set and there seems to be a difference between models...

Thanks for this thread, got a bit pussled when I removed the electric starter. But why do I need the gear train cover gasket part from Mikes xs if I'm removing the starter?

Those are pretty neat, thanks!

Bought a springer kit from tcbros and a windowbar from lowbrow. I can't really find any good, pretty short, old style risers. What would you guys use? And any tips where to find it? THX! //Wizard
