You could do both if you wanted, the vintage bike show in Huntington isn't until 2pm.

Won't be out Saturday but will prob stop by the vintage bike show in HB on Sunday.

Re: XS850 - Beatrix NEW YEAR, NEW BIKE, NEW PICS stay with the black. matches the rest of the bike.

I suspect that it could have something to do with the starter button. On my bike, the headlight stays off until the engine starts even with the key in the ignition. could have a bad grounding circuit in there somewhere. The turn signals are an ongoing problem, they never work right. I have...

Well I was for sure going to make it, but for some reason the gremlins have returned to my electrics and every light but my tail/brake light is out >:( If I can get it all fixed up before this weekend I will be there.

Thought you guys looked familiar. I had my yellow XS750 there but only stayed for an hour or so. Saw that Vincent too, work of art.

I might be down to join you guys. Were you guys at the vintage bike meet in Huntington about a week ago?

Pm me. I might have something.

Cool Costa Mesa is nice and close. Had the bike for sale a few months ago just to see if there was any interest in it. Got a lot of flakes and tire kickers, so I decided to hold onto it. My first project, so I will prob regret it if I ever do sell it.

where in oc are you? I'm in huntington and would love to get a beach ride going but not for a few months. Waiting for the bike to fall out of the system... :'(

FYI, I know this thread is pretty stale. however regarding the rearsets and kicklever clearance, I have found that if you use and SR500 kick lever it has enough of a kink to clear rearsets and will bolt right up to the XS750 kick start shaft. Just a heads up.

I pm'd you about the carb jetting. To tell you the truth, I actually had a specialist get me the right jets and I am pretty happy with the performance so far. The guy is on ebay, you tell him your carbs, altitude, modifications and whatever and he sends you the right jets. I rebuilt my carbs...

looking good. swap out the points igniton for the 78 and later transistorized electronic setup. You'll like it better.

yeah its all built up and I've ridden it around a bit. Having issues with the DMV getting it registered though. Good luck with your build, if you need any specialized advice, check out www.yamaha-triples.org. That site has helped me tremendously in getting my bike going.
