Well, My cafe is somewhat disassembled for a complete re-vamp (one off tank and seat being made by a local fabricator) AND SOME OTHER CHANGES. I acquired another 78 xs for nothing, got it running and did this to it so I have something to ride this summer. I've done nothing to the Norton but look...

What changes can I expect to need to make if I run open pipes...let's say for starters if I just took the mufflers off and had just my stock headers (78 xs650). Any body switch to opens and been lucky enough for only minor adjustments? Thanks...just curious.

Well, I've followed the instructions that came with it as well as #165 on 650motorcycles.com but I'm stuck. Everything is wired except for the power. I have four connections from the old coils. Instructions say to plug the red wire off the box to the positive on the new coil, then cut that wire...

Just my mug, with scooby

I just started digging into a 2nd xs 650 that I acquired a few months ago for the price of getting out of the PO's lawn. Bike runs well but here's the issue. Has the "ghost rev" thing going on. I went through this with my main xs and it was alleviated by servicing the advance unit and shaft. I...

the mechanical advance rod on my xs calls for lubrication from a grease containing moly...can regular old white lithium grease be used for this application? Just curious

So I decided to try to make my own glass seat just for something to do. I started with the tail off my stock xs tank, coupled with a peice of foam from an old weight bench. I cut the foam to the width of the frame and I shaped the tail to overhang the rear frame loop, matching the kick-up. (I...
