    First XS650, yep I'm the new guy.

    Hey guys, just picked up an 81. Not sure what model, not sure what they made in 81. I am having my friend let me know what the model code is on the frame (it's in his garage right now) Anyway, picked it up for $180. Battery was nearly bone dry. Added water, charged for 20 minutes off my...

    Internal Throttle Assembly

    Anyone know where to find a good internal throttle for the 7/8" bars? I have looked around, but it seems most of them are for 1" bars. Not looking for the Honda minibike throttle or the Vespa either. I'm looking for one meant for Triumph or another 7/8" throttle.

    Speedo drive won't hook accept speedo cable

    I'm working on a chopper project. I believe my front end is actually from a 79 XS750. The rest of the bike (including the speedo cable) is pure XS650. I'm having an issue hooking the speedo cable to the speedo drive. The connector on the drive that came with the front end isn't threaded...

    Extended speedo cable

    Hey guys, I'm finishing up a chopper project with an extended front end. I used 750 tubes made by Franks. I think they're 13" overstock, so they're pretty lengthy. No stock speedo cables will work. Any suggestions on where to get one or make one? Thanks!

    Converting from drag bars to ape hangars

    When I got my bike it came with very nice new drag bars and they look pretty good, but.... personally if I wanted my elbows and knees touching when I rode I'd buy a crotch rocket. I found some nice 7/8 15" black powder coated ape hangers on eBay today and bought them. What all am I looking at...

    Grips?

    I'm looking for white Coke bottle style grips......I found a lot of 1" grips, just wondering if anyone has come across any 7/8" grips. Either I'm really retarded or am looking in the wrong places. Also with the throttle side should I get a 1" to fit over the sleeve and obviously 7/8" on the left...

    riser bushings

    Hi, just registered on this site I am building a hardtail 79 XS 650, and wondering if anyone knows of any poly riser bushings to replace the rubber ones. They will need a center hole of 1/2 inch to take my aftermarket risers. I know I can spin some up on the lathe, but if someone already makes...

    Forward controls

    I'm running forward controls, and was wondering if someone makes a gear shift designed for that. I could take mine, cut it in half and drill a hole, but would like to find one that look made for it. Clean looking.

    Making throttle cables?

    Has anyone made their own cables? Any tips on soldering the ends on? I know you need to use silver solder. I have a 2 into 1 throttle cable for dual mikuni 34mm VM carbs, but I'd like to add 45 degree hard bends to the top of the carbs. I also want to modify the single cable to go into a...
