Is there any other 17mm axle drum brake wheels out there 18' 19" 21" ? can the xs400 wheel bearing be changed to work with a 17mm axle?.

Hello everyone. This is my first post here. I just picked up a basket case 79 xs650 I am planning to build a Scrambler type bike out of and I am trying to get it into a roller state right now. I need to know what the dimensions are for the front wheel spacers, they are missing. I should be able...

Hey guys Has anyone ever tried to replace the steel inserts for the sprocket bolts in a rear hub ? One of mine is stripped and a P/O tried to drill it. Are they pressed in Threaded maybe ? Thanks

Can anyone tell me where I can pick up a camshaft for a drum rear brake? not sure on the year of the hub or drum. thanks,

Hi guys, would like to take my 81 xs650 up the coast of California, but its got the stock sprockets in the front and rear i believe, and when i go on the free way at around 70-75mph its revving somewhat high, around 35-4k rpm, would like to be a lot lower if im going to riding long distance...

I have a 77 standard and the manual for it. I swapped my spoke wheels for mags. Can someone post the pages from a manual showing the parts and assembly of the mag wheels. I am not sure i have all the right parts to assemble them.

I'm hunting for a new rear tire and I would like to find a vintage style tire. I know tire sizes have been beaten to no end but the search function here did not net what I'm looking for. I found a Duro tire sized at 5.10-16 that was pretty cheap. I don't want to waste my money or time on a tire...

This will be going in a hard tailed frame. Fatboy rear axle is a 3/4" axle (19.05mm). Rear axle of an xs650 is 20mm right? So if I use a fatboy axle am I ok? Or are there bearings I can put in the wheel to use the xs650 axle? Kinda confused so any help is appreciated. Thanks

does any one know how to remove the rear wheel dust cover, brake side on the drum brake models with out damaging it.and if i do damage it where i can buy another one thanks jeff

Anyone have any experience with this? O-ring 530 chain for $40 seems like a steal. Also looks like it comes with a clip master link instead of rivet. Is this a disaster waiting to happen?

I want to lace a 21inch Akront hoop to my stock 75 disc hub and run it on my 81 Heritage Special. .. where can i get PLAIN spokes? I intend to paint or powdercoat the spokes, so stainless steel seems like alot of extra expense.... Also, how can i run dual discs? I dont need the speedo....

I have my mag wheels at the shop to get tires installed and i am at work. They need to know rotation direction of the wheels before mounting the tires, the speedo on the left side solved the front. The sprocket and brake disc are removed from the 16" rear mag. I need to be able to tell them...

Hi Guys, Is anyone running an Omar's street tracker fender (XRWO or XRWS) with the stock 16" rear mag from a Special? Could you post up a picture, hopefully side view? I've been looking for such a pic for a couple of hours now to no avail. Most everybody with an Omar's fender is running...

so ive got a 21 x 3.25 in rim, i believe the tire size i need is 120. im looking for a low profile tire with vintage looking tread. havent had much luck though. not looking for a ww either. thanks could i fit a 300 tire on to a 325 rim or is this a terrible idea?

I've been searching around and it doesn't seem like anyone is having this problem. So I have an 81 xs650 Special. I took it to a shop to have a new tire a Shinko 777 130/90 - 16 and got it on. At the same time I had a new chain. The shop calls me and said they had a problem, but it is...

Anyone running a 130 rear tire? I would like to go a little wider, but I think a 130 would be too wide for a stock 75' swing arm. I also know that not every 130 tire is the same, so any input would help. I'm trying to stuff the widest, most low profile, highest performance tires I can on this thing.

Hey guys. Pretty new to the forums as well as owning a 650. Ive pretty much been a car guy, but have recently gotten the bike bug. Picked up my 650 this summer and have already began replacing and modifying. Everything i've gotten/done has been pretty straight forward in terms of installing...

Ok so I am looking to put a 73 set (19 front and 18 rear) on my 81, but the wheel set has no axles or spacers. So what parts do I need to make them work? The 81 has stock forks and swing arm.

Hi, maybe someone can advice me with the front axle installation to my Yamaha XS2 1972. I took some pictures, and here are my questions: 1. picture: the parts (no question here) 2. picture: does this axle-tube go in here, and how deep should it go (it`s very tight)? Should that washer go...
