Gentlemen,
It appears that I've arrived a little late to the XS party. I appreciate the wealth of information that I've gathered before I signed up. I hope I can return the favor from time to time. In a previous life I was a machinist and engine builder for about fifteen years. Been out of the business for longer than I was in it but have been craving it for awhile. After reading about the xs650 engines and the wild possibilities they offer, I purchased a used engine. Then I purchased a basket case with another engine. Trying to keep it a low buck build. Trying...….. I have disassembled the second engine, cleaned it up and rephrased the crank. The bottom end is buttoned up and now I'm going to tackle the camshaft.
MrRiggs, GGGary, Hugh, Kopcicle, Hoos and many others are to blame for my temporary lapse of reason.
