In my search to get my clutch setup the way I want I ended up with a set of extra clutch springs. Since this place is so damn awesome.....and I get some (mostly) good info from here I thought Id pass them along. These are Vesrah brand....and according to 650 Central: Fits all XS Set of...

Ive got a 1979 XS650 that I bought partially done as a project so Ive got no basis for "correct" operation. Tail light comes on and goes off with the key switch......head light has an on/off switch on the bars. Every other vintage motorcycle Ive owned that had a switched headlight (ie...

After having my bike toss the carbs loose from the mounts a couple times I finally took a good look at the holders - cracked, out of shape.....shot. I ordered a set from JBM Industries. There website and order process is NOT user friendly......but WOW what a product. Just holding them...

I was wiring this up before I left for work.....didnt get a chance to take any pictures but it does seem to work well. Its sealed, waterproof, vibration proof.....plenty bright.....tested dead accurate against my digital meter. Seemed like cheap insurance, I can check occasionally to make...

1979 XS650....hardtailed by previous owner. Bought the bike and rode it probably 300 or so miles no problems. Doing some "routine maintenance" I found a chunk of the 5th gear dog in the bottom of the oil pan.....and it had low compression so during winter I tore the motor down. new top...

I bought this and it didnt quite look right on my bike. Its in great shape - never rode with it on so its clean and shiny.

I dont care if its plain or finned....as long as it doesnt have Yamaha on it. Was going to order a new plain one from Mikes but I figured Id see if anyone had one first - might as well give the money to a fellow XS rider.

I just put my XS back together after a new top end.....and swapped out the 5th gear for Mikes overdrive unit. Bikes running great....starts easy.....everything OK DOKEY but.... In the first 20 miles I had the clutch slip on me about 4 times Doesnt slip when taking off.....in fact it only...

.....Ive got a 1979, just looking for the factory tools. Anyone have a kit laying around. ***FOUND ONE - CANCEL****

I'm keeping my bike simple and trying for clean...so Ive got no gauges. No odometer meant before I changed the oil when I "felt" like I had gone a thousand miles. Just recently did a top end overhaul and I'm going to try to keep on top of maintenance a little better. What I did was put...

On a couple of my bikes Ive tried to do something different with the key. Im kinda doing a 70s style bike now and was trying to un-lame the key.....which the previous owner decided to mount in plain sight in the headlight bucket. Its not high on the priority list so I wasnt about to move it or...

Ive already done the sump filter.....swapped out the side mount filter for the MikesXS kit that uses the Honda paper filters Im splitting the cases to repair a transmission issue. Im also going to take a good look at the timing chain and guides. Im seriously considering the OD 5th gear. Im...

Bought this bike about 2 months ago. Oil was clean so I just rode it.....got about 1K miles on it so I ordered the stuff to do the oil change. New sump filter and gasket from Mikes along with his "upgraded" paper filter setup. So I drop the sump and this is what I see stuck to the magnet...

I just needed some place to toss my registration, my spare license plate and a few other things. I really like the look of the single sided bags.....but damn, none of them are cheap......and they are a bit bigger then I needed so I started looking around. I discovered saddle horn bags. I...

Just some crap I have laying around.......feel free to make an offer if you think the price is to high. I have a pillion pad....unused, never mounted......black and padded......just what your looking for if your looking for something black and padded. Im thinking $30 shipped...
