Dave, thanks for the video. It is hard to tell if they would be any quieter than my existing EMGO's w/ wrapped straight through baffle or not.

Mike did send me dimensions for the baffles. They are: ...

Jack, See my tra-fe post in the cafe or tracker section for different angle pictures.

MN, I would like $60 for the shocks + whatever postage to get to you is. they are 13-3/8" long, eye to eye. For ...

I have a longer set of Red Wings that I ran without any problems. I would sell if you have interest pm me and I can get you some pictures, eye to eye length and a price. They are chrome body and sprin ...

The cafe seat comes from Mikes XS. The seat is made to work with the stock XS650 tank, and does so pretty well. I had to hog out the holed in the hinge that mounts to the seat to allow a bit of adjust ...

Dave, are the mufflers his new mechanical baffle design, as opposed to the old standard perforated baffle wrapped in fiberglass?

The reason I ask is that I have EMGO's with to standard fiberglass w ...

Working on a project that started out as a 78 standard. Like the tracker look and the cafe so my project will interchange tank/seat combo for both looks on the same bike.

Thanks boys,

Pumps, its coming along. It is a fun old bike to work on. Can't seem the time to dedicate good long blocks of time to. That balance thing ya know.

Cretin, I will be able to have bot ...

Some pictures of my tracker/cafe project. Purchased the bike in the spring last year.

Have redone the wheels, new tires, cleaned carbs and increased main and pilot jets, new front brake set up fro ...

Welcome to the XS world.

Headpipes look a bit different than mikesxs.net. The ones in the picture seem to have more of a kick up at the rear. Mike's has some similar. The mufflers in the picture lo ...

Lee, SLOWLY working on a project where I will have a 750 tank and Mike's seat for a cafe look and be able to change to the stock tank and a tracker seat for a tracker look.

I drilled the spot weld ...

I have an 18" rear and a 19" front from a 78 standard. These are the alloy flanged type. No spokes or hubs, just the hoops. They are straight without any dents or gouges. They do have some corrosion t ...

I have installed emulators on my XR. They work relatively well. As XS & tom indicated, they make the old style damper rod type for work more like a cartridge fork. Sharp edged bumps are less of a jolt ...

Very nice work indeed!

I have always liked this style pipe too. Where did you get the reverse cone meg's? Are overall lengths for each exhaust bank pretty close?

I am in the process (slow) of a ...

I am rebuilding too. Racetech does not have these bushings. Can you give me any contact on where you found these.

Striker, If you haven't re-assembled yet, they don't show a replacement bushing on their website, but have you tried calling Racetech? 951.279.6655

WOW! youda thunk I have some kinda disease or something the way everyone has avoided me.

Gonna try 15 w.

I am in the process of rebuilding my forks. I will have Mike's emulators and Mike's progressive springs. I am about 190#. I like a sport bike type ride, without it being bone jarringly stiff.

Thanks for the input guys.

JD, I must be wrong about the adjustable rev limiter on the Boyer micro digital ignition. That is why i'm posting on this. Do you know what the rev limit is? Other than t ...

I am considering a new ignition system for my 78 standard tracker/cafe project. My goals are to get rid of the points and improve performance and spark.

I have some pros and cons for each system a ...

Dwyatt, thanks for the info. Keep us updated on the project!

IMO you mock up idea sounds like the ticket. If you don't want the bike out of commission, I would suggest waiting on removing the grips until after you are pretty sure everything will work.

Good L ...
