are any of these small cracks or micro-fractures an issue for reliability if I use this cover? or should it not have any cracks? I engraved a shit ton on it and then cleaned it up a bit and found these...…..I need to take my old cover off to check my clutch anyway for it having trouble finding...

DISCLAIMER: Armed with a bottom of the barrel flux core welder and a dream, I scavenged Craigslist to find an XS650 bobber project for my first motorcycle build. This is my story.... Picked this baby up for $1500 cold hard american cash. PO had it running (barely) but it was in need of a ton of...

Tachometer off my 77xs650 D. some wear and tear, all bolts with, works fine. one of the wires will need a new male or female end I don't remember. It's how I found it when I got the bike. Shipping cost is on the buyer because I'll ship wherever and some places cost more than others. Asking 35.00

Hey guys, I am adding the final touches to my chopper build of a 1979 xs650SG and I have added a springer front end and ended up getting the 21" mini brake drum chopper wheel from lowbrow. I have it set up and trust me I know that this brake doesn't have great or little stopping power. however...

Just got an XS650 in a parts lot I acquired but the frame that it came in is trashed from someone previously trying to modify it. I also have a hardtail rear section that is good. I am looking for either a stock front loop I can weld my hardtail to or an already hardtailed frame someones not...

Alright guys, I hate to start a new thread asking for help so soon but hher I am. So it looks like I get the opportunity to know my bike a lot better than I thought much quicker than I thought. I think I'm in for a rebuild. Not sure. I'll post a video. There are metal shavings in my oil and on...

Question, For for my build, my frame (78' XS650) started off with disk rear for brakes. I now have a switched to drum (I have a drum swing arm.) I am now left with the ugly rear master cylinder mounts (see picture.) So my question to the guru's is; Are the Rear Brake Master Cylinder mounts...

hey all, Still havent been able to get spark or kick over my xs. bike worked great before so i dont think its timing but i just want to kick it over and get the engine going. Recently found some simple wiring and though I had it but no cigar. here is what i did.. Battery ground and power...

My custom made cover for my OEM gas cap, no harm done to the original. I can make custom ones for you to a point. Still don't have much for materials.

I'll provide most of the info and some pics but for all the details I ask that you call or email me. I am not trying to get top dollar for this I don't believe. The 21" front and 18" rear rim really makes this bike look amazing in it's lowered stance. 1980 XS 650 Chopper: CLEAN TITLE hardtail...

Hey guys I have currently read through all the threads regarding springers. I currently have a DNA 2" under narrow springer. I have bought 1" trailer bearings and stock xs650 racers. The only thing I know I need to do is to cut the stem nut down to match the TCbros kit (its almost half the...

Hey everyone! I'm thinking about changing my front end to a springer set up with a 21" spoked wheel with the mini break drum. Is there any suggestions on how to get the springer front end to fit the stock neck of a 1979/80 xs650SG model. Any suggestions would really help! Below is the front end...

Bought my first xs650 a few days ago and so far it's been a hateful bitch. It's been sitting for a few years and it doesn't want to wake up. The previous owner cafe-d it and i'm not feeling it at all. I'm going to attempt to get everything all happy happy and get the wheels spinning, collect...
