    245mm REAR discs with same fitment as OEM anyone ? ? ?

    Hi Charlie , that catalog you speak of would help a lot , I've ordered a Ducati rear disc but if I can get something to fit without machining an adaptor plate that would save time and effort . Is it possible to email the catalog ?

    Latest problem with front end SWAP is speedo and brake issues

    The old spindle may be an option but swapping wheel ain't as want mags front and rear to match , may just have electronic speedo as cable type are hassle anyway . The brakes issue is most important to be honest , think I will try pick up some cheap 320mm discs with the required offset and go...

    Will rear shocks designed for a heavier bike be ok on the XS ?

    Your shocks look fine but just not the look I'm after on my bike , chrome in the Damp old UK pits about 10 mins after fitting lol . £300 uk pounds is still low end cost as wilbers shocks $1500 and ohlins the same , I've had cheap gas shocks on another bike and they were pants to be honest ...

    Will rear shocks designed for a heavier bike be ok on the XS ?

    Ok cheers Leo for the advice , so the answer to the question is sort of If I buy shocks listed as sport derived bike they will be stiffer with less sag . Its only the fact I don't want to waste $600 on shocks that ain't right , but hey it's all a learning curve I guess on my first build :thumbsup:

    Will rear shocks designed for a heavier bike be ok on the XS ?

    Hi all I'm trying to choose some shocks with a longer travel of 360mm for my street tracker project but shocks of this length that will fit are designed for heavier bikes . XS650 is 200kg or so and the bikes that have these shocks ( YSS TOPLINE RANGE ) are about 260kg and these are adjustable...
