[Copterpilot_57]

Guys, new here.. Picked up a sweet 1980 xs 650.. Bike is a bobber in the works.. My question is does anyone know of a good performance shop in the Houston area that can work on the early model XS platforms?

Thanks..

Engine work?

 

[Copterpilot_57]

Yes.. Motor is supposedly rebuilt 100 miles.. Looks rebuilt sounds healthy as all get out.. Carbs have a small hunt going on during idle like the could use a zinc job..

Would like someone who knows these motors to just look it over..

Hey, Copterpilot_57. In the members list, use the advanced search, and type "Houston" in the location box. There's over a hundred members out there. You'd have to view their profile to see if anyone's active.

I think that member IronSpadeCycles has a shop near you.

You can look at his "statistics", then display "Threads started..." to get an idea of his work.
He's into the Pikes Peak competitions...
