Guys running fiberglass tanks, what did you seal your tank with? I'm looking at the Caswell 2 part Epoxy right now. Haven't seen any horror stories as I have with Kreem, but I'm not repairing I just want to build strength against ethanol weakening the glass inside the tank.

I am pumped today. Drinking My coffee, about to head out to the shop to reassemble My 79 XS 650. This is a bike I bought last month, already under construction. The PO had powdercoated the frame, and added a fg tail/seat section. Stock motor, no air filters. I powdercoated the lower fork legs...

Ivan Hoey of Australia has 1 set of these gears left in stock, he is looking at getting another batch of 10 made soon if enough interest is shown. They are an exact copy of the Halco primary gears, originally designed for sidecarcross. (approx. 20% increased clutch speed) These primary gears...

Hello. According to the former owner of my tracker the bike is equipped with a warninglamp for low oilpressure. Now the problem is that the lamp doesn´t work. It should glow for a sec when you start up the engine but it don´t. Checked it and it´s not broken! When reading the manual...

Looking to do a budget scrambler build and while the XS's (kinda a duh) are near the top of the candidate list I'm wondering what other bikes I should be keeping and eye out for. In town street 50%, dirt and gravel 30%, remaining 20% highway. LK

Hello Just laid hands on my new bike. It´s a -81 XS in Flattrack dress with a 750 BigBore kit on. Lot´s of fun. First thing to do was to change the oil and opppssss.........the oil was really old and both filters where full of "not so good stuff":bike: So now I´m waiting for new...

Found here: http://www.buildabikeinc.com/ anyone use this setup? heard anything about the company? It seems like the look I am going for, just wondering about tone and power gains if any. And yes, I have looked over the Omars setups, they are very nice and would probably be my next...

I've been looking at seat options for the upcoming tracker build and have a couple thoughts. I see many nice seats for the solo rider but I'm gonna need to have the capability to haul 2 people on this bike. Not often and none of the passengers will be very big but I'll need to haul 2 never the...
