I would like to run a wide white wall tire on the rear of my bike, but I'm having some issues here. Currently I'm running a 130/90-18 (XS650 rear rim), and I can't find any wide whites in that size. I searched a 120/90-18 and could only locate a "front" tire. Do you guys (and gals) think that...

The weather has been off and on here the past few weeks, but we finally got a nice weekend a couple weeks ago, so I took the KZ440 out for a little cruising. Snapped a few photos that I thought were pretty good for a total photographic amateur. One of them actually has my ugly mug in it....so...

Got a random question.... I just got a steal on an awesome headlight for my build, BUT....it's a 6 volt light, instead of 12 volts. Is there any way possible to run a 6 volt on the XS? It is a sealed glass light, so simply changing the bulb is unfeasible. Any suggestions?

So.....I've been steadily looking every single day at Craigslist for the "deal" of a 650! I've been wanting one forever. I'm sitting on the couch last nite, just browsing, and I come across an ad for a clean, titled XS650. SWEET!! I call the guy, and he had JUST posted it! I was the first to...

I changed routes on my bike, and decided to stay with the dual carb set-up for now. I have had my KZ400 running with this carb, and everything checks out fine. I cleaned the entire thing approx. 3 months ago, and it was spotless. I drained the fuel from it before letting it sit on the shelf. The...

Hey fellas. I have an old "Maier" brand 1/4 fairing that is just taking up precious space in my garage, so I figured maybe one of you could use it on your cafe build. It is in decent shape, but it's far from perfect. One of the mounting holes needs repaired (it's fiberglass I believe, so it...

I have a set of custom T-style handlebars if anyone here is interested. The XS has 7/8" bars, just as a heads up, and these are 1" bars. I can get measurements and pictures if anyone wants them. I'd like to get $30 OBO, plus shipping.

I'm looking for a cheap clutch lever, as well as a brake lever. I need the drum front brake model. I can get a new set for around $20, but I'm wanting to modify them a little, and a used set would make me feel better when I cut them up. I just figured I'd post here to see if any of you guys had...

Wish I was closer.....I'd be there today! Check it..... http://terrehaute.craigslist.org/mcy/2225543478.html

Found this on my local Craigslist....thought I would post up if anyone here is interested. AGAIN, THIS IS NOT MINE!!! http://louisville.craigslist.org/mcy/2220723400.html

I plan to polish the side covers, rocker cover, valve adjustment caps (already finished), the "Yamaha" cover (already finished), the points cover (already finished), and whatever else I can get my fingers to...lol I would love to polish the cylinders and block too, but I have no idea how I would...

Pretty sweet bike, and really sweet build cost!! http://www.thechopperunderground.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=52069&hl=xs400

Check this out....I'd give my left (and maybe even the right) testicle!!! http://www.xs650.org.au/kev%27s%20turbo.htm Words aren't good enough!!

Quick question. What size are our axle slots? I'm picking up the hardtail kit from Travis and he has 17MM and 20MM sized slots. 17MM, correct? Also, we don't have a funky set-up and have two different size slots do we?

STUPID QUESTION ALERT..... I know my KZ400 and KZ440 both have a "360 degree crank", meaning that as one piston falls, the other rises. In turn, the engine only sucks in enough fuel as say a 200cc bike (200cc being half of our 400cc). Do our XS's do the same, or do both pistons rise and...

I'm looking to convert my bike to single carb instead of duals. I am in the market for a early to mid 1990's year Honda CR250 carb. I would be interested in any other 34mm or 35mm carb instead though. Help me out guys!

So does anyone on here play cornhole? I am about to embark on building my very first set of custom boards, and would love to see photos of other boards. I am building a set for a friend who is a huge Philly Eagles fan. They will have paint, decals, and stain. I hope they turn out good, as it's a...

Hey guys. This is my XS400 that I built last winter. It is hardtailed, and runs a 21" front and 18" rear wheel. The front is an Akront rim laced to the stock hub, and the rear came from a "Heritage Special" XS650. The bike was built in about a two month time-frame, so it wasn't perfect by any...
