did a cold compression test, after nearly 40 years, 9 different owners she is still showing 150psi on each pot.

Im in the process of a 59XLH build but this little baby is always gonna be mine.:thumbsup:
 
Yes, these are very good bikes. The fact that they hold up after all these years of P.O. abuse and now from I.C.O. (Idiot Current Owners) abuse is proof. But they won't last forever. The current crop of owners is killing them off just as fast as the old guys did. BAH ...... BAH, BAH, BAH (Buy A Honda). Unfortunately, many of you guys could kill a Honda too, even a Honda lawn mower, lol.
 
I hope you dont mean to suggest I am one of those people. But by god I know a few who fit that bill. Uneven exhaust, stock jetted carbs with pods. ugh...

Paugco frame and a springer I had.

Gonna sell off everything but the engine and rear wheel. the frame is a K-model with a bolt on hardtail poorly welded on and way too much rake.

Now Im gonna go work on my XS
