Have some parts left over from my XS360 Build. Please email me at norman1950@gmail.com for best response. I don't check back on this forum very often. Thank you. Seat. No rust holes, will need new foam obviously. Have both sides of the trim, one will need to be worked on. Also have the rear...

Awesome on the gear indicator. Any chance of a write up or where to find it? Thanks.

Here is a great guide on how to put a helicoil to repair the threads.

Front is 1.85x18 and rear is 2.50x18.

Just an FYI, here is all the motors that use that cam can according to Partzilla.com

Just got the bike all legal and ready to ride on the road. Hope I can get it somewhere and take some decent photos away from the shop. Yay for road time!

Actually "a lot" of bobbers are not extended. The just cut the seat frame rails to right behind the rear shocks to obtain that look. I don't recommend this, but to each their own. Garage builds are always fun. Good luck and show pictures along the way.

On the relay, yes it would be best to buy a new one. Here in the states I was able to buy one from a local tractor supply store. The small riding lawnmowers use the same style.

If your battery is charged, the sounds like the starter relay is not working. Or if the battery is close dead, it isn't giving the relay enough power to turn the starter.

That is correct. You will have to make sure to cap off the intake barb. Also the reserve position might get in the way of the tank, if I remember correctly.

Taking it to the DMV to get all the paperwork finalized On the road real soon!!! Don't mind the ugly old snowmobile trailer. It needs lots of help....

Check with Mikesxs.net. The "newer" xs650 have the same 46mm spacing has the xs400s. But please double check me on that before ordering. I know mikesxs.net has a Canadian distributor also.

Wish it was that easy... But you will have to wire in the coils, condenser, points/CDI, rectifier and a on/off switch (sure I am missing a few small things). If you just want to hear/see the engine turn over, then you can just put power to the starter and a ground to the frame. Bike looks good...

Aluminum and vinegar are the best of friends, especially after sitting for while. That gray paste is probably the aluminum breaking down. So yes a new petcock would be a must to solve your problem.

Or a good place would be a tractor supply store also. They should have some solenoids for the smaller lawn tractors. I recently purchased one at a Lowe's here in states.
