    Electric vs Kick start

    I removed the entire starter motor and internal gearing when I stripped the motor. I also have a great electronic ignition system that gives a fat spark giving easy kick starting first time every time .

    Let's See The XS's

    My XS chop. Bought many moons ago and finally got her finished. Well enough to get on the road that is!! 1980 with weld on hardtail, minimal wiring, Pipes & Stuff ignition system with no battery. Still a work in progress but I like her and it makes me smile 😎

    Greetings

    That's the standard 19" XS rim laced to an old YZ motocross drum brake.

    Greetings

    Hi folks, just signed up after lurking around in the shadows for years and prompted by finally getting my bike almost ready for the road. Anyway here she is. 1980 vintage with hardtail of unknown origin, Pipes & Stuff ignition and battery free minimal wiring loom. Needs a top end rebuild...

    What have you done to your XS today?

    Today I started removing everything from engine in preparation of removal for top end overhaul. Valve stem seals are shot so may as well replace piston rings and hone barrels while I am in there.

    Bonjour. Mine has the standard 19" up front laced to an old YZ drum and the standard 16" rear which suits the hardtail style. I also like a 21" front on longer forked bikes.
