    Gauge bracket differences TX500 vs TX650

    My '74 TX650A is missing all rubber components and cracked through on the speedometer side. Alternate solution is to try my hand at aluminum brazing to "weld" the crack and fabricate my own retaining/dampening system. 650skull, what do you use to make your own dampening rubbers? I was...

    Gauge bracket differences TX500 vs TX650

    I just realized I've mistyped "gauge" in the title and it's impossible to edit. Well this '73 is the bracket I had in mind. Its new home would be on a '74 TX650A.

    Furious D - Where did you find a 100/90-19 Shinko 705?

    Could use help finding dual sport tires.

    What size Shinko 705 did you put on the front? My bike is a '74 TX650A that came to me with a 100/90-19 Kenda Challenger on the front. I'd like to keep using my stock fender and I like the look of the Shinko 705, but the closest size I've seen is 110/80-19. Will that work?

    You're not using the stock gauges and mounts, right? How damaged/rotted/corroded are they? Could I trouble you for some pictures and a shipping to texas quote? I have a '74 that's lost the speedometer rubber mount and is occasionally shorting out at the ignition.

    Looking for help ID'ing this bike

    The photo was taken by the guy who runs Blood Falcons at the 2014 Portland One Motorcycle Show. Can anyone tell me who made it or point me in the direction of more pictures? I figure the odds are good that the builder is a forum member or knows someone who is. Thanks.

    Free - Leftover Parts from 80 XS Special

    1980 Specials did NOT have wiring in the handlebars, correct? Do you have the left and right handlebar controls with wiring? I have a '74 TX650 that came with wiring inside the stock handlebars that I'm trying to convert to wire out controls.

    ok. I recently got a '74 TX650 also in the cinnamon brown. The high stock handlebars will be the first to go once I get her running. Good-looking bike you've built there.
