Hey all, good to finally make my first post. Went for my first ride on my XS today so fits in well. Im from the sunny Gold Coast in Qld, Australia. Have been messing with cars since I could lift a spanner, and having a crack at bikes. Plan on going down the whole bobber (softail) direction but am getting the bike running right first. You've all been a fantastic help so far, so thanks. The bike is a 81 650 Special. Saved it from being scrapped and have it running OK...... Ill start a new thread in the appropriate areas with my Q's. Look forward to posting, Speak soon. Pete
