bobber

Hey there everyone. I just got in my TC bros hardtail to install on my 83' xs650. Now, I've got no welder, nor any experience so I'm seeking some advice from some of you folk! I'm currently emailing some welders that sounds like they have frame welding and motorcycle expeirence to get this...

hello, so i'm new to this forum and just bought my xs650 bobber. I am having issues with my headlight and tail light. my bike is kick start and keyless so my headlight switch is my ignition switch. When i turn my ignition switch on the lights will turn on and then cut off right away but the bike...

Hey all, Im from Utah, where we can only ride bikes for 4 months out of the year, but fortunately that gives us plenty of time for tinkering in the off season. This is one of two of my builds going right now. I also have an rd350 that I am working on just so I can say I have a ringading in...

Pamco Fried, again Last week I thought I had this project done. Was running amazing and I prob put about 20 town miles on it. It was perfect. But then when it was running down a main street it just stopped. No sputter, just died. Felt like someone just flipped the kill switch. Wouldnt start...

ok well I started with a $100.00 1980 xs650 which had not been started in near to 10 years, new plugs and starting fluid brought it back to life,ran well for setting outside for 10 years in a desert back yard. ive started stripping it down , ordered a TC bros hardtail,alien tank and a bunch of...

Has anyone swapped a Vstar 650 front end (tree's n forks) onto a XS650 and if so what modifications would it take to make this happen. Looking for any reccomendations. I like how it looks and want to try it but don't want to waste money on something that won't work. Thanks

I just put Harley controls on my XS650 Bobber and the stock clutch cable has the wrong end for the Harley controls. Anyone know of a clutch cable that fits the 650 to the Harley controls? just the clutch lever and is different

Hello, I bought a non running xs 650 last week after first one was stolen. Replaced coil, temporary re wire. Cleaned carbs, pilot was clogged completely. Now fires on second kick. Backback fires once throttle is revved and returned to idle position. On the venturi their are 4 holes/jets? Cluster...

Well I've been lurking on here posting a little but mostly researching. I've been turning wrenches on my own 80 xs650 bobber project and have been able to ride it a bit. While stuck in traffic on my bobber after the local July 4th fireworks I was stopped by a guy who said he knew someone...

Was supposed to go out on my first "real ride" with some friends today on my newly finished bike. Didn't make it obviously. First issue I've had was my advance sticking. I narrowed it down to that and not the throttle sticking or anything. Popped the advance cover off and could see the two...

Here is where I am so far,maybe a month away.Got to rebuild the carbs,front caliper,get a yz fr.master cyl.etc,etc!

go to classifieds sorry folks I put it in the wrong place.

Finally got my '83 XS hardtail buttoned up pretty much and took it on its maiden voyage tonight. I have not ridden it (or any XS) before so had nothing similar to compare it to. My old bike I had 6-7 years ago was a '95 Suzuki Intruder 800, so it was a bit different overall. I have to say...

This one is for me. Most of the bikes I've built I've had the thot of selling them in the back of my mind but this ones a keeper. Having said that the build will be slow for two reasons. I want it like I want it and I'm riding it every day... Here's how it sits now. Clock showed 52,xxx...

Hey Everyone, Thanks for checking this out. I picked this poor beast up from the scrap heap, it was literally going to be crushed :wtf: The story of this beasts resurrection started with a craigslist ad I posted looking for a XS650 in any condition running or not or basket case, basically...

I've got an '82 that I'm hardtailing. I just attempted to start a couple of days ago and found I had no spark with the culprit being an open coil on the pickup. I thought about putting something out there in the classifieds about needing a pickup coil, but I still have no idea if the TCI is...

Decided to put together a drop seat xs for my brother. This will be his first bike but he has a few ideas of what he wants. This is what were starting with

Can anyone please confirm/provide the following information for a P-Nut Tank? I know Lowbrow has some dimensions on their website, but I'm having trouble making sense of how/where exactly it fits with the numbers they provided. Length of the tunnel from the leading edge of tank to the...

Hi everyone! I have been cruising the forum for a while now and figured its time to post something. My buddy Ketis (Member name. Check out his build too) bought an xs650, and told me what he planned to do to it. I thought it sounded cool so I did some research and found an xs of my own on...

My first bike build is almost done, took her for final wiring Friday. I'm pleased with how it turned out and can't wait to get riding my first xs. I also uploaded a pic of my new score, a 73 xs650 that Igot and a old enduro frame and frontend for $100. I really like the xs and only have about...
