The only problem I see with that one, for $100, is it's a heritage. That means it's got the wonky rims. On the other hand, I'd probably replace them anyway. I'd say it's a good deal

It might be a start on a spare engine. Or a way to explore a performance build without committing your "good" engine. If it were closer, I'd offer him $100 for just the bike. I figure I could recoup most of that selling of the pieces. Kick start lever, shifter, maybe foot pegs, head pipes,etc.

That's all relative. Yes, 40 year old XS650's are worth more than they were 15 years ago, they still aren't worth much. A bike thief is gonna go down the street to steal something he wants or can sell. Something popular. Something expensive. I'm way more worried about my late model Triumph...

I removed the keyed ignition switch on my streettracker. (See the December page of the new calendar 😁) Replaced it with a hidden toggle switch. I figured most bike thieves are not looking to steal a one off, 40 year old bike and if they were, they don't know where the switch is, lol.

If you were 1500 miles closer I might be interested 👍

Saw this on Facebook, listing included this YouTube link. Price seems right, looks pretty good. https://m.facebook.com/groups/472448339839168/permalink/1662762600807730/?sfnsn=mo&ref=share&mibextid=VhDh1V Not mine, don't know the seller...

JIS screwdrivers will fix the "soft Japanese" Philip screw problem. They aren't soft, we've been using the wrong screwdrivers to work on our bikes for decades!

It's finally Jan 1st and I can hang my calendar!! (I know I could have but I liked savoring the anticipation! Ha ha!)

Every one of those guys I've ever known seemed highly... competent. Like they were the "go to" guys if the chips were down. If somethin bad happens, that's who you want to be standing next to.

I'm in the same boat. Saving up for a TIG welder so I can fix it

Wow that's riding weather compared to here! (N Ark) It's 11° this evening

I worked line maintenance for Continental Airlines for a while. Working graveyards, had to change a starter on a DC9 in a HARD downpour. 36° and heavy rain, with the wind whipping around, is pretty uncomfortable. Like you said, a lot of it requires no gloves. We could only go about 15-20 mins at...

It's currently 2° in North Arkansas after an overnight low of -2. Grateful we only got about an inch of snow! Pic from around midnight.

Been there! On a similar note, it's also shocking how fast you can drill a hole in yourself!

Oven roasted cerakote?

Yes mine was too far advanced. Ran great, started easy, burned holes, ha ha

I found out the hard way that a timing light is crucial and correct timing is more important than just how it starts or sounds.

Thank you for the points covers! They were exactly as described! Appreciate the quick shipping too! Buy with confidence, great seller!

Thank you for making it happen 👍
