Congrats Kups650 & Yamasandwich!!!.... Lucky (and deserving) bastards :)

I need my boy to stop asking me is your bike broken why is it so quiet? Please kind gents send the Pipes our way!!! Thanks fellas!!

...sorry heres a bigger picture (i hope)

I removed the stock taillight. Then I trimmed the fat around the edges of the bracket (to match the contour of the Model A taillight). And then welded the taillight to the stock bracket. Picture doesn't do it justice (to me). Maybe you could do something similar with a Model T taillight...

You gotter Pamcopete. So far anyway, replaced the headlight and all seems right in the world again. Thanks!

very cool

yeah, I was kinda thinkin' that'd be the best bet. Thanks

Sorry guys just to clarify... 552 or 522? I am having a similar problem, I switched from the stock turn signals to some hong kong mini bullet signal lights (not led). When I turned the bike on to check to see if the signal lights are working each one just stays on solid. So should I give...

After I replaced the plugs, I went around the block pulled the plugs out and sure enough on the new plugs the one on the left was starting to...

Hello everybody. I purchased a 1978 xs650 this Friday. I rode it home, it was about a 130km or 80 miles from home.... I was told the carbs were recently cleaned, and a new battery was also recently replaced... After I took the bike out for a bit, money was exchanged, the bike plated and I hit...
