Sorry! Thought I had a spare, but can't seem to lay my hands on it. I'll keep looking, and will let you know if it shows up...

Thanks for the clarification!

If you're still waiting, I would narrow down your search to the VMs. The "PWK"s are not really, and they are very challenging to get set up and running well. Ask me how I know... ;-)

So this will not work on a 79 engine? Wrist pins are different diameters?

I have some spare pedals, so let me check for you...

Cheers! First thing I did was to rebuild the steering, brakes (upgraded the lines to stainless flex hose) and suspension, including lower, stiffer springs and gas shocks all 4 corners. It's on rails now :thumbsup: Also just finished a worked over head (9.25:1, bigger valves, springs, etc.), and...

And so close to Burlington! I'll have to keep this in mind :wink2: My other hobbies include guitars and cars. The current 4 wheeled obsession is this 1976 Triumph TR6. It started out a little rougher...

Thanks! Pipe was sold a while ago.

They were made by durgam - k. See post above for the link.

Thanks Dave! Plenty of clearance for the plate. The finish did come out nicely "antiquey" looking...

2Many, Osteoderm - Thanks! Coma - They worked out perfectly - see durgam k for more info http://www.xs650.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5160&highlight=mid+controls Jeff - the exhaust was a custom built unit, and he maintained clearance for the drain plug, while tucking it nicely underneath.

I am responsible for the North American operations of a German tool manufacturer, specializing in fastening tools (screwdrivers, ratchets, wrenches, etc.), that usually have some pretty neat features involved... Anyone ever heard of Wera?

I have been MIA here for a while, but not inactive :wink2: You might remember that my introduction to the XS was a botched Street Tracker, whose PO had never managed to get running. Before... screen shot pc I de-bugged it (ignition and carbs), then rode it for a while, and discovered it...

I think I have a set, but will get some pictures to send you later today. These are already in primer, so might save you some work...

PM sent on the front rim...

Congrats! Looking forward to the story...

I do have an OEM 19" spoke rim, but this is the rim only (no hub or spokes - used these to build a set of 18" aluminum wheels). It is in great shape! I also have a 19" OEM mag front wheel, just in case ;-) There is actually a show in Paris in June, that is usually pretty good at opening...

And another from Burlington! I'm also in the (hopefully) final stages of converting a former street tracker into a cafe style, so I have also collected a good number of "extra" parts as this has gone along. Any questions, or requirements as you get into it, just ask...

Welcome aboard! Obviously, it is a personal preference, and only you can make the final choice. As far as the online community goes, I don't think you will find a more knowledgeable group, willing to share, than you have available here. I'm in the middle of putting together a cafe version of the...
