Bet it runs like crap! The last time I experienced a toilet bowl race was immediately after consuming a bowl of ice cream (I am lactose intolerant).

Thanks,guys!

Great to hear from you,Barb (your posts ALWAYS brighten my day!).Thought we had another site member jumping ship...

Happy New Year,one and all!

John,do you make needles for the38s,too? Maybe the 38s are good as is?

Pumps,what do you use for the power supply? I want to try this method. Thank you for posting it!

I PMed you about the swingarm bushings. I paid for them via paypal on the 12/16/09. Have you sent them out yet? Thank you.

[quote="dpmphoto"]Seems like way too much work for the results your gonna get. Didn't Hunter S Thompson commit suicide?[/quote]

Yes,but it was unlikely that it pertained to an XS650 front wheel swa ...

[quote="Srinath"]Point it forward and when you hit a big bump, it will stab the tire.
Cool.

When the front suspension compresses,the tire will actually be further from the (TOT ...

[quote="royfisk"]As for the indian, as far as I know the exhaust pipes were rebuilt but are what remains of the originals, as with anything else that was ruined by rust. Also not true to the bike is t ...

Skull,pm me about TXA muffs. I am looking to get a set of new Dunstall replicas,and if I could net enough to get them to my door (about $125 US,and you pay for shipping to your locale),I would definit ...

I think scotts' special project IS his 75B,and that is why he is not going to alter the exhaust. A very sweet bike,as all of his are. But if I remember correctly,he is going to restore this one. No ne ...

[quote="Custom650"]Danno, I believe you may have just saved an original 1978 standard.[/quote]

Dear Santa;
All I want for Christmas is an XS650 standard with a clear,transferable title. Please try ...

Did any parts have to be custom made?

Jayel,that is a good idea;air cooled when dry,water cooled when raining.

[quote="yamaman"]You know what they say Wally; "once you go black, you'll never go back"![/quote]
I beg to differ. You may go caucasian,but just on occasion. Sure glad I have this keyboard to hide be ...

Dpm,I tend to agree with you on this topic (but not on Benztech's bike...I DO like that!). OMG! What is happening to me?

[quote="Custom650"]And I would do it too. Where are you again?

Edit: Nevermind, I still have your old PM. You're about a 4 hour drive. That's far, but it's not impossible. Maybe we can still wo ...

NYS DOT must be run by cousins of the Penn DOT. Really,though,not that difficult here. If you care to pm me your phone number,I'll give you a call tomorrow. I have some bobber type parts that I would ...

[quote="kingwj"]I raised my needles a notch. Am I screwed?[/quote]
Congratulations! You just lowered your bike's value by 30%.

I think by restoration (not resteration),many people mean keeping the bike stock in appearance,without any frame mods or major design changes. Perhaps resto/mod would be a better adjective. While this ...

A shame you're so far away...I would still trade you a 1981 (clear title) and 1982 (no title) Special for your bike.

Tonyc2me,your bike is going to be killer! Please keep the pics of your progress coming. Can you please pm me a bit of info on the seat (it looks to be a BSA or Triumph item,and looks outstanding!)? So ...

DPM,another idea is a custom gauge bracket to allow use of a speedometer only. Not my bike pictured,but I like the concept.

You are right,bobbers do seem to be bringing more money (I don't know why,because flat Black Rust-oleum and hack saw blades are cheap). I guess you can count me as a "die hard". When your bike was new ...
