Looks fantastic mate

First time I've logged onto this forum for a while for a look, its also about time I updated my XS850 thread thats on here somewhere. (http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=7477) And yes, you're very lucky to have found those wheels. Bought mine from Japan, cost me a little bit to...

Re: 1975 Yamaha XS500B Cafe Project (TX500) - Thoughts, Comments, Suggestions Nice work mate, I used the VHT wrinkle black paint on my XS850 head and barrels and polished the outer lip. Looks sweet. Also if you're worried about the bike rolling off the center stand, just leave the transmission...

Hey mate, your 650 looks awesome! What forks and front brake calipers do you have on there?

Well I really love how I did the original rims too, and I wont be getting rid of them completely, I'd like a set of the spoked wheels for the more classic look, maybe for Show 'n Shines etc etc. I've got a spare seat which I'll work on to make a single seat, but havent had the time lately - same...

Heres a 'quick' list of what I've done/what the bikes got............ probably forgotten many things, but its an idea...... Powdercoated frame, swingarm, triple clamps, stands, batterybox, various other brackets New wheel bearings and seals Tyres - BT45 front Spitfire 11R rear Wheels painted...

Still need to finish making a 3-2 exhaust using shorty megaphone mufflers, have a new seat made (this one doesn’t bother me really as I bought it as NOS in 2007) and lastly I’m going to put a set of wire spoked wheels on it! Just need a front from either an XS650 or SR500!

I was rushing to get it ‘finished’ for a Bike festival held in Perth/WA every year so I didn’t get it 100% but at least it was rideable………. Runs extremely well with the bigger, newer Triumph Carbs…. I’ve got the fully electronic ignition from an ’81 XS850 and with these carbs its so sweet and...

Getting there……..

So now - AGAIN the bike has been pulled apart - Wheels and fuel tank were soda blasted. Frame is getting blasted and powdercoated black. Fenders, fuel tank, side covers and rims are away getting painted in 2pak with some custom stripes I've 'designed' Next on the list is to replace all the old...

Since then, I broke and repaired 2nd gear numerous times, replaced the clutch etc etc Had an oil leak which I couldnt sort out so I got fed up and pulled out the motor and put in a spare which came from my grandad's '77 XS750E Wheels painted, forks polished Rebuilt my 850 motor (again)...

My Yamaha Triple, a 1979 XS750SF 'Special' was originally bought by my Dad in 1992 to use as spare parts for the 1978 XS750E he had at the time. I started rebuilding it when I was 16-17 as a project, which finished when I had just turned 19, not long after getting my open class licence. I...
