    Dirt bike front end?

    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.

    Tubeless conversion for spoked wheels. Any thoughts?

    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...

    Springer Front End Spacer

    HELP with electronics conversion

    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...

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...

    Alternative rear disc conversion ?

    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...
