Long time without a reply. I moved and didnt have adequate workspace. However to answer a few questions, the engine was painted with all VHT paints: wrinkle black plus and gloss black. The grips I found off ebay a while back. Since then ive tossed them and added some shortened classic bars by...

Very cool! And yes, is the tensioner made from delrin? kit?

I made the seat pan from a flat piece of about 16 or so guage steel. Then took it to a local upholstery shop and let him know what I wanted. A few days later it came out nicely. The front of the steel sheet is bent up and out to blend with the tank, and the rear portion has a bit of an upward...

Long time, no post. Heres where it sits as of now. Everything has been taken apart and either cleaned or refinished. All thats left is to finish up the top end. Im on the wall about honing the cylinders and putting in new rings, and slapping on the 850 head ive aquired. OOORRR ive heard of...

Re: Building Masculinity and a XS650 Engine This thread is brilliant. Great work.

Looking sexy. Ill definitly keep my eye on this one. And Swagger, I think you need to sit down, and spit out the knowledge you have of this bike. Everytime you post on the XS, its something interesting.

Thats great! I thought I was at a loss for fork swaps. More hours of online research and staring blankly at my bike will resume shortly. Haha.

Thanks for all the kind words! Okay now, I need to see this bike, what was the process of the fork upgrade? Sounds amazing.

Clip-ons sold.

headlight ears just sold a few minutes ago... To the top for the clip-ons and taillight.

UGH! im having the shittiest time finding a throttle cable that works with a motion pro throttle and the carbs from a triumph for this bike. Anyone have some suggestions on what could work? Ive tried pulling a Mcguyver and it was working great for a while, then a friend comes over and snaps it...

This is something I bought off Ebay a while back, but I dont plan on using it anymore. Theyre up for 30-40 dollars plus shipping I believe. Perfect condition, Chrome. All hardware. Ill let it go for 25 shipped in the 48 state US. Or it can be use as trade/partial trade for non-fender...

Theyre some universal ears from speedmotoco, and the healight is stock. It just has large opening for the wiring. I may use one of the openings for the ignition. Time will tell. I'll soon be selling the headlight ears and clipons ,and reinstalling the stock ones to cover the upper tubes for a...

I think its really cool that a community like this is also into VW's. To me, the older VW's are much like the bikes we are messing with. They're somewhat easy to maintain, the mods can be limitless, and you can really express yourself with the work you put in, whether it be restoring, or all out...

This was the last picture I had before our garage filled with CRAP from roommates. I layed down thelaw and its being cleaned as we speak while im at work. Got the stance down, now to bolt up the fender, seat, taillight, and get it registered. Soon the Primary chain will need to be replaced. Its...

Haha, Ive got one in my car at all times you can use if youre here in TX. Anyways, I made this the other day. It bolts up perfectly to some tabs on the frame under the seat. I'm going to look for a leather dog collar to strap it down with.

Thanks! smallest, lightest, and best within budget you can get!
