I'm in.

I just finished my rebuild of the engine in my XS. Fired it up, runs good, now to put it in gear. I put it into gear & it killed the engine. Now it is locked in gear. I tried rolling it forward & back but still can't get back to neutral, or anywhere else for that matter, just seems to be...

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone, I took a look at each and ordered the parts from who Blue suggested, easy transaction being as they are Canadian, so thanks! Retired, the reason I am looking to get the parts soon, as being this is my first bike build, and I am starting with a basket...

So after a lot of reading and help from guys on the board, I figure I am ready to order my parts I need to rebuilt my carbs. Being as I am from Canada, I am told I can't order from MikesXS, I need to use the Canadian Version, XS650 Direct. Ok, no problem, until they don't stock all the parts I...

Ahh, sold as an assembly, excellent! Thanks Blue. So I got carb kits, butterfly seals, choke assembly, diaphragms from JBM, anything else I should replace when I rebuild these?

Ahh crap, sounds like I am missing a lot more than I thought I was.

Thanks for the input guys. The slides do move freely, the one just does not return fully. I have a box of carb parts that came with the bike so I will have a look for the missing choke rod. As for the throttle shafts, they seem tight, I can't feel any movement at all, but I will order the...

I'll take it, pm me your PayPal addy. Thanks.

Looking to swap out my rear mag/disc set up for a rear drum/spoke wheel set up. I already have the spoke wheel on the way but I need everything to make it a rear drum. Let me know what you have, thanks.

I have a set on the way but if they dont work out I will let you know, thanks for the reply.

Looking for some megaphone pipes. A raw steel pair with no mufflers is what I am exactly looking for, but I will take some old used megaphones or what have you. If anyone knows where I could even buy a raw set & could let me know where you get them that would be great too. Thanks.

Hey everyone. New guy to the bike world, always wanted a bobber & picked up a basket case 77 last week. I have always been into cars & have built a 32 Ford & a 51 Merc, so figure I need to add a bike to the collection. Still collecting parts for my bike build before tear down starts but...
