Hello guys, I live in Las Vegas and need a front fender bracket for my '75 XS650. The gentleman I bought the bike from had the front fender, which is in really great shape, but not the bracket or hardware to put it on. I've been watching eBay for a couple of months now and haven't been able...

Here's my "Bar Hopper" build. A nice front brake is all it needs ;). My buddy asked me if he could put the "No Bar Too Far" sticker on it. Since I'm a bartender it seemed sorta fitting. Mark

5twins, Unfortunately, I have to agree with your opinion. My optimism was based upon how badly the bike was running, before rejetting it. However, I took the bike for it's first extended ride today and it was apparent I needed to do more tweaking to get the jets right. It runs much better...

Heya Guys, Just an update. The bike is running great and we have the tank and fender painted flat black.. which is the color it will stay. The seat upholstery is done and I'll be riveting it to the pan tomorrow. We are getting close now and I'm getting really pumped. I love the way this...

Thanks for the nice comment. I'm really happy, though of course we have some tweaking and a lot of finish work before she's ready. I should be getting my finished seat from my sister-in-law tomorrow. Just so happens she is a fashion designer and has a machine to sew leather. She generally...

Heya Guys, I gotta tell you I am stoked. I am no where's near finishing my project, but me and my buddy rejetted the carbs on my XS650 today and got her running pretty damn sweet. I'm not much of a video person, but I took a video of the first run after we put the carbs back on. It's been 25...

If proceeds go to the site I'll buy the calendar... otherwize I'll just look at the builds online. Hot babes won't change my mind either way, but I won't bitch if you throw them in either. A well put together product will probably prompt me to buy more than one. For what it's worth, I'd love...

Thanks so much for the quick reply. I was sure it's cosmetic, but I sorta like it and wanted to know what it was called so I could get one without the cut in it. Mark

Hey guys, Hope everyone had a good thanksgiving. I've been looking for replacement parts for my 650 and one has me stumped. I don't know how to post pics, but if you look at the link to my album above and look at the pic of my bike, there is a circular cover plate right above the brake foot...

Hello guys, I've searched quite a few sites and not been able to come up with an answer, so I'm sorry if this has been asked before. I have a 1975 xs 650 with stock carbs on it. The guy I bought it from told me I'd probably want to change the carbs from the dual cable throttle cable to a...

Figured I'd need to change the jets. Thanks for the confirmation. Also thanks for the replies and links. Gonna have most of December off. Time to get building.

Hello Guys, Just wanted to introduce myself. I bought an 1975 XS650 a couple of weeks ago. It was someones brat project. I was intending to brat one out anyhow and I liked the work the guy did when I went to look at it, so I bought it for $750.00. Currently, it's at a friends house and we...
