    1980 XS650 The Black

    Weekend update. I bought a trail tech Vapor. Hard to beat at $139. Installation was straight forward. It said my engine temps peaked at 325 degrees! Seems high. Also the tachometer is acting erratic. I know it will take some work to dial it in, but it's nice to at least have a speedo.

    1980 XS650 The Black

    Happy Labor Day ya'll! I went over one too many bumps this weekend. How can I have a scrambler that bottoms out coming into my driveway!? I need something to better match the R1 forks. Well, I happen to get 15% off of the Ohlins S36P so I pulled the trigger! Stay tuned for the rear shock...

    1980 XS650 The Black

    Hey thanks a lot! I had leaky carbs today and found out that the rubber portion of the needle under the float split in two. Gas was leaking everywhere. I fixed it and went for a ride just as the sun was setting. Here's a few pics. Loving the bike!

    1980 XS650 The Black

    My buddy doing a hot lap shaking it down. Now I need to mount the headlight/tail light. Love this bike. Feels so stable with R1 front end and 130 front tire. One finger braking thanks to the 6 piston mono block caliper.

    1980 XS650 The Black

    After three years of staring at the XS750 gas tank sitting on my fire place mantle, building this bike (in my mind) I finally found the right bike for the money to start the build. Though the title describes this as something all black, it will have color. I just don't know what yet, and as it...

    Let's See The XS's

    Hey thanks, I'm surprised at how much these machines just keep revving up making power up top. I keep this one at work to go on the lunch rides. I bought this xs750 gas tank a few years ago. It has just been sitting on my fire place. Haha It was pretty cool to throw it on the bike for the first...

    Marco Simoncelli

    Got to see him race at Laguna Seca this year! He was a lot of fun to watch. When he would get in a battle you knew it was going to be great. RIP SUPER SIC. Rossi said he was like a little brother to him. It was known that they were great friends in and out of the sport. I hope Rossi does not...

    don,t shoot the messenger......ducati,,

    Ya. I'll never forget when they made the announcement last year. Rossi was saying stoner was not riding the duc hard enough. Stoners said ya well see how you ride it next year. Rossi will sort ducati out. They best pay attention to a nine time world champ. Rossi put Yamaha on the map. I think...

    don,t shoot the messenger......ducati,,

    It's cool to see a phenomenal rider on equipment that is not on par with his skills. I can't wait to see how Rossi changes the bike. It sounds like they are going back to a metal frame. This weekend they swapped the front section of his bike for aluminum and started from pit row. It's the...
