State by state. I can tell you from personal experience from a few times being pulled over that vertical is illegal in Iowa.

Going to Conesville, Iowa for Thunder in the Sand. It's a fun time if you like dirty biker stuff, drag racing, drinking, or all of the above haha. I get to step out of my normal adult life and let l ...

Thanks for keeping an eye out. I haven't called the first one you posted yet. I'm going to wait 'till after next weekend I do believe as we're going to a motorcycle rally for the weekend with my XJ ...

Budget is the ultimate factor. Like I said, I'm more than capable of doing a complete rebuild. It's the mighty dollar that rules most of my decisions on this one.

It's not above me at all, but cost of repair versus replacment is something to think about.

Will do, I'm going to call him later this evening with an offer.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll be giving him a call. KC isn't that bad of a trip at all.

I should have known this thing was going to fight me all the way 'till the bitter end. Finally, after my Dad (poor guy) stopped by again I utilized his hands to help hold stuff solid while I beat and ...

Whoa ho ho! 400 bones just for crank bearings!? Are they gold plated or what!? Haha yeah I think I have a few leads on a runner.

Bitchin'! I'm jealous of the tools. Very Happy

I decided I wasn't going to let this thing beat me, so I beat it, literally. My Dad stopped by and I conned him into getting involved again as I needed another set of hands, and finally after beating ...

Pretty cool man, not my style per say, but I still dig it!

Welcome from an Altoona Iowa noob. Very Happy

I'm diggin' 'em.

Looks good so far. I think I'd go opposite though and instead of finding a thinner fender, going with a fatter tire. I think the shocks are giving you a wide look in the back and it would look best ...

Hey I returned your PM. I'm almost positive I can get this free, just kind of looking for something turn key as this one appears to need some coin invested before it's burning fuel.

Thanks again

I've had the air hammer on 'em along with swinging my dead blow with somebody prying up on the jugs, they're stuck pretty good. Wink

Well I got the motor out of the bike tonight, and that was the easy part.

Started tearing into it and all was going well ...

Looking for a good XS 650 motor. Anybody have anything layin' around shoot me a PM please.

Thanks

Dustin

I'm diggin' the build Shadowshady.

I'm fearing the worst on the engine on mine, perhaps I'll be looking for a used 650 engine

Thanks pumps. I'm looking forward to it, now if I only had the cash sittin' so the build wouldn't take so long. I know for a fact I'd do the 750 kit to it with a nasty cam/carb set up. The XJ was d ...

Got antsy and spent an hour out in the garage tonight stripping 'er down. I should have the motor out at the very least tomorrow, and perhaps torn into.

I'll be watching this build as I'm planning on going a similar route.

Decided to register on the site since I've finally found an XS650 to put the chop to. I've lurked around for a while, now I'm signed up. Here's a link on the site to what I've picked up.

So I picked up what I've been looking for for a while, and it was FREE! It's pretty rough, and about the going rate for a bike like this in this condition, but I don't care, I have the building block ...
