    old XSers never die they just smell that way

    I'm back in Austin Texas after a decade in the Great NorthWet (Olympia WA). I saw an ad selling an xs650 project and it caused a return of my XS650 fever. After looking at modern bikes, searching for the "if I only had one motorcycle" replacement for my DR350 and FJ1200 with a critical eye to...

    Special Framed racers

    Does any one here roadrace an XS with a frame from a "Special" or know someone who does? I'm engaged in a conversation on another board with someone who claims that NO ONE roadraces a Special framed XS. If you have a picture on the podium with one that would be 2 Kul.

    frame harmonics

    I ordered some pods from MMM yesterday and as we chatted a bit, the topic of engine case failures on modified motors came up. He mentioned that Yamaha had messed with the harmonics of the frame to quell motor vibrations. That's the first I'd heard of that. Does any one know if that was just...

    p-hangers for pea-shooters

    Does any one know a vendor for 1.5" P-Hangers ? I find them for 1 3/4 and 2 inch but not 1 1/2. I've got brackets that run horizonally from the passenger peg bolt and another frame bolt back to the two bolt mounts on the cans for each side but I think that my Pea-Shooters need a bit more support.
