I am going through some old boxes and listing items for sale on ebay. Most parts are NOS and still boxed or bagged so I can find out what they are. These have a few numbers missing so all I know is they are shims? Brake pad shims?

I spoke to a person a few years back that had a business rewinding bad XS650 rotors. Anyone know of him, have contact info?

I have a drag bike I built a while ago. Used it when the local track was open but they closed and it has sat for a few years in the garage. Currently has a fresh stock motor in it. Bored with 1st over Yamaha OEM pistons and rings. Ports cleaned, heavy clutch springs. Stock BS carbs. I used it...

Many of you have probably seen my ad before. I have the dragbike on ebay a while to help get the word out, not only to sell it there. My stuff is located in South Florida which has slowed down many who are interested in the lot. I am not looking to ship anything unless it is small and fits in a...

I went to see the Mancup races at Bradenton this year. Great show. Check out the vid i put together of the finals qualifiying.

After looking all over my local area for someone that had a spring tester I decided to man up and make my own. I was surprised hw many performance machine shops and big money pro engine builders didn't have one and after watching the old Rimacs bring in $400+ on ebay I built this. I know it...

I have 2 complete sets of XS Heritsge Special exhaust systems. 1 set is very nice, minmum rust, dents, scratches. Will clean up very nice. The other has its share of rust, denst and scratches. I am looking for $90 for the nice set and $50 for the not so nice. Even the head pipes should be...

I am building a motor and attempting to put a Shell #3 402 cam in it. I don't have any specs to help with degreeing it. Would anyone out there happen to know what these cams were supposed to be at?

Anyone have an idea on how much pressure needed to press off and on a cam gear? Will the small bench top 6 ton HF work? I guess it should since i read someone has heated one up and tapped the gear off and on with hammer pressure??? Anyone use and arbor press?

I had these buried in one of my boxes of items I picked up. The PO was racing the XS back in the day. I guess he was doing some port and polish and wanted to see how much and where. Interesting how much and little you have to work with. I have read a bit about this lately and there is lots of...

I have gotten to the point where I might sell all of my XS collection and move onto another project. It is a tough decision to make that will be settled by the all mighty dollar. This is a great chance for someone to jump in deep and get a hold of some XS items that are very hard to find. I will...

Has anyone taken thier bikes down a drag strip wth times to post? I am looking for comparisons on what the bikes are capable of. I ran mine on the 1/8 a few times with the stock motor. So far a 8.55@79mph is best. My current motor is 1st over bore but all else is stock. Jetted BS38 carbs, K&N...

Anyone find any hidden secrets about sources for getting 2.75 or 3 inch X 18" rear aluminum rims with 36 spokes to mount up to an XS drum hub? I have one on a DID 3" and one on a Sun 2.75. I am looking for other options besides Buchanans $215 - $260 bare rims. I found chrome steel, 40 spokes...

I finally got the old XS back to the track. This past sunday I put together an all motorcycle drag day at our local 1/8 mile track. I used gorilla marketing to spread the word. It worked. seems like everyone was very thirsty for a bike only event. Over 50 paid racers. We had 5 divisions, Pro...

I am looking to relace my rear wheel with a 4.5" - 5" wide rim, 17" or 18" diameter. I have the stock hub. Need to find an aluminum rim that will mate up with the hub without going to a custom shop and paying $300 for a new rim, plus spokes. I guess I will need new spokes anyway due to the extra...

I am looking to try some different gear ratios for 1/8 mile drags. I want to gear it down for better hole shot and use more gears. I see 13 - 14 - -15 - tooth motor sprockets for sale. I have a few wheel sprockets on the shelves too. Any rules on changing motor sprockets, minimum sizes...

Who used strippers to remove the factory clear coat from the motor casings? I have a few that still have some on it, looks like a clear greenish color. Sandng and scotchbrite worked in the past but I know there is an easier method. Previous owner sprayed the aluminum rims too. At first I thought...

Has anyone discovered the weak links on this motor the hard way? I am building up a vintage drag bike and am looking to see what the max RPM is on the stock motor before things let go, and what goes first second and third. I am guessing the crank spinning, weld it. Rods, valves smacking...
