Cleaning out my shed. I've long since sold my 77 . I bought this stock colored and laminated wiring diagram from an overseas site. It helped me trouble shoot some gremlins. I've some other stuff I'll be digging out . I've some stock gauge cluster setups with the keys I think. Maybe more. Anyway...

I have a 77 in the Maxi Maroon color and I was kicking around the idea of painting it in a color that was available in Europe or elsewhere but not here in the states. I've a buddy who bought one the same color as mine and he also has a blue set of tins. I am looking for pictures of 77s sold in...

Ok this is not on my XS. I picked up of Kaws, 2 KZ440LTDs . A 79 no title but all there and an 83 with a title but the right front got singed in a fire. So this evening I spent about an hour or two and got the 79 running. Rode it around the block and those GD 70-80s roto-tiller handlebars suck...

As motorcycle riders and especially XS650 riders we all know about vibration. There is that sweet spot when everything is tuned together and the vibrations are at a minimum. Certain speeds or rpms. Below that or above that ,not so smooth. Here is a video that give a visual demonstration of how...

Today I attended one of my favorite annual events, Ralph Waynes Vintage Backyard Nationals. A kick ass block party. Lots of cool bikes to look at. Beer truck in the driveway. Grilled burgers and hotdogs. T Shirts for sale. No vendor booths. Donations taken. I saw a lot of friends and made some...

My little fledgling Vintage Japanese MC Club guys got invited to a bikes and bbq at a guys house out in the country who has a cool collection. Mostly british stuff but we were ALL drooling. Helluva shop set up too. He was a very gracious host. Lots of interesting bikes were ridden there too...

A new acquaintance is a golfer and had a buddy of his fab up this carrier for his clubs. I think it kicks ass and he should sell them. Click on the link for additional pictures of the set up. Pretty ingenious I think. :thumbsup: http://www.ruckzuck.net/golf_bag_on_bike/

I ran across a file that is a copy of a "bike" magazine period test of the Honda CB650 , XS650SE and the KZ650SR from June of 79' that was interesting to me and maybe to some of you. I thought the ol' XS held up pretty well considering they were putting it up against two inline fours. The KZ was...

The bike is in pieces and parts cost money that I'm a little short on right now. But I can still do some cleaning and painting. I had pulled off my rectifier to test it and that old battery corroded battery box spoke to me and said "Paint me". Ok so the airboxes on both sides have to be removed...

I have been invited to attend the 2011 Barret-Jackson car auction in Scottsdale , Arizona the week of January 17-23. My brother and sisters are sending me for my birthday present. Brother in Law is a car collector and goes every year. Sometimes buys or sells. They live out there so I'll have a...

Today I bit the bullet and pulled off the right side cover and got my clutch apart. I've read a lot of posts about it and still have questions. From the condition of the heads of the spring screws I's say someone has been in the before. My Clymer manual shows 6 friction plates and 5 steel...

Today I pulled the right side cover off , looked at my clutch! and I've decided to bite the bullet and buy an electric impact gun. Any suggestions/reviews?:confused:
