Craigslist deal of the day.. Picked up a running 1978 motor with carbs, coils full wiring harness, and exhaust pipes. All for $125!! lol the cabs have stuff engraved into them... might have to try and sand it down. couldnt pass up the deal. I will still run the motor that I already have due to it has less miles and is alot cleaner. lol

SORRY FOR SLACKING!!
So here is a little update. I stripped the frame down, cut out the stock neck gussets and cleaned up all the old welds. Nothing smells better then some 36 year old metal bring cut off lol.. I have some TC Bros neck gussets ill be welding in soon. I also for the new front end put on. With all new tapered bearings. (I will write up a some better info later. On the how to part.)
Next step is to get my rear wheel milled down and have the rear hub milled to fit.

And YES i will be running that fat of a rear tire. 170!!! When I was out in OH and stopped in at the TC Bros shop and picked up all my goodies. I was talking with Tyler and he was telling me that the biggest I would be able to run was a 140 and that would be pushing it.. Well I intend to prove him wrong!! lol.

I have posted it before. Go to allballsracing.com and http://www.allballsracing.com/index.php/forkconvertion
shipped to my door was only $43
you will need to do some research on the forks you wanna swap. you will need to also measure your fork stem. If they do not make the bearings you need. you can always have the stock xs650 stem pressed into the new forks.
