Wingedwheel

I’m already running a Cush rear wheel from a TX500. The sprocket had to be shimmed out so that might work in my favor for this...

That’s actually not a bad price for one that nice.

I see these trees when I walk the dogs. First is a tree that grew into itself. It’s dead now but it had a branch that grew into a trunk...

So you didn’t have a guard to begin with? I just like something that’s not moving with friction on my wiring. Seems like over time that...

I’m going to guess and say I would think the longer shafts fit the BS38’s that were linked, so ‘76-79?

Not trying to hijack. With all the talent on here how has someone not come up with a way to refurb the cam chain guide? I know Jim did a...

A higher idle is what will happen if it’s set when the bike is cold. Set the idle when the bike is good and warm, it may be a little...

Yes that cured the issue and it even throttled up NP sitting in neutral, however my thoughts were that under load it would stumble...

https://www.xs650.com/threads/upgrade-ignition.69161/ This problem is chronicled here with no solution as of today. I feel it’s an issue...

The old ones didn’t have any adhesive so I think I’ll be OK. I gave them the tug and wiggle test and they were solid. I did notice they...

Maybe Greg just lets everyone else make them and collects royalties…

Replaced the tubes today. As I drilled each one out the ends would come free as they all appeared to be compression fit. Tubes I had...

I’m waiting for a warmer day that doesn’t include rain to try out a different set of carbs to see if that makes a difference on mine.

The tubes I ordered are seamless and I found a fuel resistant loc-tite product that may work for affixing the tubes. Only thing I’m...

A lot of guys use the H4 shell and install LED bulbs. I’d have to look for the one I ordered but less current draw and heat than a Halogen.

So enlighten us to your set-up? Pics?

Geez this thread sounds like a family get-together everyone sits around talking about their aches and pains. How many members do we even...

I ordered an assortment of small brass tubes on Amazon for $8. An assortment because it appears the older two screw petcocks have a...

Sounds like a man with experience!

My bike got knocked over in a parking lot and the impact was enough to break one of the solder blobs loose. Easy enough to figure out...

10-4 on no copper but I didn’t think about plastic.

Anyone ever replace or attempt to replace the brass tubes on the petcock. I have several sets of non-vac petcocks that sat in old fuel...

Drive belts are smooth and don’t require much maintenance and yes stay cleaner than a chain but the chain has one huge advantage.I would...

Pretty close. My manual has this.

Rob gave me a great deal on an exhaust I needed and made sure I was satisfied with everything. Thanks for a great experience.

Funds sent. Now I have a 1-off cover that needs a serious paint job.

Yep that’s the one Greg. I’ll PP you. Thanks!

We had a guitar duel and the loser had to paint the winners bike…

Well that shot my plans all to hell. Bolt from the extended cover is 80mm. The one I need is 65mm.

I’ve got the same seat on my Bobber. I like it because it’s about 6” longer than the typical aftermarket bobber seats. I got lucky and...

Did you just say something? Sorry I was sleeping!

Wrong thread…

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09WYG79R6?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_2&th=1 This is the one I used and have not had issues.

I can’t remember which length I went with but it always needs to be a couple inches longer than you think.

Stay with an 11 mm as it will give you a better feel through the lever. I can’t remember if you have dual front brakes but most of us...

Sounds like a direct short to ground. I would look at the switch since that’s what you used that started your problems. What’s the...

That’s the one I used. Pretty easy even for me!
