Oh and I just wanted to mention, if you say your frame looks like the one In the pic u posted, go and look up "David Bird hardtail" ya might see something that looks familiar... 😜 I believe that's what you've got. If you want my 2 cents, it's a fuckin' sweet bit of kit!! Came real close to...

What state do you live in? I'm a certified welder, if your anywhere near me on the west coast (Bay Area, California) maybe I can help out? I'm sure we could work something out! Just puttin' it out there.

I know this thread is a few years old, I apologize for the necro posting, but I just couldn't help but notice that something appears to be... A bit off? 23.6 inches from center of crank hole to edge of case!? That's nearly 2 feet! I'm quite sure the rotor's diameter is NOT 4 feet! 😂 And that...

Thank you 5twins this is exactly the answer I needed to see. Great idea, I will do just that!

I appreciate that, and see where your coming from. As far as this scoot goes, I've known the guy forever and he does shit like this frequently. Gets a project in his mind, works on it for a week or so then it's completely forgotten about, until he stumbles across it a year later and goes "oh...

ANOTHER UPDATE I figured it out!! It's called a David Bird hardtail. There's a number of threads on this very forum talking about them, actually. Seems a decade or so ago there were alot of people saying that it was a very well made, solid hardtail kit. Pretty cool! So due to schedule issues I...

Almost forgot to add these, shots of the frame in question that are almost the same angle as the image above, so you can see they are in fact the same

So, the plot thickens, y'all. I was scanning thru some Google images of xs650 Hardtails, and came across this image. I know it's not the best shot, but if you look closely, you can see that the bike shown has the same feature on the bottom of the frame! But without the coat of rust, making it a...

So your talking about cutting out that weird little area and just replacing it? with some DOM tubing, whats the stock XS tubing size 1-1/8"?? So the idea would be to recreate the original hard tail chunk's dimensions, then re-attach the bottom section, properly this time? Am I missing anything...

Halfmile, I'm curious about your response I'm not sure I follow.. care to explain a bit more? How does getting a bunch of free shit in trade for something you've spent literally $0 on become an insane money pit? Unless you mean like a pit in the ground that you reach into and pull money out...

Well, I'm gonna meet up with him, and check it out firsthand. Really glad I made this post, because now I'll be going into it with a better mindset. I'm not just letting myself get excited about what I see as a "good deal!" and throwing caution to the wind, as I have done in the past. (With...

Well it feels good at least knowing that my gut instinct was on point... Basically the guy is offering to trade me straight across for an old 70cc Honda scooter that's been sitting in my driveway for 7, maybe 8 months after a friend dropped it off and said "can I leave this here for a week or 2...

Hey y'all! It's been a lil bit since I've posted anything here, life's been a little crazy! The Mrs. & the dog & Me moved out of our way-too-small apartment and put a down payment on our first HOUSE (side note- I finally have a WHOLE STAND-ALONE GARAGE to myself!!! :rock: Already started turning...

I've got some that I made with my wifes cricut machine, using the gasket material that you buy in rolls at the auto shop and then cut out yourself... PM me if interested, not sure what it'd cost to mail from California to UK but I'm game to find out

Nevermind!!! I seem to have found my answer, so you can disregard the inquiry. :thumbsup: For the record and anyone else who may be searching for the same answer, the answer I found is yes the XJ650 stem is a direct swap with the later (post-'74) XS650 head tube, and should fit just fine...

Does anyone know if the steering stem from an xj650 is the same size as from an xs650? I need a stem for the Springer project Im working on and someone I know offered an xj650 bottom tree for basically just the cost of shipping. I looked up and found that the bearings are the same size for both...

'80 Special

Oh okay gotcha. Thanksq

So I'm a little confused what exactly are the 3 M8x25 cap screws and nuts used for??
