I believe it is a 2 under, there is more good info on the tc bros page that I linked.

I second "78polttila", love to see the good old standards!

Hey Guys! I have for sale a never been run 21" 60 spoke chrome front rim and Avon Venom-X 80/90-21 tire combo. They came with the springer that I also have listed for sale and are in new but not prefect condition. There are some little rust spots showing up on the spokes an hub but it is...

I appreciate all of the input, although it does not help much with the sale. The price has been lowered to $400, any takers? In addition I have a 21" front rim and tire that I will be posting shortly...

Huh, I could not seem to find any for the XS650 when I looked for less than $600. I was under the impression that the stem had been modified for this, is that not the case? Is it just the bearings that are changed to fit the XS?

Hey All, Earlier this year I picked up this springer with the intentions of using it for a later build but plans have changed. It is the springer from the TC Bros kit found here. It has not been run, but has been sitting in a damp garage for too long. I bought it as it is now, with minor...

Yea it looks like it is pretty close to those. I will have to take a look at one of my earlier engines and see if there is actually a difference. Thanks for the links! Thank you both! I was not originally going to paint it as I prefer the look of metal, but this paint looks so much like...

Yea, it looked a bit funny to me as well but I could not find any info on how it should be. Do you have any reference pictures?

Yes, overall stance will be pretty stock, and the only frame mods are just removal of tabs and other unused things. Tank and other body work will be custom hand fabbed :thumbsup:

After working keeping me away from home and this project for far to long, and other distractions when I am home, I am finally back to getting some work done! Swing arm is in the frame and the engine mounts are ready to go. Also finally got the engine just about done, hopefully these...

Thanks! The engine is all paint, although it is an engine enamel that I baked on so it got very smooth.

Earlier on Saturday is best for me. Or Friday night would work too anytime after 6

Shit man, I know and it is killing me! I am still swamped with work, although I am slowly making progress. I had thought this next month would be it, but now I am actually headed to France for six weeks right after The One Show. So... when is everyone wanting to go to the show? We should...

I am definitely going to the show, and probably will ride unless it is raining and the gf wants to come. Going to be on the old vstrom but at least it is two wheels!

Thanks, me too! All of the black is powder coat, it is what they call 20% gloss black. It basically looks like a satin finish and mine was also double coated so it is very thick. Thanks! I was actually thinking of going more aggressive with a set of Shinko 705s but decided to stick with...

Work on the bike has been painfully slow, but at least I have ordered just about all of the last bits and am able to do a little assembly here and there. Brake calipers and master cylinders are all ready to go once I get my lines. Also got my controls all mocked up on the bar, clean...

Order placed, this will be a good addition to the shop!

For me, it is all about the engine. Full ball and roller bearings throughout, air cooled, overhead cam, it is like a mechanics wet dream. In addition, there is a very large and friendly group of people that support and maintain them. Lots of parts are available, in fact it is almost to the...

Yes, they should be. The one that is covered when the case halves are mated needs to be checked and coated with sealant when they are mated. The engine mount bolt that is in the bottom is a new one... might want to pull that out!

At first I was not a fan of the front rim, but now I see how it flows with the rest of the tubes in the bike and it is really growing on me! Looking forward to seeing how this turns out!
