11 X 17 X 15" I saw this at the Handbuilt show a couple of weeks ago. More on the show later. Talked to a couple of the guys. Price is $3,000. They claim that competitors' desktop CNCs start at 5K, plus 1K for the software, so this is half the price. They also say that this is the only...

I am somewhat computer dumb, and need help. My "normal" monitor is connected to my "normal" desktop computer with a HDMI cable. Monitor is new, computer is a few years old and runs Windows 10. I see these HDMI wireless display adapter dongles. Do I just pull out the HDMI cable, install the...

This is a 50/50 mix of ATF and acetone. Shake it up, and it separates as shown in about a minute. ATF on the bottom, acetone on top. I read a bunch of "freeing up stuck motor" posts, and this is very popular, poured into the spark plug hole, but what's the point? If the ATF is just going to...

EDIT: This part-out is on hold. I'm thinking I might resurrect it after all. Not sure, 50/50 chance at this time. Sorry for any inconvenience. Parting out this 1971 XS1B. More pics in attachments below. Some parts are pretty nice. Some aren't. Some parts are inexpensive. All parts will...

This message just popped up on the yamahaxs650.com site. I sure hope it mean they are going to restock lots of the parts they are sold out of. I buy from them consistently.

I bought this matching numbers 1971 XS1B Monday. I was stoked. The seller needed to keep the exhaust for his own 72 project, but otherwise pretty much complete and unmolested. My plan was to do a resurrection similar to my 1973 Super RustBucket. In other words, do the minimum necessary to...

Toot your own horn time... Took first place in the Master's Division (age 40 and above) of a race last Saturday. I'm 66, so I was competing against people 26 years younger than me. What's more, I came in 4th over all ! Okay, now the rest of the story. First, this was a 5K run, not a...

Looking for a usable chrome trim strip for a 1973 TX650. Hoping that someone saved one from their otherwise rotted out and discarded seat. FYI -- this is ONE-YEAR only trim strip on a one-year only seat. Only a 1973 TX650 chrome strip will work for me.

1971 XS1B. Note the chain deflection caused by the center stand foot hitting it. Clearly, there should be some kind of "stop" to limit how far up the center stand can go. I am aware that there is no muffler in my pic. Is the muffler the stop? The big curve on the center stand's tang just...

I have had a fair smattering of 1970-1972 gas tanks pass through my hands. All have been dang near impossible to close the gas cap on. I have one now that I need to de-rust (https://www.xs650.com/threads/video-of-my-potters-wheel-tank-tumbler-cleaner.62917/) and put into service. I cannot...

The intake bell of my carburetor has a 1-5/8" long crack in it. Crack was discovered while chasing a weird intermittent running issue, which had to be either the ignition or the carbs. A routine check of the ignition came up empty, so I removed the carbs and found this. The crack does not...

Can someone please tell me what the dimensions are of the pin removal tool that works on this type of stock XS650 latching connector. I'm tired of struggling with makeshift tools, and intend to make one from a stainless spoke. The pic shows a (replacement) stator connector. Thank you.

Looking for an inexpensive but decent new coil for points ignitions. What do you use/recommend?

https://www.ebay.com/itm/186151820943 On eBay, not mine. I've never seen one of these before. 4 available. Part 8 in the diagram below.

I need one of these. Anyone have one lying around? It is a mounting plate for this type of aftermarket XS650 highway peg. I'll buy the whole assembly, both sides, if necessary. One of my plates was damaged when I got hit by a car while riding a couple of weeks ago... ...and is now...

Before. Note that the dent does not have any creases, however it is irregular, and also goes through the tank's top welded seam. After. The pic has some misleading reflections, however the dent is almost completely gone...

If you are listing an item for sale on eBay, eBay will now let you use Artificial Intelligence to generate an Item Description for you, if you so choose, based, apparently, on your Item Title and particulars. Here's how it works. I'm listing early handlebar risers and dampers, and I came up...

https://www.ebay.com/itm/254873870125?var=554715039939 Also available in silver, and available in silver or gold but without the shrouds. For 35mm forks. ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐-1/2 stars out of 5 I believe this is a fairly new item. It's been referenced on the Forum once before, but no one has reviewed it...
