;D Yes Sir, the plan for this week is to take the wheels off the bike, mount the new tires and install the Omar's rear wheel kit to run a XS front wheel on the back (as well as the sidecar, thanks to my new axle) install a new O-ring chain and larger rear sprocket.
Next week I hope to tackle the frame setup and weld the mounts on the bike. Still a couple weeks out to try and kill myself with it..
Hmm, just realized I somehow forgot about my spare wheel/tire that sits on back of the sidecar. Just ordered another tire, if anyone has a XS650, 750, 1100, non-spoked front wheel for sale, let me know!
Pretty sad when I go to post and get the red "Warning: this topic has not been posted in for at least 30 days.

This is going on the bike tonight:
19" Yamaha front wheel, flipped and mounted on rear with adapter kit. New slightly smaller sprocket. Sidecar will take the same wheel with a 15mm axle and tapered bearings. Gettin close.
I kept the XS650 and am building around that. Just put a lag bolt into a stud on the wall of my garage last night and straped the bike to it. Planning to bolt things to the sidecar frame tonight and line everything up so I can weld four mounts to the 650's frame and get this bitch out on the road.
Thanks for your suggestions on the sidecar axle PJ, I'm glad I upsized it cause I gonna beat the hell out of it.
Been struggling to find a ready to go left side exhaust option for the XS650, unfortunately everything I can find is not baffled or out of stock. I'm thinking it wouldn't be too difficult to buy the following + a collector and be set with only needing to weld the collector to the head pipes. Any suggestions, opinions? From the descriptions I'm assuming I need a 1.5" OD inlet and a 1.75" OD outlet 2into1 collector?? Anything else I might need for this setup?
