AHAMAY !!!!

I’ve bought from HVC Cycle before. They specialize in 2 stroke parts, but the XS and RD shared many of the same parts...

So what seat are you running on this again?

They are the 1.75 stainless pipes from yamahaxs650.com. Nice work on this one. Lots of tasty custom bits.

Boy that’s shiny. Looks great. Love that plug holder.

Got my rig tuned up tonight and trued and temporarily balanced a cl77 wheel that I laced a few weeks ago. I had a spare magnetic tray...

Correct, lower threaded are for trueing. The threads are typical chinesium quality. A little rough but should smooth out. I plan to...

Shave weight, ditch the E-start motor and run a smaller battery. I question your 1.25" Commando exhaust. Is that just a typo?

A new addition to my shop. I’ve got a couple wheels to throw at it. Paid $75 for an open box in Amazon.

The xs650 of the car world???

Funny you should mention this. My father also has Macular Degenerative Disease and I take him in for shot in his eyeballs every 3...

Just turned 50 this year. God willing I have quite a few years left in me.

Glad to hear you are sticking around Bob. Your presence here has made this a better place and helped develop the community atmosphere...

I got it on amazon years ago. I bought two different sized rolls. I have a tote full of wiring goodies. I’ve also used VC for their...

Plugging away at this one piece at a time. I’ve been working on the wiring harness the last few days. A lot of it is salvageable so I...

I bought the SC20

I will grab a few more pictures tonight to share.

Here you go. https://www.sharpertek.com/ultrasonic-cleaning-solution.html

I broke down and bought a gallon of the Sharpertek SC20 cleaner. It was $61 delivered to my door. I ran my first batch through it last...

My buddy’s brother is grafting a KLX swingarm onto his TT500. It’s a pretty slick mod and he said there’s not a lot to it.

I may have a problem… I picked this up yesterday on Marketplace. It was on there for about a week and just over an hour away from me...

Now you tell me... lol. These were a set of VM34 carbs if that were to make a difference. I'll snap some pics when I get home tonight.

I did not use any soap in the initial ZEP bath. Just 50/50 solution and water.

I was shocked too. I had seen your post having good results with it. So far I have had two bad experiences turning aluminum black...

Funny this thread popped up today. Last night i used my unit to clean some new to me carbs. I used the ZEP Citrus which is supposed to...

I got a great deal on a decent straight front rim the other day. It’s far from perfect but the chrome is presentable and will pair well...

Looking good!

It mounts under the lever perch. I think I may have one floating around the parts bin somewhere. Think I saw it a few days ago

Time to bring this project back from the dead! Life has certainly got busy for me and this poor bike has been patiently waiting in the...

PM sent

I PM'd you Jim. Thanks.

I also put a new clutch pack in yesterday. Upgraded to the extra 8 plate setup that Gary sold. Easy peasy install.

Checking to see if anyone has a rotor puller still floating around before I pull the trigger and buy one for myself.
