Its been a long time

Ordered a pair of Commando peashooter mufflers today. These are made in 1 3/8" or 1 5/8" inlet but I have asked for them to be made to...

Lovely example. Good luck with the sale.

No, it's fixed in place.

Yes, I think it's just the job. I looked at the YouTube video you recommended and I thought that as a complete novice I should make the...

No progress with XS650 stuff recently. Today never saw the temperature rise above minus five Celsius (23 Fahrenheit for the people...

Good to hear. It's by far the best fix for the XS650 charging system that I know of.

Good question. Someone here probably has one they could measure.

To be frank, I have no idea. I have Triumph yokes and generic 41mm Showa forks from Honda/Suzuki, so I haven't really bothered looking...

Well, I was a bit bored so I looked up the bearing sizes for the RE 650 steering stem. Both upper and lower bearings are 25mm ID. So I...

RE 650 bottom yoke and stem. Depending on stem length, it might be just a case of bearings choice. IIRC All Balls have a bearing...

Using RE yokes, quite easy. Press out the stem. Machine a stem like XS650 and press it into the RE bottom yoke. Not too difficult? I...

If it hasn't already been done, clean all the contacts in the handlebar switches and the ignition switch. There's guides here how to do...

You might care to note that in my opinion, the 20 amp fuse is in the wrong place. Being next to the capacitor, it leaves the ignition...

If you want your mind to be truly exploded, enter PWK 32 into Ali Express. I just did. And my mind is truly boggled :whistle:

I "think" these are the PWK 32 that the owner above bought -...

FWIW, a search on Amazon for PWK 32 finds them.

Good decision.

If that is a dual skinned header pipe, it's going to be pretty futile applying pressure to inside of the inner pipe. That's just not...

That's a very good question. Having seen at least one expensive engine rebuild blow up because the wrong circlip was used, I have only...

Did anyone ever get those Mike's XS Taiwanese carburettors running properly? Good to hear you have a result now though.

I am not expert at all with Type B regulators. But I think Red, Green, Black is a fairly common colour scheme for the three wires on...

Not that it really matters. But there's just one white/red wire to the ignition system. BB splits the single red/white wire to feed 12v...

The kill switch as shown can be used to turn power onto the bike without frying the Boyer Bransden system or the ignition coil. I do...

Looks OK to me for a 1975 field excited alternator set up?
