    I plugged the hole in my alternator cover

    I have been looking for something to plug the open hole in my alternator cover since I am running pods and don't have the hose going in there to lube the chain. A guy I work with gave me a spent Russian shell casing to use. It worked pretty well -- just had to turn down a bit of the casing...

    Close Encounters of the Wild Kind !

    Living in rural West Tennessee ,I see a lot of wildlife on, or very close, to the road while riding my bike or driving my car. Some of the creatures I encounter on a daily basis are skunks, armadillos, opossums, turkeys and buzzards (I got WAY to close to a buzzard on my Katana back in the day...

    Electrical component attached to the top motor mount

    Hey guys, I'm having trouble figuring out exactly what this is. I am in the process of installing a Pamco to my '75 XS650B . I have the Pamco installed and the dual coil (part 17-6822 from Mike's) mounted on the frame. I am trying to figure out the electrical connections and I'm not sure...

    Hello All ! I just need some confirmation here. I have searched the forums and my Clymer manual is not specific to the timing marks on my 1975 650B. All the pics I have seen in the forum show an easily recognizable line on the rotor to mark top dead center. The rotor on my bike has what...

    What Top End Parts Would You Replace?

    Hey Guys ! I have a 1975 650B with 36,000 miles showing that I have owned for about a year now. While getting it ready to ride this spring, I have found some of the dreaded plastic bits in the sump. I don't want to have to worry about the cam chain tensioner all summer, so I am planning to...

    Bar Clamp Options

    I love the look of the flat "drag bars" on my '75 650B. However, being the middle-aged, height-challenged type, I am finding them to be a bit rough on my back. Are there any bar clamp "risers" out there that I can install in my stock triple clamps and dampers to raise my bars an inch or two...

    Converting '74 pistons to mount onto '72 rods

    Newbie here : I am rebuilding a '72 XS2 engine. I found some stock pistons on Mike's XS but they are available for 74 and up models only. The only difference I can see is the pin size . Looks to me like the '72 requires 22mm pins while the '74 pistons take 20mm pins. Would it be possible...

    Yamaha Vs Norton

    Hello All, First time post --- Although I am not new to motorcycling and have some experience with a mild restoration (1974 CB550), I have not taken on such a big project as I am considering. A close friend has come across a couple of barn finds. One is a mid-seventies XS 650 mostly...
