MMmmm.... xsjohn, are you a reloader? You sound like it. The challenge of getting a load just right, for me, is equal to the enjoyment of hunting or target shooting. I'm pretty fair with engines, and ... |

I have tried, but can not get your site to come up. I have a very slow dial-up connection and some sites just will not load. Do you have an address that will allow me to view the site in alternate mod ... |

I am looking for an excellent quality hardtail section, and someone who can perfessionally attach to a 650 frame? I am trying for a 50s look, and would like to use the stock rear-tire with very little ... |

I love it. It is a keeper. Very strong, corners well, and over engineered in case you want to do some performance improvements in the future. Only problem that I have had with the bike was a fuel cap ... |

Love the "dresser" under your beard. I'm looking to put something together very similar. Do you do much 2 up riding with it? Looks like a pretty comfortable set up.

I have owned 2 different XS650s and am currently in the market for another. Any advice on the best year? I just let a '79 slip through my fingers; got greedy and tried to get it too cheap - $700 and I ... |
