I got a 1982 us special. Well I got a Ducati monster frontend laying around, bit to much work and expensive to get that on place. But I want a retro looking racer, so regular racing öhlins dampers will ruin the look. If they got some retro looking dampers i'm in for it. I'm not gonna race...

The front end will be rebuild all the way, with a new valve, progressive spring, and hugh's handbuilt lowering kit (look how it's installed). Will it be over sprung... NO, the problem can be that the sprig will be to soft. As for the rear i'm not after any exotic brand dampers, just to hear...

If you se on pictures of xs650 cafe racers many people have lowered the triple trees on their front suspension, so they have a stick up over their triple trees, I don't want that on my bike. So if I lower the front 2" the bike will have a "visual" horizontal line under the tank an make the bike...

I'm gonna lower my bike 2" and I wonder if somebody can tip me a good quality rear dampers? Preferably looks vintage and have some adjustment options.

nice, I'm not a member on the other forum so I can't se the pictures, but the rubber mount look great, is that a par you can order or do you have to make it?

Everything, the prework on the sheet metal was poor so the tank has flat spots, and he cooked the weld (to much heat). The most idiotic thing is that the welder is a pretty good industrial welder with low fail %. But I think this was just to new experience to him and he never done it before.

I had a welder weld a new gas cap on the original tank (round gas cap), and he did a terrible work and the result was that I bought a cheap but good xs750 gas tank to put on instead.

How does the people on this forum fastening their xs750 tank on their xs650 frame? The front fastening point is opposite on the original tank than there is on the xs750 tank, how did you guys fix this?

no, more like where companys buy there stuff to sell as they own, like harbor freight and companys like that.

Does anybody got some experience with alibaba.com? I think for private shopping and not for a company.

Is it posible to buy a complete kicker bendt to avoid rearset?

Hi I have to write an application to my local authority to cut and grind on the frame, I´m building a cafe racer so if anyone have a picture of just the original frame with all of the fasting brackets etc cut of, and original bend on the loop on the back of the frame that would be great...

The master cylinder I got now i huge and and in the color black and gold, looks horrible :) I'm located in Kristiansund. The front is complete with rim so the offset is not a problem. My plan is upgrade dampers, wheels, brakes, lite tune up on the engine and a build as a caferacer.

I want to change my Brembo master cylinder to one a bit smaller and up to date look. The Brembo brakes comes from a Ducati monster an it's dual caliper system. what do I have to have in mind size, piston lenght and so on to change to a new one? Do this fit my brakesystem...

Does anybody know were I can buy a bracket to put on a Brembo rear brake? Like "jdizon" have put on his pocket rocket. I'm working on a front swap to Ducati monster and there is double Brembo front brake on, so I want symmetry front and rear. The bike has disc brakes rear as stock.
