Ive never seen anyone who actually sells a custom clamp to replace the top tree. You could probably get one made by a machine shop. just bring them the top clamp and use those exact dimensions and j ...

That is pretty damn different looking. It looks like its coming together nicely. interested to see where you go from here. keep up the good work.

dirka, here is the front wheel picture you wanted.
danxs650mass, Here is also a picture of the sediment bowl, which i found out will not clear my engine in the position it is in, so some elbows and a ...

I used the tc bros hardtail. It was pretty easy to install and all the welds look great to me. there are a few things that i dont like about it though. The down tube is odly shape on the original b ...

Thanks alot Teebs! I was wondering if shortening the lower legs would be possible, I will have to do alittle research. I was thinking about going to a springer style front end. But it has to be the ...

Thanks guys! Ive got the original chrome front fender, I had it on there on a couple of the older pictures, just not shure if I like it though. TeeCat, I thought about the fake oil tank and stuff, Bu ...

I am actually going to try to use a sediment bowl from briggs and stratton. It has a valve and filter built it, and the bowl part is see through glass. I'll post a picture soon. The threads in the ...

new pics today! Sorry for no updates lately, but ive been working on the little stuff..... foot peg mount, foot pegs, seat spring mounts, etc.....
But here it is as it sits lately, virtually unchang ...

not quite shure yet what I'm at. I have the premade tc bros setup installed, I will be running a 21" front wheel, and a stock rear diameter (18) this should give me more than necessary, but I also pl ...

It just might, if you cut the rear mounting tab off and make some other kind of mount hidden under the tank and maybe move the ears on the tank back a bit so it will slide forward a little, ( I dont r ...

Agreed with TeeCat. Ivory with maroon/ dark red scallops.... and black pinstriping. Are you going to run a rear fender? I also hardtailed my bike with a tc bros unit, and I mounted my seat sort of ...

In my opinion neither way. The hardtail lower tubes look like they join up to the original frame frame in an odd manner. The regular tc bros kit has sleeves that go into the original frame and the ha ...

looks good! Is that a tc bros hard tail?

hmpf.... didn't know there was an xs 500. After a quick google image search, I will say no, it wont work. Its a different frame for shure. Is an xs 500 sort of rare? They make universal hard tail ...

I saw the slot on my drum, thought that was what it was for. The only problem is that I've got '72 forks. I think I can come up with something though to make it work. Thanks for the picture!!

Yeh, Ive been planning on using mid set controls. I wanted an agressive riding position, not a slouched/stretched out kinda deal. I guess thats why I put the seat up higher and I'm using clubman bar ...

Does anyone have any close up pictures of a xs 650 front brake drum "stay." I don't know if thats what it is called, but whatever holds the brake plate in place and keeps it from spinning. I have th ...

Put the engine back in tonight. Seat springs arived the other day as well. Also moved seat crossmember to line up with the seat springs.

To anybody using a tcbros hardtail or anyone familiar wit ...

Put some time in today! I trimmed the tank ears so it would fit closer to the neck. I still need to take a bit more off, but im trying to be careful not to damage the original paint. I will have to ...

Teebs has some kind of drum on his bike, YDS7? Im guessing thats a yamaha, I'll let you figure that part out

ah...maybe ebay xs 400 wheel, not sure of the axle size, but fong bros do a front end swap thing thats relatively easy..... but all depends on budget and parts availability.

I dont think the pictur ...

Thanks! Here are a few more pictures.

Good news. Frame is welded solid and ive got a rear wheel on. Its not the wheel I will be using, but its one I have laying arround. Also removed tank cups. I still need to trim the front ears on the ...
