My turn

Reading through some older threads,found Glj’s and others positive comments on SCM complete XS-2 gasket sets that are still available.One set just arrived today.They look great,still pliable,promptly nicely packaged and shipped.Great price,just ordering a second set now to have for trial and error processes on the original 72 motor rebuild this winter.$28.98 to my door.The extra case and valve cover gaskets for this price definitely won’t go to waste and good to have on the shelf.

Hmmm.

Mt chair.Wind was a brutal down & back.Whew!A couple 72 parts acquired. I’ll take the truck & trailer next time and still come back with nothing I need..

Hmmm.

Knobbly, I like that. Ride might suffer tho,?

Surprisingly not much noticeable difference for the puttin around that I do.Initially I put it in on as a joke for some old hill climbing friends.Liked the look and it stayed.

Rear wheel splash guard cut.Initiated a 90• angle to begin.It will attach to the battery/electrical component plate. I use hanger lower stem cuts for forming desired accurate bends. I still use my old Airco torch head I got for an 8th grade graduation gift,it was used. I cherish it.No rose bud,no brazing tip,we’ve gotten to know each other well in 50 years plus.This particular plate needed a step up 3/8 or so & A lot more when I was 17-23,still duz if you’re gonna build it to spec or rock it.No debate.They’ll bust.

Working on making a seat for a Champion lazer style racing seat pan again.Made a couple in my teens,nothing fancy but were effective fit and function for the rider and the ride.Fast forward to today. I spoke with Dave Keil,owner of KE Motosports,Reno,NV this afternoon.A quick laugh and an old yep,l don’t have a lot of those perfect Champion seats left to sell either. “I’ll get a few again for stock,someday..

She might have the right idea.All the heat colors are kinda pretty.Maybe try grinding and dressing up and clear it.Hmmm,worth a try.Lol

Or at least do it her idea and leave it for a while so she sees I tried.

Is there a right or wrong of canister placement?Note;Using 16” &
18” XS 650 rear wheels with Radian swingarm.

Kinda think both sides should match, but that's just me.

Agree.Put them both to the back and gonna go with that.Faced to the front risks a clearance issue for the travel factor.

I’m a happy old grandps.Compliments to the USPS.Jumped all over this pad,early controls and grips from a noted seller.2 days and here.Probably not going on this project but most likely on the next.

Spring fever here so ordered some generic number plates and put them on.Been a back burner thought for a senior class flat track ride at Davenport or somewhere one day before I get to far into being a senior.lol.Hopefully the number plates fire me up to get back to finishing the original motor rebuild even if the ride doesn’t happen.
