Looks like a late 60s -early 70s Bendix for all Big Twin and Sportster Harleys. The age can be determined (approx.) by the AMF Harley-Davidson casting on the side. AMF owned Harley from 69 to 77. As far as I know all Bit Twins (FLH, FX, FXE, etc) and Sportsters used the same Bendix carb. Dave

Yeah...They claim that vibration is reduced, but I've ridden a rubber mount and it shakes as much as my 92 frame mount. Funny thing is, people talk about how bad the Sportster vibrates, but after riding a Yamaha XS-650 and a 1964 Norton Atlas, the Sportster seems a smooth as a baby's a**...

In 2004 they went to rubber mounted engines. Added width and weight to the Sportsters and reduced lean angle and agility.

All the kidding and H-D hating aside, I've owned a number of Harleys from 1951 Pans to my current one, a 1992 Sportster. I gave up riding big garbage barges and went with Harley's sport bike. The Sportster runs great, is extremely reliable and handles twisties as well as most sport bikes. I am a...

I'd like a 4" too. Dave

I'd like the back patch of he still has it. Dave

Nab-H1, as much as I love the 500 triples stock, you have done a great job on yours! Looks great. Dave

sbaugz, that is a good looking Suzuki! Nice job! Dave

Other than being in a war and getting shot at, he was very lucky. To have been able to fly in BOTH of those magnificent aircraft is enough to make me jealous. Dave

I'm a Dehavilland Moquito fanatic. Them and the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress. The two best airplanes ever made. Dave

It isn't a Mosquito. The engines and prop cones are wrong. Dave

Can they be fitted with baffles from other pipes? I like a quieter ride than these look like they would provide, but I like the look of the mufflers. dave

I need help trying to find out what these mufflers are. I got them off eBay and the seller thought they were old Triumph pipes but wasn't sure. Any help will be appreciated! Dave

I have put the idea on hold for now and not really pursued it. It is still a possibility in the future, but for now I plan to leave it about like it is. Dave

Thanks! I'll do that. Dave

Does anyone know a relatively simple way to mount R1 rearsets on an XS650? Thanks! Dave

Tim, that is a sweet looking XS! Mine isn't nearly so nice, but I'm still working on it. Cash is scarce so I am having a hard time finding a tank. Dave

Flugtechnik, you aren't too far away from me. I'm in Wilmington, NC and ride a 78 XS650. Just trying to get her turned into pseudo-cafe racer. I don't plan to go with a rear cowl, but already have the clubmans, getting the bar end mirrors, haven't yet mounted the XS roadster seat. I need to get...

If you have an XXL I'd like one. Dave

By chance does anyone have a used set of bar end mirrors they would like to donate to my XS650 project? Funds being nonexistant at this time, I am looking for donations. :-) Condition is not really important as long as I can see behind me. Dave
