What a great gift!

Spring fever here so ordered some generic number plates and put them on.Been a back burner thought for a senior class flat track ride at Davenport or somewhere one day before I get to far into being a senior.lol.Hopefully the number plates fire me up to get back to finishing the original motor...

I agree.A true “Man of his Word.” I wanted to buy the front as well but he said you had wanted it. I surely had no qualms with that.Glad you got it. I too am impressed with XS650 Direct spokes and other parts.Fair prices,excellent prompt service.

After completing the 75b front end redo this close to riding season I didn’t want to remove,relace and redo the original rear wheel until winter. I had no worthy spares left and was able to purchase a worthy candidate 75b rear wheel from Halfmile.Quite a pleasure to speak to Phil and purchase...

Or Star Black.

The seat passenger strap always holds so much vital information.

A mutual agreement with Gaylene,we’re just going to keep this original 76f until I can lay down some Sulfur Yellow and finish the correct preservation of it.Have a 75 extra rear wheel from Phil on the way.🤝

I am unquestionably willing to help if needed.🖐️

Good to see you’re getting to start using Vango.Sure looks great.Enjoy 👍

Just crossed into Ohio on I80 traveling to Maine for a quick trip.Stopped to p and reply to a pm.Came back out and getting dark fast….Hmmm.At almost 65,my first eclipse experience.Cool.Turning light again.That wa quick.😅

Interested in 18”/75 rear wheel w/brake and 19”/75 rim.How far away from Lenexa KS.

Decided I better not try to sell this to the shark tank folks.🦈😂😂

Started in a dirt floor run down garage 50 plus years ago.Older now and get enjoyment out of digging through the “Why are you still saving this stuff bins?” as she puts it and making something simple & functional as I used to have to do rather than just go buy it.It’s therapeutic for sure.✍️🛠️😁

I gutted and modified a spare early master cylinder for gravity or air;line filling,brake & carb cleaner flushing etc.Banjo bolts and fittings repositioning as needed subsequent to trial and error as I go.Mounted bar on my test stand with a slight tilt forward just above approximate height of...

Thank you.Unsure of what’s next.Getting some comments from the house to finish the 76f and tell it goodbye.Lol.She may win!😂

A breezy 10 mile shakedown ride went smooth.No issues.Trying 11 1/2” aftermarket European style mirrors.So far so good. The helpful friends and threads here are priceless.Thank you.

I believe Mikes. I had no luck with it either. I cleaned the original guts and trying that route.

The hole in the small round very thin steel attachment provided to attach the rubber puck nipple easily to the spring in this particular kit seems unnecessarily to small IMO.Set a spare original master cylinder spring in a trusty old,easily bent cafeteria fork into a small vise as a starting...

Another wise tip found here for cleaning the bore.1/2 “dowel,1000’ w/d paper.Used on one just now.Works quite well.

Sooooooo thankful for the posts and threads like these. I read and re-read and even though I know that tiny relief port exists and needs to be clearly opened I almost had myself convinced it didn’t it was so plugged.Got it cleared now.
