seems the top race is very loose in the neck radially, about .050" loose, anybody had this issue?

So I'm gonna cafe my '75 this winter, and I was looking for some handlebar advice. I think I want clubmans, but I was wondering if anyone has any issues with fitting the controls or anything hitting the tank. Also, does anyone have any insight as far as drop and pullback? Pictures would be...

Hi! I am considering getting a "Special" tank for my -77 standard tracker/scrambler project, just for the slimmer look/lower weight. The plan is then to replace the stock fuel cap with an alloy "aircraft style" filler cap. I realize there will be some fabrication involved, since the stock cap...

hi, does anybody know who can make a complete hartail frame for a 72? my frame has been welded mire than the queen mary.

I have just about tripped over this rather long detailed video with a guy extending the swing arm. Now I can't seem to find it. Anyone got a link? It had him doing a 3" extension. Just in his home garage, and he starts by disconnecting the arm and sliding it back to where he wanted it. The...

This winter I plan to pull the motor to at least do a topend rebuild, maybe more and will be striping the frame to paint/powder, but in the meantime I would like to ride and for it to look done before the snow flies. Would anyone have a recommendation on a good brush on paint I could use to hit...

Hey everyone, I have a '75 xs650 with vm34s and pods, and this winter I'm starting to cafe it. I was curious as to what all of you cafe gurus are using for lengths of clutch and throttle cable, and the electrical wires of the controls. P.S. I'll be putting 7/8" diameter 27.5" wide drag...

Looking to get a frame shipped to me. I was wondering what's an approx weight? Thanks in advance.

Hey all, I'm going to modify my '75 a little bit over the winter into something of a cafe racer. I have a seat on the way, gonna put some drag bars on it, and I was probably gonna get some taller shocks. 1. What are the stock shock lengths? (I think I heard about 11 or 11.5"?) 2. I've been...

I have bee searching the forum, but cannot find any information on what years side covers are interchangeable. I have a '78 Special, and I know the difference in mounts for the early and later models. I have noticed the shape seems to be different for some of the earlier 70's models (maybe...

Im looking to put a sissy bar on my bike so I can strap things to it. Ive found a couple on ebay but I need some help. I know the two attachment points (shocks and turn signals) correct me if im wrong, but it looks like theirs a third. The third has a bar that extends a little. Can someone tell...

I've been working on my '78 that I am stripping down to a sort of dual sport "street scrambler", but am running into issue deciding a.) should I run a rear fender, or b.) why type of fender to run. I am leaning more towards some sort of short fender to mount the tail light & license plate to...

Just curious if anyone is in the market for a King and Queen style seat for their XS. Fits my 77 perfectly and is in great shape. I rode with it twice and its just not my style so now its just taking up space. It is about to go on ebay but figured I would check here first.

Just wondering where is a good place to cut the swingarm to extend it? Anyone have any tips on how to do this?

So I'm thinking about putting some clip-ons on my '75 xs650. For those of you that have done it: Using the stock controls, did you use the stock wiring to the controls, stock throttle cable (mikuni vm34s), stock brake lines, etc (length I guess is what I'm concerned about)? What size...
