Hi guys
I bought an xs from a guy about 6 years ago, and hardly touched it.
I had 6or 7 two strokes that I fiddled with and raced.
Eventually had to sell everything :-(
Went back to the guy I sold the xs to, and he sold it back about 6 months ago.
Had always been difficult to start, and the starting rollers at the track days was the only real chance.
Always knew it was something special with the halco tuning badge.
Decided to build a cafe racer, so for the first time ( in my hands ) the motor came out.
Careful measurements tell us 95mm stroke and 87.5 pistons.
The motor was done in Johannesburg by a guy who would fly to halco in the uk with cranks in his hand luggage!!
I'm now going to try post pics..
