    For Sale - 82 Cafe Racer part out

    Carburetor upgrade questions

    Well guys and gals, it's nearing time for me to finally cobble my xs project together. Last year my stock carbs did real well for me, but they've been sitting in my garage all winter and I'm honestly not in the mood to rebuild them. All the nightmares I've heard of ripping those things apart...

    Rear disc axle spacers?

    I'm swapping over from rear drum to rear disc but my setup didn't come with an axle. I'm assuming the axle off my 81 rear drum setup is the same overall length and diameter, but I'm unsure about spacers. I tried to find any variances while looking on parts diagrams from Babbitt's Yamaha parts...

    For Sale - Starter delete plug

    Okay, so I'm not personally selling one. But I stumbled across a pretty cool site a while back but wanted to wait until I experienced the company first hand before I posted anything. Ordered some things, then kind of forgot about them. They sell some odd ball parts, such as a tach cable...

    Help a dumb guy?

    Since I'm dropping my frame off at the welders tomorrow morning, I figured it'd be a good time to try and iron out some of my pre-build head scratchers. This is my first attempt at building a motorcycle, and I'm a bit of an idiot. So here goes nothing. I purchased a tank off this forum a...

    Brake lever questions

    Well, since I've been out in the garage all day huffing paint fumes I figured it's time to sit down and figure out some of the specifics. I'm converting to rear disc, and threw all brake balance cautions to the wind and have decided to use a master cylinder off one of my old bikes. Before I go...

    Could owning half a motorcycle lower my insurance rates you think?

    OEM+

    In an attempt to keep everything Yamaha while also gaining horsepower, I recently scored a set of 77 XS750 carbs for 25 bucks from a local pick and pull. Next step is to find yamaha's hotter XS400 cam. Is there anything else I can consider engine wise without having an insane amount of...

    For Sale - 81 rear end parts

    Going rear disc on my bike, so I figured I'd try and sell off what I don't need here. Everything is a make offer type scenario. Dirty, but very clean rear wheel with a brand new Avon roadrider tire. 120/80/116. By brand new I mean it has less than 50 miles on it. The swingarm is available...

    Slow build

    I've been silent for a while now, mainly because I've been "busy." I got the xs stripped down quite a bit now, but she won't be ready for any rebuild processes just yet.. as I'm not even sure what route I'm taking on the build. It's probably going to be a mishmash of different styles. I'm not...

    Let me bounce this off your noodles

    Alright. So I just snagged an 82 R65ls from a family member, which means the xs will be going under the knife this year and I have a question or two. Engine work: what can I do to this thing? Any big bore potentials, or stroker kits? I've always liked running small cc bikes with big...

    Another dumb exhaust question

    I lost one of my mufflers in the ghetto and I ain't going back for it. They were biltwell shorties, and they're like a 100 bucks a pop. Whatever. I was actually able to find a used 2 into 1 exhaust for the bike, but while that's on its way am I going to be okay running open pips? I know some...
