    Wanted - Extended swingarm 72 XS

    I'm looking for a two inch extended swingarm for my 1972 XS 650. But I want to keep the shock mounts in a relative position like the originals so I can use the new shocks I already bought. Or anybody on here that can build me one? Jack Jack@DrofBBQ.com

    front disc brake problem

    Scott, Your post came after I had already glued it with Gorilla glue. It has dried over night and seems to be stuck pretty tight. But I like Loctite products a lot. Thanks Jack

    front disc brake problem

    Well I finally went to see a friend at an auto body shop and after looking at it for a minute he went over to a massive pile of nuts, bolts, washers, and screws and pulled out a 2 inch by 1 1/2 inch square of rubber just a little thicker than the original. WOW, so I'm going to use my air grinder...

    front disc brake problem

    Working on my 72 XS and I had the bracket disc bead blasted and forgot to ask that the small rubber cushion be covered up so one is gone completely and I can't seem to find one.

    Custom Aluminum Steering Damper for 70-73 XS1 XS1B XS2 TX650

    You know what makes that more funny to someone from the Midwest? Very few people around here knew what brisket was until I started selling it. The first thing some one from the Midwest thinks when they hear brisket is cornbeef and cabbage. Here Ribs and Smoked Pulled Pork outsells brisket 5 to...

    How to Polish Your Valve Covers

    Well I'll try the shower curtain thing for now. And my wheels are from Caswell so they should be ok. I'll build a fixture to hang the curtain from tomorrow and go buy a curtain. It'll look pretty geeky but as long as it does the job I guess. Maybe someone else will come up with a better idea...

    How to Polish Your Valve Covers

    So how do I set this up so it's a really easy clean up. And of course I don't mean every day but say every few months or so? There has to be a way? Especially with as many bright minds as then forum has on it. Jack

    How to Polish Your Valve Covers

    I just bought a Caswell 3/4 HP buffer. It should be here tomorrow. But I use my hand buffer ( Dewalt 9'' ) all the time on restaurant equipment so I know how dirty an area can get around buffing. I'd like to put something on the wall behind my buffer that I can clean. Otherwise I'll end up with...

    Custom Aluminum Steering Damper for 70-73 XS1 XS1B XS2 TX650

    Geez first of all they look great as is. More importantly this is a great project that a fellow member worked his ass off on. I think your being unfair both to the original idea, (mine) and to Steve. It's not like the bike won't run, or handle well with these units. It's just that when you buy...
