Hello, actually wondering if anyone in Portland area would be interested in my 79. I have title. Hasn’t ran for a few years but has been under cover. Have custom leather seat, extra tank that’s been stripped, frame powder coated. Email me if you’re interested. I’m thinking 1500.00. More pix...

Looking for someone to wire my 79 xs and get it road ready. I'm stuck and don't have patience to finish on my own. Little help? Jason

When your brilliant like me and forget to properly document where things were and have a hard time grasping wiring schematics pictures help a lot! Any of you willing to take pictures of connection areas? Inside headlight, both sides of bike, under seat.... I bet if someone made a video on...

I know it's been discussed ad nauseam but.. In doing away with these items can I simply remove these wires or do other connections depend upon them, specifically the items mentioned. I have seen every wiring diagram available and wether it's to many blows to the head or simple stupidity it...

I posted this in "The Garage" also... I'm actually in Veneta. I have a titled bike with listed items, sold together. You pick it up. 450.00 or best offer. Thanks!

I bought a donor bike a few weeks ago, I've finished and and now have said items left over. Odometer shows 26k, engine has compression. Looks like previous owner was having some electrical issues. Side cover is included, just took it off to remove clutch cable. Again, has a title. Ball park on...

For my 78. I bought a sealed battery a few months ago that I thought matched up with the original but didn't seem to have enough juice, starter was working to hard. Also, does size matter? Can you buy a smaller bodied battery with more juice? Happy Friday!

after seeing some of the seat shops making pans out of ABS I thought I would give it a shot. I used butane torch to soften plastic to get bend, a table saw to notch, and a grinder clamped to bench for additional shaping. 1/4 was the thickest available. I used ABS adhesive to stick pieces...

... And will this combo work?

I picked up a 71 cb750 and was wondering if the master cylinder wil work on my 78 xs. This one is in much better shape aesthetically.

I'd like to run a 4.50 on the front to compliment the 5.00 on back. Anyone running a 4.50? For reference I found a picture of azcafe's bike, he's running 4.00 on his 18.

...what you buy or upgrade on your XS??

Apparently the screws are made of adamantium! The carnage.. Devil spawn.. There is part of an extractor broken off in the middle. You cant see it because the evilness has made it apart of its hoard of hardness. It's eating drill bits like crazy. Ideas?

I've tried so hard not to ask this dumb question.... What is "off" on the petcock. I was having problems with gas pouring out of filter until I did a thorough cleaning. While I was having that problem it didn't matter what I was turning petcock to, it would not stop supply from tank. Maybe I...

All electrical hooked up and ready to go, turned engine over... Sound like it wanted to catch but wouldn't. Then I see fuel pouring out. Broke down carbs today per "tech" section advice, which is awesome and invaluable! Here's what I found.. If I'm reading correctly, float bowls were probably...

Yes, I'm feeling foolish.. Yes this coupler has a home but I can't figure out where it's male counterpart is. I took pictures of everything I unplugged or took apart.. Or so I thought. What am I missing!. 1979 special. Thanks in advance!

Not a Yamaha nor mine... Just a pretty bike I was able to slobber on while at a business lunch..

How necessary are the air boxes on my 79? Can I just run filters off of the carb? Seems like standard air filter would be a more efficient setup as far as aesthetics and extra space..?

I have opportunity to buy 1979 650 special. He's asking 500, I'll offer 300.00. Hasn't run in 2 or so years. I'd like to use as a donor bike for my xs650. Would money be better spent on new parts? I need things like speedo, wiring harness, brakes.. Thoughts? Thanks

Yes, I know you dig the pants. What is year and model of bike? It was a friend of the families.
