Bump price drop to $2400. Lots of new parts and all of the old included, worth much more than asking.

Clean CA title for a 90% plus completed project. I did everything first class and retained all removed parts and a few spares, included in the sale. I have full documentation and lots of pics, spreadsheets, receipts, etc. I rode the bike the day I took it down and the engine was strong and with...

Bump. I am back in the game, reducing to $2900.

Reducing price to $3250.

I hate to throw you another curve, but... have you seen this? I consider it more of a cafe part but like the integrated brace and fender. http://motolanna.com/ourshop/prod_502447-Fender-Front-Bobbed-Stainless-w-Brace-SR500.html They are in Thailand but I have read here that they are pretty good...

I hate to make a suggestion, well after the fact... but. I am on my first build also and have watched enough episodes of Cafe Racer and Harley Build shows on TV. On one, and only one, build I saw a couple of old guys that took the engine and laid it on it's side on the ground (softly on...

I think you have a decision to make. There are a couple of schools of thought in fork brace design: The Gordon Scott, Hugh's double loop that attach to the fender mounts and the CNC piece like the TKat, Tarozzi and Omar's that attach to the grooves in the top of the lower fork that the dust...

I found the pic's I was thinking about. http://www.xs650.com/forum/showthread.php?t=25773&highlight=Uni&page=2 There are three so better to insert the thread with the narrative.

My opinion: I have the XS Performance oval air cleaners from Mike's on my 1980SG. If I were to do it again today I would use a Mikuni velocity stack with a Uni over it. I have seen pics on this forum, by smarter guys than me, and it looks like a very effective solution. There has been...

From NZ to NorCal... Back on 8-3 you posted some shots with a couple on your electrical system. I wrote on 8-4 that I would be watching and that the way you set up the tray made me think. So here is credit where it is due, I have attached a couple of shots of my electrical for my 1980SG...

The magazine just came out but I found it on their website. Barnett's owns an HD dealership in El Paso Texas and publishes a couple of magazines. http://www.barnettharley.com/barnettsmagazine/feature-bikes/racers/ode-to-xs.html#.UhqXL9Iqh8E That should help.

I just received my Summer 2013 edition and Mark Barnett wrote: Ode to XS - The publisher ponders a Yamaha Street Tracker. Nice article from a personal perspective. http://www.bikecraftmagazine.com/

I just went back and looked at some notes. I have a 1980 and for the swing arm and bolt that holds the swing arm to the frame I show 10.6 pounds, the metric conversion shows that equal to 4.8081 KG. Not an expensive scale but probably close, I would not commit to exact! Good luck.

I like the idea of a covered toggle switch. Looks race ready. I found this switch plate but I don't know how I would use it on my current build, but I like it. http://www.thehotrodcompany.com/shopnow/show_item.asp?product_id=2987F

I am a little concerned buying an electrical switch for under $7. Especially with the vibration our bikes are famous for. I found this switch for $35. I have not bought it yet so no practical experience to share...

I am pretty close to buying a battery for my 1980 Tracker build. From what I read in this forum the Shorai you mentioned or this Ballistic are both good choices. http://www.ebay.com/itm/271138211732?redirect=mobile

I have a luggage rack and locking box like MikesXS sells. I am also in Elk Grove so no shipping. Or did you mean the stock grab bar with taillight? I have that too. Send me a PM if you are interested.

I am about to hit the electrical system on my build and that tray is very clean... makes me think... I will be watching this thread. Thank you.
