So, I have never owned a motorcycle before, but I got the bug this past summer. I saw a ratty little bike buzzing around Madison and ended up moving into the neighborhood the guy lives in. I saw the bike sitting by his garage and thought it looked cool. Pretty simple bobber, rigid struts etc...

I'm new here and figured I'd post some pics from one of my bike projects. I rescued this bike out of my friends back yard. It had been sitting there for about 15 years. It was mostly original. The engine had been replaced but that was about it. He had the original engine and the title and...

Hello. For some time I have had 1000 questions about "how to do this, and how to do that". I´m starting to get fed up with myself:laugh: So as a little side track I figured it would be fun to see what we XS riders have in our garages besides all the tools, bikes, oil and all that kind of...

Here's the first pics of my project , It's going to have a rephased engine 277 with old school looks ( hopefully ) still wondering where i'm going to put controls etc kinda winging it

Hello there! After getting rid of all the carbon on my 750 pistons I can see this numbers at the pistonhead. This pistons mesures 79mm and I´m confused since the 750 pistons you buy from Mikes or Heiden Tuning or whatever seems to mesure 80mm. Any inputs?? Thanks/BigBoreSwede

I was told it's been there for 15 years. P and F motorcycle salvage in Dover, Delaware.

I HAVE A 1975 XS650. I HAVE NIFTY PLANS FOR IT AND THE PLAN IS TO HAVE THE THING TOTALLY DONE BY BIKE WEEK OF THIS YEAR. THIS IS WHAT I AM WORKING WITH:

I am going to look at this bike on Friday hopefully to purchase. The owner cannot get me the vin at the moment.

Did you ever get to a point in your project where you just really ran out of steam for awhile? Well I have that....big time. But given a warm day, I went back at it today some. What I did was grind down the bullet end of a couple of bungs so they were a bit thinner, and shoved them into the...

Trying to post pics, hope it works. So far, I have made some progress, bike runs great. I am not loving the yellow, added some graphics just to try to break up the yellow. I am going to downsize the side number plates, WAY down. Just picked up a much smaller Sportster headlight. Re-built forks...

i am new here and just wanted some opinions on this bike forsale. i have been looking for a xs650 to build into a bober for months and either cant find anything around oklahoma with a reasonable price or a big pile of crap. this one looks to be a piece for $300 but i a willing to do some work...

We took the 650 out for a little fun on Sunday. It worked o-k other than being too heavy and the bars being too low.

Hey Six-Fifters, I'm building a 650 hardtail and I'm kind of stuck. I can't seem to think of any good idea for pegs. :banghead: The stock part of the frame where the front pegs mounted are obviously now gone, so that idea is out. I'm not over the top about forward controls because most of...
