Nice, but looking for narrow style. Thanks!

Sweet, PM me pics. Thanks!

Damn I actually like that seat, but looking for a complete seat, don't want to get it leather stitched. Thanks though!

Hey all I'm looking for a bobber spring solo seat. Preferably in black and in good to excellent condition. Let me know what you have! Thanks!

Well I'm running naked no gauges, other than my gps phone for speedo. Idle no clue but it doesn't feel like its too low...Plus I just got the carbs retuned the other day with new Uni foam filters, and bike is running smoother then it did before. I'm running Mikuni carbs, practically new...

That's a good idea, I appreciate the info!

Many people I see use clear tubing on the fuel tanks petcock to carburetor. Or on their fuel tank gauge sights. Mine had clear rubber tubing but has turned yellowish over time since it's been on their from the previous owner of my xs650. I just replaced it today with Clear Braided Vinyl...

Got it! Will do thanks! Theres the original and Steelstik. Which one should I use?

Hey guys, I have an issue with a slightly leaky filler neck of the fuel tank. Its right at the base, but it doesnt leak tremendously, just dribbles only on a full tank. But here's a pic for reference; I was wondering if JB weld can be used to seal it. I don't want to resort to welding unless...
