    you make a good point aboutt he tank. The Sportster tank is a bit ubiquitous in the world of motorcycles. I can buy a similar tank to the one on the Huwei bike for about $159.

    Irishguy's XS650

    For now the plan is to keep the Sportster tank. It seems to be mounted well, it's free, and it is new [Despite all the crud on it top of it.] As far as the seat. I may weld a portion of the loop back on the bike and fabricate a custom seat pan kind of like a lot of Bratstyle builds have, shape...

    Irishguy's XS650

    Now what to do with it? I have wanted two bikes for a while now. One is a Yamaha SR500 and the other is a Yamaha XS650. I was about to buy a local Honda CB500, but I have already built a couple of Honda SOHC Fours, and when I told a buddy at work about the imminent purchase, he asked if I...

    **Lets see the Leathers....**

    Yeah... that's the one I was looking for. Thanks for the quick reply! I had been looking at their site and I couldn't seem to find that specific jacket. I went there this morning through your link and they said that they only had one left. Fortunately it was a large, so I ordered it. I...

    Opinions needed please.

    Is it the Nighthawk or the Nighthawk S 700SC? A friend of mine just bought a 1984 Nighthawk 700SC and I rode the bike home for him. I liked the bike so much that I am currently looking to add one to the stable. The engine is sweet, the suspension and handling is much better than I would have...

    Love this helmet!

    I completely agree. I had the same helmet and wore it one time. That was enough. I sold it over on my Triumph Forum for $50. I have a Rockhard helmet on the way. We will see how it feels.

    Post a pic of your latest purchase

    While I was researching helmets I came across a guy who had a Biltwell, and got concerned about the non-DOT aspect of the Biltwell. Well... He orders a Rockhard like I ordered and then posted pictures of himself in botht he Biltwell and the Rockhard. Honestly, the Rockhard looked smaller on...

    Post a pic of your latest purchase

    There was a guy over at the Harley forums that bought both [Bell Custom 500 & Rockhard] and compared the two. He kept the Rockhard and sent the Bell back. I was going to order the Bell, but started reading about the Rockhard. The helmet is DOT and is maybe just a tiny bit smaller than the...

    New Guy From Alabama...

    The W650 was more like an original Bonneville in the feel and the way it rode and the sound the engine made. The handlebars had too much pull back though and they are difficult to change out, because the center section is 1" and the ends are 7/8". Overall a very nice bike and i wish I still...
