Here's the room I keep everything in down in the basement. I use to work in there but now I work on the bikes out in driveway for lack of space.

Here's my 83 xs. Finished her about three years ago and still running strong.

This is my 83 650 Tracker.Has fresh top end,round slide mikuni's, home made exhaust. Hope you like it.

Come on ,give me a brake!

When I bleed mine I put a hose over the bleeder and the other end in a bottle of brake fluid and then pump the lever.Works for me.

The leaves haven't started to change here yet,but there's some dead pine needles by the driveway. Here's my stable, 2000 Buell Cyclone, 83 XS Street Tracker, and 81 SR250 Cafe that I just finished for my wife.[She couldn't hold the 650 up with her short legs.]

Picked up a SR250 that I want to cafe for the wife, (she's a little to short for the 650). Had a BS 34 on it stock. Going to put a Mikuni VM 34 round slide on it,but I'm having trouble finding a throttle cable that will fit the stock throttle on the bars and fit in the slide of the carb. Any...

What is everyone using for clutch springs ? EBC,Ferodo ,Barnett? And wheres a good place to get them?

Here's a few pics of my 83 xs that I just finished.Hope to get all the bugs worked out and head to Daytona next week.

When I first got my bike I tore it down and cleaned grease and oil for weeks. Must have ruined about three pair of jeans. Good luck on your build!

Getting closer to riding this thing after 6 months of working on her. Put the exhaust together with a TC Brothers header kit and an old muffler off my CRF450 that was bent. It ain't real pretty, but I think with a little grinding and header paint it will look better.

Nope no gasket, I use ThreeBond Liquid Gasket 1194

Where the caliper bolts to the mount, the bushing in the caliper should slide back and forth. Could be stuck.

Thanks guys!

Putting bike back together after top end rebuild, it's a 83 Heritage Special with stock carbs. Has single vacuum petcock with a T fitting that feeds both carbs. T fitting seems to be leaking on both sides going into carbs. Need a new fitting? or some sealer?

Yes the guy on the flyer has only one arm, and he's fast. Should be a good show!

I have a 2000 Cyclone, bought it new . Been a great bike. Handles well in the twisties wheelies all the time though, don't know why. Had a few batteries and stators go bad but other than that still going strong after 11 years.:)

Here's a picture of my "redneck ring compressor"

retiredgentleman, I like that idea on putting the pistons in first then lowering them on the rods. I'm use to building old single cylinder two strokes where I only had one cylinder to worry about.

Doing a top end rebuild for the first time on my xs ,getting the rings compressed at the same time on both pistons as you put the cylinder on wasn't easy without a ring compressor. So I found some cable ties wide enough to cover the rings and snugged them up enough to compress the rings, but...
