That thought crossed my mind for about 1/2 of a second...just the thought of riding an XL 600 3000 kms makes my arse hurt!
The cost of the same bike locally is more than double what it's being offered to me for, plus it holds some sentimental value (and I know the bike's history). That being...
Hi all,
I have an opportunity to pick up a 1983 Honda XL 600 from a friend in Mississauga but the catch is I have to get it shipped to Calgary. I'm in the process of investigating the potential cost to ship the bike in the hope that I can find something reasonable (i.e. less than the cost of...
Hi Burkejt1,
No problem. This change with Photobucket is a real pain in the a$$...
I removed the safety switches, the front gauge lights, replaced keyed ignition with push buttons under the seat and replaced the stock batter with a Shorai.
Let me know if you have any questions!
Looks like you have a great starting point that isn't too haggered. I'm also working on an SR250 and have been having a lot of fun with it. Working on a single cylinder/ carburetor is nice particularly as it relates to jetting. What part of the world do you live in? I may still have my stock...
Thanks man. I got the tail light from some dude in town, off Kijiji. It wasn't ideal but did the job and will look better once I've painted it. I had to make some brackets to make it sit correctly and still be able to mount the license plate.

Clearly having no fender isn't terribly practical, and the low fender is VERY close to the tire and doesn't provide much clearance for debris. That being said, I think I prefer the low or no options over the original high fender.
Thoughts?
Thanks for taking the time to comment guys.
Trimming the seat height at the back was something that a buddy mentioned as well... makes sense!
My original plan was to have the high front fender so never really thought to try it low, mounted on the brace. I will see if I can temporarily mount...
I spent a few quality hours in the garage working on the SR for fathers day before heading out with the family. I replaced the rear tube, installed the chain, shifter and side case and then rolled it outside for some much needed sunshine. I was able to take it for a short spin around my...
Very cool. I'm a fan of the old Yamaha 2 strokes. I had a '68 250 with a RT3 360 engine in it... my buddy has 2x '73s - a 125 and a 360. I'm hoping to get another, but need to get the SR complete first!
