What did you do with your XS today?

[Scorpio1963]

I did some fabricating on my exaust headers and the hpipe so that it will be a direct fit into the end of the header pipes like how it supposed to be.I had to remove inner tubing from the hpipe so it will slide over the tubing that inside the headers..It had formerly been rigged together with exaust sleeves,reducers and ubolt clamps making it looked like crap along with having a number of exaust leaks.

Sad day. Finally pushed the bike up the ramp and into the new "workshop".

 

[Scorpio1963]

I started taking my carbs apart and to my surprise they are amazingly clean.

 

[drewpy]

went to Huddersfield auto jumble on the bike today (about 100 miles), got a rubber thingy for 50p and it fits the new inlets on the tracker. So I got home and sorted that.

did a little bit more work on the Gilera too,as the weather was mild.

Don't let them fool you. Legend has it they are expert at hiding their detritus where mere mortals fear to look.

I violated the speed limit NUMEROUS TIMES!

I removed the old tires that came with it and currently waiting for the rest of my order that has the rim strips so I can install the new tires. I hate bike bandit. They suck on shipping times.

OG, is it "easy" to find vintage bikes in that part of the woods? I will be moving to WA next summer...

 

[Scorpio1963]

I took the petcok off my gas tank then took it apart and cleasned it.After that I put it back together and fastened back on the gas tank.

There are always lots of old jap bikes around. Just recently I saw a near perfect restoration of a CB500 F and a really beautiful CB450. Right now there are several nice GoldWings on the market, and I know of a SWEEET Triumph TR6R. Seattle and Portland are always good places to look for nice bikes. It's only when you're looking for a particular model that it can get frustrating. What part of the state are you moving to?

Definition of speed limit is how fast you can ride your bike without doing damage to your engine.
Or if driving a car how fast it will go with the gas pedal pushed all the way down to the floor and not get caught.

Me heading out in -6 weather (Celsius) in my 2004 Mazdaspeed MX-5 for my annual New Years Day drive. 220hp RWD sleeper and autocross cone killer.

New Years Day, ... I missed my xs400.
Took a walk alongside the Gulf of Mexico to console myself ...
