It has been brought to my attention, which could have been done privately but it wasn't, that my porting numbers were off which I truly had no idea they were inflated. When I first started my porting adventure I searched the web for a porter to flow my work and I found a guy who became a very...
If you wanted to extend the cam chain by one link,how much would it extend the chain as I'm a little confused as where to measure or calculate. I'm wanting to use 533 JE pistons for my Cr500 long rods and the differences in length is .159 to raise the cylinder block.

Found some of Petes early 277 ignition schematics,for some who understands electronics this might be
useful. Posting a links of the original thread to follow along and list of parts need at the very end.
What the 277 points ignition looks like competed and to prolong points life I would suggest using the
Dyna points booster or Mr.Riggs trick posted on this forum somewhere.
Anybody here ever try the RaceTech emulators setup? Even these modern forks with all their adjustments
need internal mods to perform right and the cost can really skyrocket. I just need to be able to fine tune
the front suspension with the rear R6 shock i'm using.
I plan on swapping a Xs into a Z650 0r Kz650( are they both the same:umm:) if I can score one this coming year with intensions of swapping out the front forks and swing arm. While searching for a doable S/A swap

Does anyone by any chance have one of these heads tucked away on your shelf ? Would like to get some

I'm retired this year and now that I'm have some spare time I need to start working on my D port intakes.
I have two options here,one is to use JB weld to build up the floor which will be anchored with a T-bolt system along with either aluminum mesh or fiber and I've used this in the past but...
Craig Weeks, What mm sizes can one get the intakes? I want 44mm intakes and if a no go, who do you recommend in turning some down,been looking at some Ducati 1000ss valves that look promising,just gotta locate their height dimensions.

Heard through the grapevine that Gary from Hoos Racing will be hanging the hat up for retirement and that day when it comes will be a sad one for XS community,( Gary sells top quality parts not like some) as Probe ignition is calling it quits and 650 Central might be in the same boat if no ones...
Anyone using the Megacycle cam 250-00 or MikesXS knock-off version? Would like to know where the power comes it at, what RPM's the power drops off ,etc.
There's a gentleman on E bay offering a XS head complete with porting and unless you have money to throw away,steer away,cuz you'll get absolutely zip for performance. His #s fall short in comparison to a stock head and that alone is a cause for red flags. His porting skills of the XS ports...
Been searching for mufflers for my re-phased project and I really like how far these extend back to the back wheel and they sound great from all the other re-phased engines I've listened to. Anyone recognize these mufflers:confused:
