I posted this question on the facebook group, but didn't get a response so I figured I'd pose it here as well. This past winter I striped my bike down to swap out the motor, powder the frame and overall tighten up the build a bit. I just finished getting the bike back together and all the...

So I was trying to solve the usual left side cover leak. I figured it was the pushrod seal so I replaced that, but the leak persisted. After pulling the cover off again I realized it was coming from the sprocket. The sprocket was super loose so I tighten it up and put the cover back on. I took...

I'm thinking about putting a front brake on my chop since it currently only has a rear drum. I've got a parts bike that I pulled a good lower with tabs and a seemingly straight rotor, but I still need a caliper, line for taller bars and a good lever preferably not a bulky stock Yamaha one. Let...

Hey guys hoping someone can give me some insight as to what is going on here so I can get this thing rolling today asap. Yesterday I pulled the clutch to replace a worn shift shaft. While in there I scotch brighted the plates and discs, replaced the springs, modded the bolts to allenheads and...

I'm hoping someone can give me an idea what's going on here, I've been searching for a while and come up with nothing. So I just got my chop running and have back making some trips around town and down the road testing out various things before I trust it on a longer run. Well I noticed a few...

I'm in need of a shift arm for my 650 since mine is completely worn smooth. I'll also take a good shift shaft if someone has one of those as well. I do have a donor motor to pull a good one, but if I don't have to do that I'd rather not. Lastly I'm going to need a clutch tool to remove all this...

I've got a few parts to unload to try to make up for my project that is over budget. If shipping isn't listed then it's included in the price. Pull back risers $20 Solid mount trees $40 These look to have some rake to them and accept 1/2" riser bolt. The chrome is pretty rough on the backside...

This winter I plan to pull the motor to at least do a topend rebuild, maybe more and will be striping the frame to paint/powder, but in the meantime I would like to ride and for it to look done before the snow flies. Would anyone have a recommendation on a good brush on paint I could use to hit...

Let me know if you've got one to sell. Found one.

Last night I tried to lace up a 21" DID rim with a dual disc XS hub and got to the last 2 spokes and could not get them. Some spokes line up well and have lots of play while others still have the nipple sticking out of the rim where it looks like they are hanging up. The first course of 9 on...

21" Metzler Marathon tire 21" Metzeler Marathon front tire, never run as far as I know, came with the project, still has the nubs on the sides $75 shipped

Anyone have an extra they don't need. I was welding the tank bungs into my frame and I got a bit too close to the threads on one. When I went to clean it w/ my shitty tap set, the threading got all messed up so I had to drill it completely out.

Hey guys I'm looks for a few opinions from the guys who really know the XS motor and what the regular weak points are to focus on. I really don't know much about it, when it last ran, the mileage, or general condition. This is a ground up build that some of you might have already seen on the...

Part 1 So to property kick off this build I need to tell the story first. So I'd been looking for an XS to chop for a while but was never too serious since I didn't have a good garage for it and I already had a bike I was throwing money at (07 Bonneville). All that changed when I recently bought...

Hey guys, I've been lurking for a long time just trying to learn as I'm about to start my xs chopper build. I'm a regular over at Chop Cult and go by Ato, but I figure I should actually introduce myself and start posting here and maybe start a build thread soon. Here's the project, xs650...
