I dropped the main jet down to 140 from 142.5. A little leaner made sense in my mind since the guy who had it before me is at sea level and I am almost 8000 feet. Looking at https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/air-altitude-density-volume-d_195.html the air density where I live is roughly 75% of...

Can I get a quote on that spoke front shipped to 80908? Thanks, Primo

What's that top clamp? If still available I'm interested.

Had a few minutes so I put in my ironhead fork springs. Getting them in was kicking my butt until I remembered I read somewhere that one of these speed ratchet things was the ticket. After 20 minutes of digging and 5 minutes of install they were done.

I've got some "thunder torque" inserts floating around here somewhere from a Harley project, maybe I'll throw those in. It just kills me, I can run a straight megaphone with no baffles on my green bike and have smooth power delivery but I'm struggling to get it right on this xs.

Plastic, I 3d printed and tested a bunch of configurations for fitment before I made the "final" out of steel. Even so I went through 3 steel versions and I might do a 4th. A couple of little things I can't decide if fixing will cause more issues or not.

So I threw some unipods on there I had laying around from my Triumph, after I cleaned and oiled them of course. Set the gap on the ap63s to .035, the ngks that were in there we at .028 and .025. Huge stumbling in the mid range, decent power at takeoff and high rpm at 3 on the needle. Moved...

Grab some steel plate and get to cutting! New mounts and you can put em where you like. I made mids out of mine...

I'm supposed to be working on my Applied Statistics for Behavioral Sciences class but I decided to tune a motorcycle instead. Which fun do I want to do more right now lol.

I put the the washer back in and now I have some stumbling at about 1/3 to 2/3 throttle. Low throttle and wot throttle both seem strong.

Ok then! Will be putting that guy back on. Tried an old dirt bike trick to clean the fouled plug and took it around the block. This bike is a lot of fun but a wee bit small for me.

Pulled the needle, finding a small enough snap ring plier was fun. Looks like it is on third slot with a shim. Removing the shim and putting it on 2.

So I pulled apart my carbs for a quick clean since I suspected the chunks coming from the gas tank may be causing issues. Currently it's jetted at 30 pilots and 142.5 mains. One float was a touch high so I reset that and now it doesn't leak. I fired it up and ran it down the road and...

Almost finished up my left side mid control. Then realized at dinner a better way to do a couple of things so I think I'm going to cut these TC bros universal forwards up a bit more tomorrow. I also continued to strip the spray paint off the engine. The right side is looking pretty good, this...

Drum, but after building my mid controls I realized the stock pivot won't work.

Anyone have a brake pivot they don't need? Let me know. --Primo

Been busy with irrigating the garden for my wife so I haven't had much time one the XS. Traded a buddy some parts for paint so that'll be exciting. Started stripping the spray paint off the engine. Other than that waiting on parts. I read on one of the forums that this bolt was 10mm x 1.25...

Sweet, ordered a set of pods. The bike runs, started second kick for few days then the right cylinder dropped out and I noticed gunk in the right fuel line and no inline filters. The other issue is the carbs seem to be leaking, I can't tell if it just accumulating at the float drain or leaking...

I made a new throttle cable today and realized the clutch and brake levers I have are triumph style so I had to order a different set of cable nipples. Next project is figuring out exactly what carbs I have so I can get the right kits for a rebuild.

I'm a special education teacher by day and earlier this year I found a 3d printer in storage at the school. I hadn't played with them before but we had a blast making student projects. I liked it so much I picked one up for home and man it makes prototyping parts so much easier. Starting in...
