Haven't done much. 3 weeks rain+sub-tropical heat=1billion mosquitoes. Open shed, f***en mozzies

Bloody Hell!! I went to fit my new Pamco electronic ignition and discovered that I'd put the cam shaft in the wrong way round. So it was strip it down to the point where I could change it and then reassemble it. Not something that I was planning on. I,ve cut the kickstartshaft bushing off the...

Please disregard the crap in the above about making my own master diaphram. I spent some time going around the bike shops in town and found one that was the same size. Lucky really, small town, not many bikes. Went to Sydney for a couple of days. I checked out Deus ex Machina's showroom. Great...

Yeah, the mounts are fab'd from 1 1/2 tube, 6mm rod and nuts and button heads all in stainless. I've been doing the bits and pieces to get the engine ready. Ordered an electronic ignition from pamco. And got the cup and oring for my master cylinder, But the rubber boot thing from inside the...

I like what your doing there. I'd say the white over the chrome, but it maybe different when you've done the seat. What's your master cylinder off? I think I like it more than the square one I'm going to use.

I'm going down to Sydney in a couple of weeks. One of the must do's is to go To Deus's shop in Parramatta. I've seen lots of pics but never one of their creations up close. Have you seen www.vanem.com.au ? I love that minimalist look.

Got any pics of what you've got in mind? Sounds like you've got many hours of fun and frustration ahead.

Hey Chris, that's a great looking bike. I love the black satin and stainless fittings. I feel like I've spent more on them for my bike than almost anything else. Looking forward to seeing it done. You don't want to leave it anywhere at night, you'll never find it again.

And the master cylinder

Hi guys, thanks for the compliments. The front end is polished up and back together. Can't remember if I've listed all the stuff so I'll do it anyway. Replaced bearings and seals in both front wheel and steering head. Progressive springs and new seals, oil, gaters etc. Front wheel relaced wih...

EXCELLENT

Looking good, That Gixxer front end was a score.

Re: My XS650 project - update July 9 2008 - More wiring - getting closer... Hey Tim, I just found your thread. Fabulous. I see we sing from the same page. I see that you've found my thread. What's happening with your project?

Hi Jow. I'm up on the north coast of NSW. Check out my thread on "big arse projects" title is XS in OZ. That bike you posted is imaculate. Hope you make it. I'm working on my first build. I 've been at it on and off for probably 2 years, but I'm trying to do all of it myself (except rebore...

Thanks for the comments, I get my ideas etc from checking out the other builds going on. There is some realy great stuff happening. Today I lapped the valves and fitted them to the head and placed it on the barrels. (see pic) I also pulled down the front end for another polish and final...
