So over the last several months I have been about 99% on my build process. There is one thing holding me back....electrical. I have run through the wiring, my PMA, and my PAMCO, more times then I care to tell you here. I have even called Hugh and everything registers out correctly on the volt...

So with everything there is for our bike out there. I was curious what some of you would suggest for a drive chain? I currently have 520 sprockets on my bike and since I have added 4" to my frame I'm thinking I need a 130. My question is, is there a specific brand/maker any of you would...

I still have a dented deep tunnel peanut tank if anyone would like it. It should be fixable, or bondo over it. 100+ shipping.

I bought a deep tunnel peanut tank from lowbrows, and it came in dented on the side. Lowbrow was nice enough to send a replacement tank and is eating the cost of the original. So there screw up is your gain. The tank should be easily fixed but since I got a replacement I don't want to really...

Trying to find the actual size of the screw that attaches the gas cap to the gas tank 1981 xs650 special is my bike (if you even need that) Thanks, Dan

Anyone else know where I can get the YZ EZ pull clutch lever assembly and cable that xs650 central has. I'm pretty sure he isnt in the office and would like to order before the weekend.

I've finnally gotten my bike up and running and I'm looking to finish a few things before I go into the next stage of my build. Currently I'm using drags...could possibly switch to clip on's later in my build. But I would like to find a clutch bracket and lever that would compliment the...

Anyone swamping to a PMA kit still have this? I had some issues installing my PAMCO iginition and I'm going back to the stock stator until I pull my engine out early next year....I want to get her on the road and ride her first before I start customizing her, and she ran before we started...

gps2 has a cam for sale on the forums, and I recently cracked my cam in my engine. Question is simple. Will his cam work with my 1981 xs650 special? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Dan

Alright...bad news on my build Some how my Cam shaft cracked when I was placing in the bushings for my new PAMCO ignition. I'm not sure if the bushings where just the wrong size, or if the CAM was just that close to failure. So I am asking for advice. I assume the only option is to open up...

I'm in the Dallas area and I know there are several of us out here. Any of you guys need to use this Rotor Puller for your PMA swap before I send her on her way? community**....its freaking early and I haven't finished my coffee...

So I am curious if I've made a big mistake. Today I finally finished installing my PMA kit. But I have an 81 special with tci ignition, and after installing I do not have a spark....do I need to switch out my ignition system in order to use the pma? Or have I just done something wrong? The...

I ordered this from MikesXS http://www.mikesxs.net/product/03-0744.html I could swear it came with a wire diagram of what all the wires were, however I have either miss placed it or completely fabricated the idea of the diagram ever existing. Anyone know what wires go to what?

Can you realistically remove what I have outlined in the image and still be structurally sound? Just curious about your thoughts

Any offers for my stock stator and rec?

I swear ever since I started looking at this site...every time I see a old Triumph gas tank I think what my bike would look like with one on there....how difficult are they to adapt to the xs650's frame?

So I've got my 1981 xs650 special. Her left side piston is very fickle. We have had her started and jump started the piston with carb cleaner, and she has stayed on. Other times she will only fire here and there. So my question is this, we've already rebuilt them once to get them where they...

Ok I'm pretty sure I'm missing something im trying to put my wheels back together and it just doesn't feel right. You hopefully can see my axel with the spacers and such attached....I'm almost certain those are all the parts that came out of my wheel....am I wrong in either the arrangement or...

Hoping to swap out my PMA kit...I know you can get them from Mikes for pretty cheap...but I would be very thankful if someone had one I could borrow =)

Ok so I got my PMA kit in from Hugh's the other day and soon I will be looking forward to installing it on my bike. Question though...where is the best place to install the regulator and what is the best method to mount it to the bike with limited amount of fabrication (i.e. I don't want to...
