Gary stopped by Monday to help me clean up the barn,eat lunch al fresco, and pick up some spares and salvage for his trouble. He did a marvelous job. Just to give an idea of how bad things had gotten in the Barn of Disgrace, I hadn't seen the floor for months. He took the XS650 out for a spin to...

Black rattle can paint under 2-part epoxy clear--fuel proof finish. I used this tank for a few years on my D, then decided I liked the look and range of the Standard tank better. There are no visible lumps, bumps, or ripples, and only one small fill with USC All Metal aluminum filler. Inside is...

Tour Master mesh pants, 32-34 waist, labeled "Mens medium tall." Huh?! The inseam measures 32" by my tape. Armor in seat, at hips, and at knees. Carefully hand washed and ready to wear. As before, payment by paper via snail mail, no trades or offers accepted, ad comes down in10 days if no sale...

Jacket is size XL, but that's deceptive. Fits my slender 5'8" wife, and my guess is that it wouldn't be comfortable for anyone with larger than 34" waist. Carefully hand washed, but still shows lightly stained collar and a few black spots from road spatter; see pics. Armored at back, shoulders...

Matching head and cover from '83 Heritage Special, will fit all 447 engines but hole in camshaft may need to be cleaned up if cam shaft driven ignition is installed. R intake valve removed for guide clearance inspection bagged sparately with springs and cap; didn't have new clips, old ones...

We're into the heavy stuff now. Two salvage 447 cranks, both missing left outside race, more runout than I like to see, rod clearance well outside spec., don't like the looks of the rod small ends. These are cores to rebuild, not usable assemblies. If you're doing a real build (as opposed to a...

There's no mystery as to what's in the box: two 18x2.15 dog pee catcher OE aluminum rear rims, straight but with typical battle scars on the flanges, and a pair of blue 77 frame covers, straight with original but flawed paint and graphics and minor corrosion where you'd expect to find it...

Transmission prior to late '77; only one gear has a single mark, identifying the source as earlier 447 (don't lets get into that trans identity thing!). Pulled it from a dead C IIRC. Anyway, gears and dogs look good and bearings look good. It will work just fine in any 447 case. Shift shaft...

Pretty picture, ain't it? A good length of genuine Tygon ethanol resistant fuel line, a new brass T and a new brass elbow to route it, assorted aftermarket petcocks, held when stored but not currently tested (yeah, I know, heard all that before), home made petcock adapters and block off plates...

Pipes are 1-5/8" OD, 1-1/2: ID, 35" valve to exit on the center line.Torque peak optimizers from MMM at 650 Central at the exits, held in place the right way with set screws, not welded. Don't like 'em? Heat the screws to release the thread lock, twist 'em out, fire the motor, and the TPOs...

Title says it.

Didn't like commercial leak down testers; they were either grossly overpriced or too cheap to trust, and I didn't care for the lack of filtration on all of them. So I made my own. The tester is based on a Sears regulator-filter unit. Is it ugly and bulky?Yeah. Does it yield as clean, accurate...

When it comes to seeing and being seen on the road, I'm on board with Goethe when he spoke his last words: "More light!" Nonetheless, there are those among us who seek authenticity over function. For sale is a pair of OE XS650 Koito tungsten filament sealed beam headlights. Both have been...

1. 12" quality digital caliper. If you buy it and you'll wonder how you managed to do without one for so long. Close it, zero the display,open it all the way, close it again, and the display will read .0012". ~.001" error extreme to extreme and back on a 12" instrument--doesn't get a lot better...

Finally got tired of undersized thin paper things that look kinda like intake gaskets, so I got the cure and am passing it on: the Allpax kit cuts clean, precise round holes in gasket material, 2 cheap punches are included for small fastener holes, and there's a 14"x19" sheet of .060" thick...

Domi-Racer is no more and there won't be any more of their fine aluminum degree wheels. Use it if you have knowhow and need or hang it on the wall to kindle memories of a misspent youth (or construct a fantasy of the one that might have been...). The lever action DTI isn't pro grade, but it...

Time to offer y'all some fine stuff. Folks, in my little world it isn't "vintage" unless it got from a grape vine to a wine bottle. But if that degree wheel was wine, it would be a fine variety that aged beautifully. Domi-Racer has been gone for years and there won't be any more of these ever...

F-crimp wire connector tool, assorted F-crimp connectors and vinyl insulators, compact "vintage" Lockhart oil cooler in clean, unused, new condition. Payment by mailed check only, ad comes down in 10 days if unsold, no reductions will be made, no trades, or lowball offers accepted. My shipped...

$65 shipped CONUS, Acewell 2853-AB-Plus, new in box. Bought in anticipation of long term need which will not arise (no long term to my riding days, hanging up helmet next season at latest). Photo shows similar instrument mounted, working perfectly since 2007. Accessory Hall effect speedo cable...
