Idaho's annual vintage motorcycle show was on display today (http://www.idahovintagemotorcycleclub.org/). Some fantastic bikes were on display this year. I shot a couple of photos and thought I would share a couple. Here are a couple xs'.

Hi. Had this piece of swing arm from the E-bay some time ago. Now I´m about to freshen it up a bit. First of all the "blue flame" take care of the old bushings. Comes out real easy after some "barbeque". The inner tube looks to be in bad shape, at least the outside of it. Now there...

Hi guys!! In a few threads I´ve been suggesting to use a 18" cast front rim from xs 400, for those who want´s a bigger rear wheel. Just the other days I suddenly realized the spokes on the 400 rim are about 5mm thinner compared to a 650 rim. Have no idea if it matter but I´ll keep...

Hey. After first upstart since re-build, my tracker acts funny. Haven´t looked into it that much yet but I´ve made two difference since before and that´s to plug off the vacuum connection between petcock/carbs and got rid of the stuffing inside the mufflers = straight pipes. The...

I'm gonna be doing some welding and this bracket is in the way, I don't mind keeping it if it's important. Does anyone know why it's there? Seems like I should know that right? Well the bike was sold to me in parts, and I've never seen it together. Also, you might be wondering...

I ride my xs to work every day and needed a little storage. I didn't want anything too large- just big enough to fit a few tools and a backpack- I had an old ammo can laying around the garage and I wanted to fix it on the back. I went to the local dump and picked up an old exercise machine...

If so, is there a thread online that discusses it in more detail? http://www.xs650chopper.com/2009/01/hans-from-holland-the-yokohama-customshows-1/ It's the white one, beach-cruider style three up from the bottom. Thanks!

Hi All. I thought I would share the build photos of my latest project... Its an 82 Heritage. I stripped it down to the frame and have been rebuilding it over the winter. Its nearly there. Maybe a couple of weekends and it will be ready for the spring. I am a undecided which way to go on the...

Ok, so am getting to the wiring stage of my build, so my life for the past month has revolved around deciphering the spaghetti that is the wiring harness. I've recolored the 82 XS650 schematic, and made it a PDF so you can zoom in. So if anybody wants it, shoot me a PM. It looks like this...

Here are a few pics of my bike coming along nicely just painted the street tracker seat/fender combo.In these shots welding the brackets for seat and fender This baby is gonna be done in time for spring! Steve

Picked up a roller today, i'm usually not a fan of long bikes but for 100 bucks i couldnt pass this up. the frame actually looks good, everything has been smoothed and molded, too bad it still has shocks, if i keep it i will hardtail it. Which brings me to my question, there are plenty of xs...

Ive come to the point in my build where I need to make a choice on what gas tank I wanna run. I like the look of the Axed 2.2 gallon tank from www.lowbrowcustoms.com Anyone run this tank? And if so, how far can I expect to go on 2.2 gallons of fuel. Im relatively new to the XS so I dont know...

I'll be home sooner with this shortcut!! :yikes:

Added a new ride to the stable. It is an 86 Goldwing Aspencade with a California Friendship III sidehack. Been looking for a sidecar setup for my son for over a year now, and found this one at a price that was too good to pass up! Hit 52 here in MN sunday so I took it out for a spin...

I just started a Facebook page that kind of ties into my moto blog. Anyone else have a moto-specific Facebook page or blog up. I've been finding lots of good ones these days. Ahh technology. My FB page is: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Classified-Moto/169409986438309 Blog is...

Hi. So I got this handlebars from a speedway bike on a local swapmeet this weekend. Just for fun....it was cheap. Now I think it would be cool running around with this handlebar saying -"Hey, this is a REAL speedway handlebar"- Only problem is that this bars are out of line as long as...
