    Wanted - Stock Special headers

    Stock special headpipes are not seperate and have a taper where they transition to the mufflers. Hard to make a decent job of welding something to the hacked off headpipes. Save your money and do it right.

    Camshaft Comparisons (virtual)

    Computer/Internet Dreaming on bench racing without any Dyno testing is only guess work. The project should be how to make real power with the least modifications and the least or lowest amounts of cash. There is hardly anyone track racing and components of the past are almost non-existant not to...

    Mikes XS bore kit

    Big block kits we sold all have pistons that are with in 2 ten thousands of an inch of each other. China and Japan all use the best German and Japanese CNC machinery now so I would worry only if the parts are made and finished in the UK or North America. The only thing to be checked is the ring...

    Spokes person?

    I agree with Mr. Cameron. When I got into stainless spokes I found building wheels was a lot more complicated than first appears. My first purchase was 1 million stainless spokes and we built a rim drilling machine plus a machine to roll the threads. It's a slow process . The Europeans have a...

    Yamaha part number break down

    Note: On model code - Every time Yamaha uses a part ( the same part ) on a different bike they give the item a new part number . One part can end up with 50-60 different numbers. Yamaha is very secretive about their numbers and seldom gives a cross reference. Also prices are substantially...

    Tire manufacture date - how important?

    So you want a cheap price, a certain age & some kind of guarantee ? You should buy tires in person or the shop should just refuse your order. There is little profit in tires. As long as they have been out of the sun there will be no problem. The only trouble you have is yourself.

    1980 XS650 inherited project

    Note: In Europe they have longer rear fenders and when the bike has it's annual inspection some countries actually check that the length is correct. For some reason rear fenders do not seem to last long there. Joe

    Crabby's Build

    5 Twins - What you say about choppy air is BS , There is no restriction with the XS Pods. Mike say's he was one of the first distributors of the UNI's back when they all came from Australia. Uni's are good but if you ever get a backfire they go up and melt in about 1 second...
