Hello again one and all! After a few years away from the XS fray, I have decided that my next project will be another XS. The past few years I have been building race bikes and playing on the tracks and road circuits. Some of you may remember me from my UK Bobber build thread, UK Cafe racer...

Hi all, For my new build I'm planning to use a smaller rear rotor. I have come across a lot of useful info regarding what alternative rotors fit the front. I'm wondering if any one has come across anything for the rear. The same bolt pattern, just a smaller diameter rotor. Paul

Hi Guys, I don't know whether any one's seen this before but I stumbled across this site whilst researching a front hub. It seems to be very handy for selecting your model then choosing the exploded diagram, which gives part numbers to purchase parts...

Hi All, Well it's that time of year again to start building. After a year away from the XS fray, building a Harley, I'm drawn back to these bikes again. This year I'm going to be building my take on a modern Board Tracker. The style and position of old with modern component suspension...

Hi All, Just doing some research on an ignition system for this winter project which will run a 277 rephased engine. My normal Boyer ignition does not supply a pick up for the 277 rephase, so I am venturing into the Pamco arena :) My question is - Does anyone know if the Pamco e advance...

Hi Looking for an Omars kit or similar to do the rear wheel disc conversion. Happy to pay for postage worldwide Paul

Hi, Has anyone come across a smaller rear disc that bolts to the XS650 rear wheel. The reason being is I think the original is a tad too large diameter for the Cafe build. I believe the XS750 fronts fit the XS650 rear however, it is still 10" diameter. Regards Paul

Im looking for a disc conversion kit that you utilise the front hub for the rear and can fit disc braking to the rear wire wheel

Hi All, Its that time of year again, when my focus turns from riding to building. I am starting a new build thread to chart the progress of my Cafe Racer build. Many of you may know me from my "UK Bobber Build Thread"...

Hi, I am starting another build shortly and this one will be a Cafe Racer with a modern twist. So I am looking to go with USDs, spoked wheels and discs all round. Obviously, this leads to many a conundrum with the type of forks to use, wheels etc etc Has none had any experience with a...

Wanted an XS650 for a project bike. Anything considered anew here in the UK Preferably a spoked model. Condition unimportant

I thought I would start a seperate thread on this. I have rebuilt the engine and honed the bores lightly. the rings were in spec, so were reused and set with gaps at 120 degrees to each other. All seals and gaskets replaced. Just noticed on cold start up that I am getting a little blue...

Hi All, I am totally stuck on what I should go with for a colour scheme! So I thought I would throw it open for ideas! The build is featured here - http://www.xs650.com/forum/showthread.php?t=22603

All, Ordered a Led Sled flat top fender from Lowbrow last week and it arrived in the UK yesterday, perfectly packaged and a fantastic product too. This is the third purchase from Lowbrow for me and I have to say they are fantastic - great communication, helfpful and offering quality products...

Hi, Just stripped the carbs down as part of the build. Not bad inside apart from the usual muck. However, the diaphragms have, what appears to be very small areas of de- lamination. They don't appear holed but I don't think they are up to scratch, so: Can they be repaired? If not, where...

After a recommendation I ordered a new rear fender from this company. Paid with PayPal, but have no order confirmation or response to my emails. Another member on hear has heard nothing since July

Hi All, Finally took the plunge and bought an '83 Heritage to make my own bobber and I thought I would post up my progress for comments, inspriration and general input! Here it is the day I got it home - looks good on the surface and thats about it! On the way to being ebayed...

Hi all, Just thought I'd put a quick thread up on TC Bros. I'm in the UK and have ordered a hard tail, PMA, exhaust kit and a host of other products off them. They arrived today and I have to say the products and service from these guys is nothing short of fantastic! Despite being half...
