    Brake m/c swap when ditching buckhorns for euros

    The m/c that comes on buckhorn bar equipped bikes is apparently designed specifically for said buckhorns. I got some euros to replace the b/h's and the m/c res is not even remotely level, it is running downhill at an extreme angle. What m/c's did any of you who tossed the buckhorns swap to to...

    Gary Poh wide tire kit? He not doing them anymore?

    I contacted him thru his site but haven't heard back. Does he no longer offer the kits he was making? If not I guess I'll give Sprocket Specialists a shout.

    UK folks, familiar with Dragon Soul Studio?

    I'm strongly considering buying one of their springers for my bobber build. Any of you across the pond familiar with them? https://www.dragonsoulcustom.co.uk/product-page/custom-classic-springer-front-end

    What's everyone paying for mount and balance?

    Shop just down the street quoted me 52.00+tax to mount/balance a 90/90/21 if I bring my own tube. Is this normal? That is me bringing in the rim off the bike. And that is no dismount, just mount/balance.

    Sold / Found / Inactive - 1981 XS650 rolling chassis, complete, with title

    I guess there is no love locally for these, so I'll put it here. I bought the bike strictly for the motor for my bobber project. You could literally bolt in another motor, swap out the left side control switch on the handlebar with the new one included with the bike, get some manner of lenses...

    Anyone used Outex?

    I'm considering going tubeless in front. Outex seems like a good way to accomplish the goal. My rear wheel is already sealed from the manufacturer so I don't have to worry with it. Any experience here with this?

    My bobber build

    I know there isn't a lot of love here for bobbers, especially a fat rear tire bobber, but how boring would life be we all liked the same things. My first bike ever was an '81 XS650 Special-II. At least I'm not chopping up an otherwise good bike. Frame was custom ordered from Cycle One Mfg in OK...

    What's it worth? '81 flat tracker

    Just got home with this an hour ago. I bought it for the motor to use in my bobber. My custom frame should be here this week or next. So what I want to know is what is this worth, minus the motor. Supposedly a 2 owner bike. Guy I got it from attempted to make it street legal. Tires are supposed...

    Motorcycle jack or full platform lift?

    I'm soon to begin building an XS650 based bobber. (purists relax, I'm not hacking up a good bike, using a Cycle One custom frame and all new everything else) Those of you with multiple builds under your belt.....would you go with a simple jack or full platform lift? In a perfect world I suppose...
