controls

:confused: Hey everyone, I have a 1983 XS650 Heritage Special. I changed out the bars on the bike, from Buckhorns to the Euro bars. I rerouted the throttle cable, as directed from another thread from the right side of the tank to the left side of the tank, and under the controls. There is...

Has anyone made a set of clipons from the lower clamps off the tree and some 7/8ths tubing? If so , I would like to see pics or find out if it will even work... Thanks:bike:

I want this guys gauges I was thinking you could just make new overlays and remove the needle and replace it in the upward position, but Im not sure if that would work because of gravity? Maybe someone with knowledge on how the gauges work will chime in, thanks!

I think I am leaking from this seal, I believe it is a clutch push rod seal. Look for verification. I leak oil, a fair amount too. I just road the bike 3 miles since I got the carbs and filters cleaned and new tires put on. I still need to change the oil but can't seem to find OEM oil...

I'm trying to find a SR500 kickstarter to clear rearsets on my cafe build, but they never seem to come up for sale. While searching for it I found the kickstarter for the RD400/RD250 which seams to have the right shape to clear the rearsets. Does any of you know if the splines will fit the XS650...

I just got my first bike. 83 xs650. The throttle sticks sometimes and i have to twist it back cause it wont spring back. Is that just the cable? Or the whole throttle? Also, if i turn the throttle forward, it will make the spring work the opposite way. So it would accelerate by twisting...

So I bought some throttle cables for my 75 xs and I put them on and they seem to be a little long as I have a little bit too much play in my throttle. I have adjusted as much as I can on the cable itself. I suppose I could thread out the part where the cable goes into the carb and put an...

Stupid electrical question time: I have a '79 XS standard that has a damaged brake/throttle side switchable control. It needs replacing which, in itself, is no problem. Mike's XS stocks a controller that fits '76-'78 XS and has a headlight on/off switch. I was going to install an on/off...

made these for 8$ they work good but how do they look to you?:shrug:

does anyone just have a toggle on their bike? I was thinkin about just using a toggle and a button somewhere for the electric start. Besides someone just hopping on my bike and taking off on it what are some other negatives? The only other option I'm aware of would be one of those keyed...

Anyone able to help a brother out? I have everything I need to add a decompressor to my '83 Heritage Spec. EXCEPT the cable. Would love to have dimensions, length and diameter and photos of ends, dim's of ends....anything necessary to have MotionPro fab 1 if I can't find 1 elsewhere (E-bay...

Hey guys, I've seen many pictures of different handlebar styles and I want to make a change from the stock handlebars that are on my 78 Special. I think I have ram horns? I'm not sure. I'll have to take a picture and post it. They are comfortable bars but I want something that is a little...

I'm looking for a tachometer anyone know any good sites other than Mikes xs for some cool tachs that will work on a 75 xs 650?

I know lots of people have forward controls, rear sets, and mid controls using various stock and aftermarket pegs. But does anyone rock floorboards on their machines? I would love to see some pictures.

The padded foamy type grips on my '78 Special are wore out, mashed, and splitting. Plus, I'm looking for something to reduce vibration for longer rides. What do you guys suggest I replace them with? Also, it appears that these suckers are on nice and tight. How do I get them off without...

Can anyone tell me if its possible to dismantle XS1 instruments to refurbish them? I know XS2's can be dismanteld carefully, but has anyone done it on XS1's....... Thanks T-O-S

i did a quick and dirty search but i didn't come across what i was looking for. is there a lever/perch combo that offers a longer pull on the clutch cable? the stock pull is way to short. this has to have been addressed and resolved all ready. any one have the info. thanks for your time...

I have 7/8 of an inch drag bars on my current build will 1 inch grips fit that? or would they slide off? actually the drag bars are bare, I need a throttle assembly can anyone point me in the right direction. thanks sj

Alright I know there is some smart people on this site and just curious if people think this would be that hard to do. Seen the twist brake and cable twist clutch controls and like the idea but out of my price range for this build (or few to come unless I win the lottery soon)...

I'm just if anyone has made their own hand controls? I was thinking something like this: Any ideas on how to go about making something like this? Teebs? Thanks All A22 :thumbsup:
