When you write the bill of sale do you include special wording to the effect of "at your own risk"? I had my hardtail and neck rake professionally done - but I can't swear up and down it's perfect. Other stuff could break, too. Not just on my bike - others' too. How about just having them...

Hey guys, been lurking around on the site for about the past 5 months and I feel that it is finally time to start a build thread. I first got inspired to do a build on an XS when I found the combination of affordability, parts availability, and the cool factor! I actually got very lucky on...

Hello folks, I've been kind of a lurker here for a while and have silently been working on this 1979 xs650 I bought a while back for $500. It was half disassembled but the previous owner was a good neighbor of a close friend of mine and by friend told me the bike was only apart about a year and...

I'm purchasing a '74 xs650 tomorrow morning! Is it true that bike doesn't have a title? Its only registered by a bill of sale?
