conversion

I’ve come across posts that mention it. Even seen some examples. But how feasible would it be? What modifications would need to be done for this kind of swap? Any two cents would be much appreciated.

Hello everyone.. my question is, Does any body know of a conversion kit That has an outer diameter of a Harley bearing and the inner diameter of a XS650 axle slot. ? I’m using a Voodoo vintage hardtail mk21 made for the XS650 stock wheel. Any info would be great. Thank you.

I recently came across this: http://www2s.biglobe.ne.jp/~outex/tubelesskitenglishlist.htm I am really tempted to try this on my new shoulderless Morad 2.50x18 rear wheel (Talon KTM 500 MX disc brake hub, SS spokes) I just weighed a 4.00x18 inner tube I had, it was almost 2 LBS!! It may be a...

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...

35mm tree with early stem for 71'-74or75ish. Not sure when 35mm got switched over. Had this on 72' with tapered bearings. Pretty much just took the 35mm stem. Turned it out in lathe. Welded and returned for lower bearing surface and then welded back into lower tree. Currently making a full...

So I just recently acquired a 1979 XS650 Special from an old farmer (for $75) :D and am in the beginning stages of the build. I am going to replace all factory electrical components, and go kick start only. It's starting to make my head hurt to sift though all the different information, and...

Hey guys, I've done some searching around on the forums and I'm seeing some different options for Brembo 65mm calipers with the pandemonium kit. Most of the members who do this seem to use gold Brembos from Ducatis or Aprillias. I noticed that there is also a 65mm Brembo from the k1200/f800 BMW...

All I have a 76 XS with a rear disc conversion performed by the PO. I thought it was something he'd thrown together, but it appears he's followed the basic layout of the factory disc setup. A slight change to the swingarm mean the PO conversion doesn't quite fit, and I'd like to look at...

Here is the beginings of my Electric Vehicle project based on my 1978 XS 650 Special. I had a few oil leaks from the engine that my OCD could not handle any longer (oddly enough not from the clutch pushrod seal.) Too many mornings praying that it would start just to have it disappoint me and...

Right hey guys. Let me start off by saying this is my first bike. I am a amateur. I have picked up and old 1983 xs special. It came with a 250 and 400 spare including whole engine. I am replacing the top half, cylinders etc with the 400 and so far I have run into some problems. (By the my...
