tire

Hi all! So I picked up my first 1978 XS650 last month from the 2nd owner since its restoration. I had it delivered from south England to my house in Yorkshire, I was blind buying but I've been obsessed with XS650's for a few years and when this bike, built by Kuna Customs, came up for sale, I...

Hello, Bit of a newbie question but I recently bought an 1975 XS650B and subsequently discovered that the forks that were installed on the bike were XS400 forks, and totally don't fit the bike (the stem is too short). Because of this I've gone ahead and bought 34MM forks from a fellow forum...

I have a scissor jack for a car. That's about it. Is there any cheap, reliable way to jack the front of my bike up so I can change the front tire and bearings without knocking it over? :banghead: I'm sure this is kind of a dumb questions but I haven't really seen any good DIY solutions...

I realize now that on my 80 chopper with drag pipes, eventually I'm going to scrape. One option is get different pipes, some kind of high pipe set up, but I don't want to do that for $$ reasons, plus I'm pretty sure eventually I'd burn my leg. And even then, the kickstand would drag, I...
