Don't know if this is what you are after or not.

Here's a picture of my setup.

I'm running one of his early intakes with a Mikuni 36mm carb.

Check this guy out. I have a set of his drag pipes and they are fantastic.:thumbsup: http://www.xs650exhaust.com/

I was back and forth for quite a while about the AC/DC thing. Like I said I thought back to how many times I ever needed to weld aluminum and I really hard time time coming up with an example. That's me though, I realize every ones needs are different. I guess I'm just a steely kind of guy. :laugh:

I thought that also. Then I thought back, when was the last time I needed to weld aluminum? Could not think of a need. I guess if I really needed to weld aluminum I could get a spool gun for my MIG or use my Lincoln AC stick welder for the power supply.:thumbsup:

Here's one place that makes lines. http://www.cyclebrakes.com/html/custom_lines.html

Just an update on my carburetor conversion. It felt a little lean just off idle. If you applied throttle slowly sometimes it would die. Riding it the bike would hesitate a little on acceleration. Once you got through that little stumble it ran great. I figured it was in the pilot circuit so I...

Ya this is an HF start. Don't have to do the scratch like the cheaper ones. I have a feeling this will do me for a long time. Combine this with my Miller 210 MIG and my Lincoln 225 stick welder I should be able to do all the welding I need. :)

He told me that he was using this welder daily for the last 2 years and he said the only thing that has gone wrong with it was the on/off switch died. He said they had a new one to him in a couple of days. This unit is covered by a 5 year warranty and the people you deal with are in this...

Her is another place that has a similar offer. http://www.everlastgenerators.com/Power-I-Tig-200-348-pd.html

\ Good idea vismpact, I didn't think of that. This is on Ebay and is listed for $650.00 plus $25.00 shipping. He has an option for best offer. I made an offer of $600.00 and he accepted...

Thanks cros36. I was turned on to this one by Dave at Voodoo Vintage. He swears by it and at only $600.00 and $25.00 shipping it was hard not to jump on it. :)

Not if you are careful with your heat and not try to bend too sharp of a radius.

If you did the top tubes as a flattened area at the seat pan you could get more length fairly easy. You might be able to heat and bend the tubes that go into the axle plates to meet the flattened out area of the seat pan area. That way you would not have to cut anything loose and if you were...

Ya, I thought I was in hog heaven when I bought my MIG welder. I have a feeling I will be welding on a bunch of scrap metal for a while. :laugh:

Just pulled the trigger on a DC pulse TIG welder. Can't wait to get it :D. I've been wanting one for quite a while and finally found one to fit my budget and needs. Thanks to Dave over at Voodoo Vintage for his advice and listening to all my questions. :thumbsup:

On the throttle plate screws I carefully ground the back side of the screws off with a Dremel Tool. Mine were slightly peened on the back side, I guess they did that to lock them in place. I ordered new screws from Mike's. Replaced the throttle shaft seals when I was able to get the screws out...

If you have a small butane torch like you can get from Harbor Freight for $10.00 you can apply heat directly to the metal close to the screws. It's amazing what a little heat does for getting things apart. :thumbsup:
