    For Sale - 77D fair price?

    Hello all! It's been a long time. I was really active during the restoration of this beauty back in 18 and 19. I bought an 07 Suzuki boulevard that has become my main bike, and then a 65 Thunderbird last year. I'm considering going back to school and barely have time to wrench, plus I barely...

    Help! My head has been (POORLY) tapped and countersunk. What can I do to fix it?

    I should have put this to bed a long time ago. I sold this chopper to some kid and bought my current XS. So I don’t know what happened with the old Head.

    For Sale - Thad’s ‘77D

    Thanks mailman. I’m not totally decided, but like my post says, if I have to make a choice it is really hard. I can’t imagine not having a bike at all. Check out some of my recent customizations- I’m making it a tribute to my old Lincolns. Vintage Trunk lock cover for the gas key on the dash and...

    For Sale - Thad’s ‘77D

    Hello all. Shits getting real and I am prepping for hard times. I have two bikes right now and as much as I love my XS, my Suzuki Bully is just more practical and dependable, and thus, I am seriously considering selling my XS. If I sell it, I have lots of extras that go along with it, so I feel...

    What have you done to your XS today?

    I took her out yesterday for the first ride since getting my Suzuki. I literally hadn’t even started it since buying the other bike. I hate to say it but it felt like a toy after putting 2,000 on the C90. Its crazy to think my XS seemed big and intimidating when I first got it. I still need to...

    For Sale - ‘77 stock exhaust mufflers

    I also have a spare rotor from I think a later bike with the pickup magnets; it came off my chopper when I swapped to a PMA system. It’s still at my dads apartment. Any takers? What are these going for these days? I’ve got to pay for four new tires on the car and registration expenses on the Zuki

    I am selling my stock ‘77 mufflers with the cross pipe. I am still using my stock headpipes on my bike, but will include the thread on adjusters. They have some rust through towars the rear, but the chrome is still good and they are functional. Just a little louder than stock. Asking 150.00 OBO

    What have you done to your XS today?

    Also, a pair of two xs’s just popped up on the local CL for 1500.00 a 76 with the black and gold tank and a yellow shitty looking one. Both run but the yellow doesnt have a title. Every time I jump on something this happens. Oh well. The boulevard’s power and practicality really do blow these...

    What have you done to your XS today?

    Just putting this out there, I’m selling my original exhaust system mufflers in the far sale section. They have some rust through but are still fully funcitonal and possibly repairable. Chrome is good on them except for the rust through spots.

    What have you done to your XS today?

    Man, thanks for that washer trick for the center stand spring! My center stand looks like crap; it’s almost solid brown from surface rust and really detracts from the aesthetics of the bike. I’ve been avoiding removing it because the spring looked like a bear to deal with. I’ve been completely...

    What have you done to your XS today?

    I’m flattered. I HAVE lost about 15 lbs since I first bought the jacket. Yesterday I weighed in at 188. Working 55 hrs last week, not sleeping, and stress in general have helped in the cause. The jacket is still snug, but it fits now.

    What have you done to your XS today?

    I was doing 85-90 the whole way home yesterday and it felt like 55. I got a pretty good deal I think. There’s only 12k on the clock. I’m probably going to take off the windscreen and the stupid speakers. In the future is whitewalls, white grips, And probably mini apes. My daughter loves it. She...

    What have you done to your XS today?

    You’d be amazed at how much rust on chrome can be removed with chrome polish and elbow grease. Tbh though, your wheels do look like the chrome may be peeling or stripped enough to not be salvageable. I use turtle wax chrome polish, and another great product is evaporust. I’ve never used it this...
