Does anyone know of where to get a Starter Gear Repair Kit besides Mikes??? They've been out for a while now and are not expecting to get a shipment until (possibly) mid-september.... :banghead:

New to this 650 deal but I have been racing motocross for 11 years now. About 7 weeks ago now this past saturday, I was getting in some practice in Alabama for a race. I was wearing a Bell moto 6r. A freind of mine wrecked and without thinking I threw my bike down and ran over to check on him...

Anybody know where I can buy internal spacers online? HELP!

It's about time for me to get a new brain bucket. I've been using my G Force car helmet which is a nice piece, comfy etc but the ventilation is lacking, plus it's sorta noisy since it wasn't meant to be used in an open slipstream. I have a nice Arai dirt bike helmet, nice stuff but IMHO a bit...

Toying with the idea of getting an inexpensive (~ $100) helmet cam. Brands/sources/suggestions/comments?

I've decided to get a magnetic tank bag for my bikes and decided that it's not worth more than $40 to $50 to me. It's really just for convenience because a backpack does get the job done, so I won't be spending $70 or more for one. Here's the one I'm favoring so far...

Hi guys, long time lurker, first post. I just picked up an xs in pieces. looks like nearly all of it is there, has a TC bros hard tail already installed new wheels and tires, carbs etc, almost everything i need to do my bobber build. the vin is #447-70976-6, its a canadian bike and from...

My wife, (she's a saint) gave me a pair of Gasolina Classic boots for Christmas. I've been waiting 3 months for their arrival. They showed up today. They are outstanding! Very good workmanship, comfortable when walking, smell like a Mexican leather shop, and to my eye they look great. I'm a...

I'm in the Sarasota area and hen Orlando Florida for a few days and wondering if there are any discount shops that I should look at? I'm looking for a jacket and mesh armour riding gear. Also any recommendations on some good mid-cut riding boots that would double for a decent hiking boot?

any opinions on helmets? i'm looking at either the Bell custom 500 or biltwell hustler. very similar so I'm wondering if anyone has any opinions. also any recommendations on what site I should buy from? thanks.

Just wondering if anyone knows? I'm working on getting better protected from the elements for my summer commute. I am seriously considering getting Brown color Leather instead of the stock black like everyone else. It does match my bikes, But I'm really not all that fond of that black...

Team, I installed new brake rotors this weekend, replacing my old warped XS1100 rotors. I realized that the new stock rotors don't have any holes or slots in them, so I can't use my disc-brake lock anymore !! When its in storage, I can chain it up, no worries.. However, when Im out &...

Riding season is coming shortly, but it'll be some kinda chilly mornings, so I'm going to splurge on a leather jacket with a removable liner. I want something in black (or at least monochrome) with a mandarin collar and a minimum of chrome snaps/zippers/buckles, my name ain't...

Hello again guys, do you think the xs has enough power to carry 2 people for a few days? pretty much the gist of it, anything I can improve on to do so? we're looking at 300+ pounds. I hear different theories on whether larger bores increase the power so I don't think it matters but...

Been looking around and wondering WHO and WHAT KIND of saddle bags y'all might be running ? HARD TAIL in perticular as that is what mine WILL be IF the shipper ever gets here ! Will be using mine as a commuter to and from work gotta have some place to put my lunch (and that STUPID reflector belt...

Hi, all... I have a pair of Frye engineer boots that I wear when I ride the TX. Though they're about three years old, I'm sure I don't walk in them enough to really get them to soften and mold to my feet. They're not uncomfortable... I suppose I should just wear them for walking more. Any...

So I have a 1981 XS650. It has a Hugh's stator, pamco ignition, kick-start only and straight pipes with thoroughly made baffles. I am going to re-gear it with 18/30 to lower vibes on the freeway and then dyno test/ tune it. The problem I am having now is that about every third kick the...

Things that Delaware is now looking for when you are riding, (b) "Every person operating or riding on a motorcycle shall have in that person's possession a safety helmet...". Meaning 2 people, 2 helmets. And one thing they are really getting after, (c) "No portion of the handlebars on...

I was just wondering what the glove of choice is for all of you up north??

will most rotor locks fit on xs discs? The xs discs look huge to me. What locks are you using and which one should I buy? My bike has a ignition toggle and a start button so I'm trying to prevent someone from jumping on and riding away.
