Just to update my thread- I have nearly completed the mods I wanted for my bike - just the seat to go (I have a spare seat now to chop smaller to fit the frame rear kick up) - my intention was to only modify the bike lightly and not make any permanent changes so I can a Always return the bike to...

Update and I have managed to buy a set from a UK seller - so back up and running, he also has another one with just a cracked glass so I have bought that as well for the dial face Happy days 😁

Thank you - I have read them both very informative, I am probably going to try both avenues - look for a pre owned one on eBay etc and also strip mine down and look to repair the plate or I may be able to source something similar and then replace the decal, with probably do the speedometer at...

Hi all - my amber indicator lens fell out of my Rev counter so I went to glue it back in place and during the process heard a ‘crack’ - turning over the gauge to my horror the dial has cracked, from looking at the other threads it seems you need to pry open the crimped case to access - does...

The LF1-S-FLAT relay is meant to be an electronic relay - I got the part number from other posts in the forum - maybe mine is bad ? Not sure how to test it ?

Hi all - I am slowly building my street trail bike and want to change the indicators (blinkers) to LED type - from reading the forum there is a lot of information about fitting a new flasher relay, fitting either blown bulbs or diodes for the indicator light in the clock - some of the info seems...

Thanks - yes looks like a DT400 tank but modified - will have to rethink maybe as I don’t have the skills to do that ☹️

Hi - I am slowly gathering the parts for my longer term Tracker project and I am looking at fuel tanks - Would anyone be able to identify this one as I like the size and look of the tank. Thanks Andy

Hi As I collect parts for my Tracker build project - can anyone identify this tank ? thanks Andy

I think they also do a 3.50 x 19 front will take a look as wider is my preference

Cheers will do some more reading 👍 - that’s a very cool looking build 10/10 👍👍

I am making a list of the items to change / Upgrade on my XS2 - first decision is Tyre‘s - currently have 4.10 x 19 on the front and 4.15 x 18 on the rear - having searched and read other post on tyre size I don’t see any other bikes with this size on the front ? I am looking at fitting...

This is my inspiration

Having just bought a complete and original XS-2 in fantastic condition, I have gone and bought another one to convert into a flat tracker 😁 This will be a longer term project as I want to do a few mods to my XS2 first (cosmetic bolt on goodies ) - This new one is not a looker but has a great...

Looking good, Not looked at the brakes in detail yet, but they do work and are not binding at all which is a good news, - will change the pads/shoes when I remove the wheels for new tyres - good to know another Brit with a XS2 👍

If anyone in the UK has a battery box to air filter fitting going spare it’s the only part I can’t find ! - maybe it fell off when I towed the bike home ? like this one buy L/H side 🙏 (I made a temporary bracket)

Thanks all - so today I recommissioned the bike, cleaned the carbs and tank, checked for spark and found only the L/H plug was sparking - no spark R/H side, checked the point and no spark either, traced the wiring back and found a dirty/dry bullet connection cleaned them all up and sprayed with...

Currently have 1 other bike which is my 2023 Triumph Scrambler 900 - a great bike for street riding around my local area Cheshire and the Peak District - recently retired so now have time for some projects, have had a few bikes over the last few years including several Honda Transalp’s (600 &...

Yes no sign of any rust at all - the more I look at it the happier I am 👍

Hi all Just purchased a 1972 XS650 in the UK from an ‘older gentleman’ who lost interest in the bike after buying it during Covid lockdown from a importer of US bikes - it is in very nice condition but has not run for 18 months due to a fuel issue which he said said been fixed, but he had not...
