    Sold / Found / Inactive - Brand new Pamco e-advance

    I bought this directly from Pete some time ago but never used it. Never connected, ready for your use. I'll snap a pic when I have a chance but odds are you know what it looks like. Was about $90 when they were still sold - $40 + shipping and it's yours. Not for a 277 rephase - this is for...

    Wanted - Exhaust flanges - OEM or aftermarket

    Working on my project bike and I'm in need of a pair of exhaust flanges. Somehow along the way I either misplaced the ones I had or maybe I just never had them. I expect stock flanges should do the trick, but I'd be open to a set of flat plates as well - I haven't managed to find a source to...

    Sold / Found / Inactive - Radian swingarm with all the bits for your XS650

    Bolts right up to the XS650. Stiffer swingarm and it looks killer to boot. $125 plus shipping from either Toronto Canada or Bluffton SC 29910 - whichever is cheaper. Stock axle is 17mm so you can put fresh wheel bearings on your XS (which has 20mm axle) or have the swingarm bored out to take...

    Wanted - XS handlebar bushings

    I'm in need of a set of handlebar bushings - actually only need the lower rubbers, as I have a set of uppers. But naturally would buy a complete set. I know I can get them from MikesXS but figured I'd check here first!

    Wanted - starter motor - in a bit of a hurry

    I'm giving up on my kick-only 750cc rephased lumpy cam motor. I need an electric starter. I'm getting old and my knees hurt. In Toronto Canada - ideally someone in the general vicinity has one collecting dust and wants to make a buck or two.

    Wanted - PMA kit

    Thought I'd post up just on the off chance someone has a PMA kit they're looking to offload, before I pull the trigger on one. My Shorai battery died on me. Might be a small parasitic drain, or I just got unlucky. Haven't run the bike since last fall, and the battery should have been...

    Mikuni TM34 - non pumper

    So - I have a pair of TM34's sitting here staring at me. I've been running their round VM cousins for a few years and like them. Have VM34's on my 750cc rephased XS engine, VM32's on my BMW R75. Thinking about trying the TM's on my XS, which hss a 750cc, Shell #1 cam grind, enlarged...

    For Sale - 7 Metal West ribbed aluminum duckbill fender

    SOLD - 7 Metal West ribbed aluminum duckbill fender Here is a perfect unused 7 Metal West fender. Measures 5 inches wide, and seems a perfect radius for my AVON Safety Mileage 18" tire (as seen in the pics). Duckbill, ribbed, aluminum. Very nice. But, turns out I'm not using it on my...

    How short is too short

    So - just how many inches can one remove from the front end of an XS650's 35mm forks? Talking about lowering them. I'm working with a Voodoo Vintage MK4 frame and I'm looking at potentially needing to remove 3-4 inches of height.

    Wanted - rear brake pivot shaft

    So here I am working away, ordered my rear brake pivot mount kit from Hugh's and realized, hey, I don't have the pivot shaft to go in this thing :) Need one - mailed to Canada. This thing - for a drum brake.

    Assembling top end of engine before sealing up the bottom

    Here's my situation. I'm waiting on 2 oil seals for my bottom end (crank and countershaft). Aside from that, I have everything I need to complete the engine build. Crank, endless cam chain, transmission are all in the case, just missing those two seals. I'm thinking about putting a...

    Crank oil seal - new style vs old?

    So I'm putting my engine together, and am putting the oil seals in. Some background - I built a 750 rephased motor last winter, and ordered the seal kit from MikesXS. Based on recommendations from members, I ordered all the seals OEM from Yamaha as it was suggested they would be better...

    Wanted - Stock Pamco ignition

    Working on putting another engine together and need an ignition for it. I have the advance etc. and am happy with my 277 Pamco on my other bike so figured I'd go with the standard Pamco for this one. Before I plunk down for one I figured I'd ask around in the off chance someone has one to...

    Wanted - Oil pump parts

    As is the case with probably most engines, the oil pump outer rotor on the one I'm rebuilding is broken (clutch cover came off an engine with a holed piston so who knows). I'd imagine a great number of these are snapped like mine in the thinner sections and I tend to think the engines run...

    Recommendations on replacement pistons?

    I just tore open my 2500 mile old engine, and it looks like I beat the thing to death breaking it in. Bad scoring on the pistons/cylinders. Might be recoverable, might not. Before I resign myself to going up another size and ordering another set of MikesXS pistons/rings (which these were -...

    Removing tach gear from oil pump

    I'm prepping the clutch cover for some media blasting and want to get the oil pump out to inspect etc. I've pulled the tach drive shaft out, and removed the 10mm nut on the worm gear, but for the life of me I can't remove it or the larger gear driving the oil pump. The pump itself seems...

    Wanted - Completely dead empty engine

    Just looking for some cracked decrepit empty engine cases / cylinders. Need to have an engine in the frame for mock-up purposes and would rather have some empty cases in there than muscle my dirty old engine into the frame. I'm tearing it down to clean it up but that's down the road a bit...

    Wanted - XS650 18" rear spoke wheel - hub and rim alone would be fine

    Need an 18" 36 hole rear rim and hub. Even just the hub would be fine, as I'd likely just buy a new alloy rim for it from MikesXS and some Buchanan stainless spokes. Would likely have it shipped to Chicago to a friend for powder coating.

    Wanted - Engine clutch cover

    Friend of mine cracked his engine cover - clutch side (must have been fractured as it cracked when snugged down to the engine). Looking for a replacement - any condition - shipping to PA.
