My craigslist posting includes info and pics: http://albany.craigslist.org/mpo/4406492233.html I really just need the stuff gone. I'm moving in a few weeks after I graduate college and I don't have much free time until then. I'm pretty flexible, the one thing I have to insist is the stuff...

Hey everyone, I'm getting rid of the last of my XS stuff. College and other projects take up too much time and money so I'll probably be off of two wheels for now. Here's the contents of my CL ad: Have enough four wheel projects for some time, getting out of the motorcycle game for a...

Hey all, With great regret I'm listing my cafe project for a quick sale. An opportunity to buy one of my dream cars came up and it's far rarer than XSs. I have a rebuilt engine, titled frame, clean wire spokes, and lots of brand new parts. More than enough stuff to build the bike and then...

I'm considering making the jump over to Guzzis or Triumphs and trying to buy a running and driving bike (in college and really shouldn't be spending the time and money on projects). So I thought I would see how easy and profitable it would be to move my XS stuff. Like I said, I'm not committed...

No title, just over 6000 miles, located in western New Hampshire, off of 91. From what I know of it, was owned by a guy who joined the Air Force and put it away. Previous owner bought it as a barn find but it had low compression so he started to tear down the top end of the motor, took off the...

Apparently this place is near Ottawa if anyone wants to go check it out. Edit: Typo in the title, supposed to be 'someone go save those poor bikes'

Some decent spokes off of an 81. Front rim has pretty bad surface rust on the spokes, light surface rust on the rim. Rear has light surface rust all over. Both would clean up quite nicely. $200obo plus shipping. Pics coming tomorrow.

I've heard of a couple, can any of you recommend one as good as XS650.com? :)

I won't have my bike on the road for this but I thought I'd mention it in case any of my fellow Northeasterners were interested. Looks like a good time, beautiful riding, and the price is right. Event Page

He's trying to test the CDI and the pickup coil, having a bear of a time. Is it the same process as an XS? The online community for these doesn't nearly compare with the XS and he's had no luck on those forums. I told him to get an XS but he's a short guy and he thought it'd be too tall.

Partial list: Mag Rims ($100 for set) Brand new turn signals from mikesxs (#11-2186, $15 each) Used turn signals - varying conditions (price depends on condition) New header pipes from mikesxs (SOLD) Stock swingarms ($40) Some front and rear shocks (fronts $20/per, rears $10/per. rears have...

I'm designing my rear sets, hoping to finalize by the weekend and start machining them. The first design I'm working on will be as cheap as possible, reusing as many stock components as possible (pegs, for example) and keeping the machining simple. Right now my bike is in pieces and I'm not...

I've seen a couple of Yamahas that have modified side cases with a hole and glass/plexiglass over the clutch. Is there a how to somewhere around here? Are people selling them? My search fu failed me and I think it would be a sick thing to do.

I'm thinking about picking up a cheap beater bike to ride while I do my cafe project, but also something that I can do a stylish hardtail with after the cafe project. My old man is a huge Guzzi guy so I've always liked the Honda CX500s and they can be had for real short money. Anyone have...

Do the 16" and 18" rear spoke wheels use the same drum brake hub?

Hey team XS, Can anyone tell me about performance characteristics of the Firestone/Shinko classic zig zag tread tires? (Coker link) I see that there are a lot on bobber/chopper bikes but I didn't find as many pics of them on cafes. I'm building a cafe bike but until I do performance mods to...

I have a bookmark folder of all my favorite MC blogs, etc. I'm sure that many of you have heard of many of them but I thought I'd put them up for those that hadn't. I'd also love to hear about any sites that you guys check in on regularly so this might be a nice gathering place for site...

So I took all the entries in the XS650 Travel Assistance Thread and put them in a Google Map. Link: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=214301583477207029771.0004a31da0da75c2abfcf&ll=38.891033,-82.177734&spn=51.00565,114.169922&z=4 This is only viewable to people who click...

I would like to make X75 Hurricane-like sheet metal for my cafe (Pic). I was going to model it in CAD, cut it into manageable sized pieces (I want exposed rivets anyway) then section my models and make wood molds/templates for the maybe 3 or 4 pieces on each side and start hammering aluminum...

I grew up in Vermont, living now in New Hampshire, spend a lot of time in midcoast Maine, I went to school in Massachusetts, and now I go to school in the Albany area of New York. Anyone else from this little corner of paradise? (Nvm one of the shortest riding seasons in the country :banghead:)
