I am considering having my spoked wheels powder coated. I plan on everything being coated one color, spokes, rim and hubs. My local powder coating guy told me I still have to disassemble everything. Does this sound right? Can't he just tape off the inner hub brake surface and where the sprocket...

I am looking for a used solo bobber seat for my XS650 project.

My friend has a 1975 XS650 that was recently rebuilt. He has about 200 miles on the rebuilt engine. He rode the bike over to my house and while it was idling I saw black oil dripping from his exhaust tip. I dipped my finger in and and it clearly smelled like burnt oil. Since this was a recent...

I am looking for a spoked front wheel, complete with hub and either disk or drum brake. My bike is a 1978 XS650 Special, which came with a mag wheel. I don't care for the mag so I want a spoked wheel replacement. Useable condition please. :D

I have a 1978 XS650 Special. I am purchasing the weld on Brat kit from Monstercraftsmen and I want to get rid of some of the wiring clutter. I have the aftermarket regulator/rectifier. Also Pamco Electronic Ignition. I want to keep the electric start. Is there a diagram for running this and only...

I plan on changing out my CV38 carbs for aftermarket carbs. I know there are some cheapos out there but I want the best, most reliable because I am frankly tired of constantly adjusting, swapping jets, etc on my 1975 XS650B 38s. I know I will have to fine tune the new carbs but, who has good...

I have a 1975 XS650 and a 1978 XS650 Special. Are these BS38 and BS34's? Can I swap the carbs on my 1978 XS650 to the 1975 XS650? The '78 runs great and the '75 carbs are a pain to try to synch, with the 2 throttle cable connections. I have a second set of carbs from a '78 complete with carb...

I have 2 issues. First off, my 1975 XS650 is fouling plugs. The plugs have a black, oily residue and do not smell like gas. The entire engine was rebuilt by a seasoned mechanic so everything is new inside. It runs great, just fouls plugs. Could my valves need adjusting? Then when I ride for a...

I just bought a 1978 XS650 Special with 20,000 miles on it. It wouldnt start when I first got it. I cleaned the carbs, put new gas in and installed new MikesXS pod air filters and she fired up on the 4th kick (electric starter doesnt work at all). As I let her warm up I noticed the left exhaust...
