Wanted - Mechanic in Houston TX

[Jessie Lule]

Im looking for an experienced mechanic that can help me finish my 79’. I have a 78 engine. 77’ frame with swing arm, rain catcher 18” 19” rims that I would be willing to trade and cash of course for the service.

It needs a shorter kickstand most likely custom.
Tabs for the seat in order to fasten it down.
Top end rebuild.
Peackock replacement.
Gas hose lines.
Tack weld a few things.
Throttle cable replacement.
Front brake rebuild or replacement.
Possibly re wire a few things. It looks really sloppy.

Thanks Moabite. Utah is a bit far for me though. I have found someone in Austin that will be taking care of it.

Jessie, who in Austin did you find. I have a 79 XS that is starting to smoke out the right cylinder and will need a top end redo in the near future.

Chris at Limey bikes. He’s an XS guru. Check out his site. http://chris-kelland.squarespace.com/tracker-xs650

Looks like Limey Bikes is top notch. Maybe you could let me know sometime down the road your thoughts on the top end rebuild. Thanks.
