I've been wanting to try flat track racing for a while, I love the feeling of sliding around a corner. I've never raced before, just trail riding and stuff since I was 8. and street since 17. I was thinking a tt500 might be a good bike from what I've read. It seems to be a popular flat...

Anyone else drooling over this? When I first heard of the release of the FTR750 race only bike I couldn't wait to see if they would bring something similar to the street. Obviously its not related to that motor but if the production model keeps the weight down and chromo tube frame it should...

I'm working on swapping out forks to CBR F4i 43mm forks. F4i forks are readily available, they are lighter, stiffer and are cartridge forks instead of dampening rods. I have been working on cross referencing stuff for a while now. And would like to make another post with all the info I've...

I know its not ground breaking stuff (got all my info from mrriggs on this thread) http://xs650temp.proboards.com/thread/7899/19-junkyard-electronic-ignition Thought I would post my progress for my HEI ignition anyway. I ran the TCI for a good 3 years then it burned up and I burned another...

...A 20 fl. Oz. Aquafina bottle has the same thread pitch as the oil fill cap. I.couldn't find my funnel I use for an oil change so I used this water bottle that was in the trash and the thing threaded right in. Makes a nice funnel that won't move around.

Hey guys, I saw a thread that had all the lengths and amount of bolts that are used for the left and right side engine covers but can't find it... Anyone have thelink or info? Thanks

Here are some pics from when I was riding around last april the day before I pulled the motor for a rebuild. Should be back on the road pretty soon.

Hey guys, I need the spacer that goes in between the nut/washer and the rotor, it covers the threads you use to pull the rotor off. I misplaced it when disassembling the motor. Figured some of you guys that switched to PMA might have one around. Let me know what you would want for it shipped...

Hey guys, I'm looking to buy a Remington 870 12 ga. barrel preferably 28" long but 26" or 30" will do as well. Let me know if ya got one and how much you would want for it. Thanks.

Hey guys, I am upgrading my transmission with the overdrive 5th gear. My motor is a 78' with some 82' parts. I had problems with popping out of 2nd and 5th so I bought a whole trans that I thought to be the late model transmission.* Went to put the 5th...

I am needing the following transmission gears or a complete transmission, depending on cost, for a late model 80's XS650. Doing an engine rebuild and my gears are worn out. - 3rd Pinion gear - 5th wheel gear - 2nd wheel gear Thanks

So I have been searching craigslist, looking at grainy pictures on eBay , called local salvage yards,called 650central, and not finding good condition transmission gears for an 80's transmission. Where would you guys find them or does anyone have some? Got everything else for my engine rebuild...

Hey guys, I have a late 78' motor I believe sitting in an 82' frame. It is set up as kick only and had the ignition unit from the 82 on it. The transmission has been popping out of 2nd and into neutral and is slipping in every gear in higher rpms. Its leaking oil like crazy now. It has been...
