Let's See The XS's

[motorbikerx]

Thanks mate! Ill have a good look later tonight, my engine number is in one of my early posts somewhere in here, it matches frame , that's normal isn't it?

SOSXS what are the front forks and swingarm off of?

Sorry for the delay. Work ii taking all my time right now.

The front forks, rear swing arm, shock and linkage, wheels, etc. are from a 1987 YZ125. Although, I have since picked up a 1989 YZ490 rolling chasis and I believe the the steering stem from the 490 would have been a much easier swap than the 125. Still going to try that and the YZ490 forks and shock will be used over the 125 as they have heavier springs.

Dale a tired physics teacher from eastern Wisconsin built this, met him while I was making a "pickers" run.
Mostly a 77 lots of "built it myself" in there too.

Hey Gary, very nice, is that tank stripe painted or is it a vinal tape, if so where did you get it?

SteveO That's not my bike, it belongs to Dale from Chilton. I blew up the original pic to look and I'm going to say it was painted (or at least cleared and sanded perfectly smooth).

A little elbow grease goes a long way on an old engine.

Ah, ok. Still a nice bike regardless.

Thank you! Yes I took them with my Canon T1i.

NOT MINE !! But nice.

This one was at the Minnesota Motorcycle show this past weekend at the Yamaha display. I like it. Check out the exhaust through the chin spoiler, and exiting out the sides. Check out the shaved upper triple tree.
