    Teledan's XT500 project

    Thanks, yeah I like the look of high pipes but I couldn't find many aftermarket ones. Luckily I found this header and midpipe set on ebay by a seller named goinfitdaflow. I did cut up the midpipe a little bit to shorten it. And the muffler is from Cone Engineering. The pipe is just bare steel...

    Teledan's XT500 project

    Decided to re-do the subframe and build a better tail light mount because it kept cracking. I chopped off the rear “hoop” and welded on some tubing with some slugs I machined. Then I added a flat bar at the back where the tail lights mount. I decided to use two Prism Speedster lights. I also...

    Teledan's XT500 project

    Its been a long time since I have posted anything, and it looks like all my pictures on here are gone so I better post a pic of the bike as it sits today. I just picked up some new bars so those will be going on soon. I also want to redo the taillight mount, it has started to crack and I didn't...

    I think the black and white speed block pattern looks good on the yellow. I don't think red would look good on the yellow, it might look too much like a hot dog stand. But you never, it might work out.

    That looks to be a variation of the Yamaha “speed block” pattern. You might try searching “Yamaha speed block decal” and see if you can find something similar.

    Small handlebar switch unit

    Have you used that one yourself? I like that it is metal but why do they have to make these things so ugly? Maybe I'll spend the extra money and get this one: https://www.dimecitycycles.com/k-s-vintage-style-left-hand-control-switch-turn-signal-horn-hi-lo-black-fits-7-8.html

    Small handlebar switch unit

    Hey all, I am looking for a handlbar switch unit for the left side that has switches/buttons for turn signals, high/low beam, and a horn but I want something compact. I tried a cheap chinese unit and it got fried real quick so I want something higher quality. Anyone know of any good ones? I am...

    Its been a while but I picked up an EBC rotor recently for the front. I think it looks pretty good on that wheel.

    "the Mooch"

    Seriously. He is making it pretty clear for us. I just can't understand all of the people who are sticking up for him after these remarks. He is blatantly discriminating against people who are from certain countries. Anyone remember this? “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled...

    C is the vent for the stator area. There should be a tube on it that runs back and down behind the motor.

    It is a button that you press and it just slightly opens the throttle valve, then if you were to rotate the throttle the opposite direction it will push the button back up.

    Could be too small pilot jet, or mixture screw not adjusted quite right. Remind me again, what carb are you running? And what size pilot jet do you have now?
