Okay, I'm a fat bastard. Some of it is laziness, some is genetics. I'm half Italian, half German, two ethnic groups that can definitely produce some roly poly fatties. Judging by some of the family photos, this has been going on for generations! :) It seems the German side have big bellies and...

Okay, So my electrical is screwed on my bike, so I decided to look into replacing the harness. I considered using Drewpy's thread and doing it myself, but decided to take one last look on Ebay. So when I saw this NOS wiring harness...

I know there are threads about changing to XS650 forks by using new bearing and making it fit, but doesn't this seem like an elegant solution? Lop off your neck and weld this in and your options open up dramatically. You bobber guys could even run one of these front ends. I'm almost...

Has anyone seen these? They look really nice.:D http://scramblerducati.com/en

Does anyone have any experience with this rebuild kit from Poland? It doesn't really say what it includes. http://www.ebay.com/itm/KR-Carb-Carburetor-Repair-kit-YAMAHA-XS-400-XS-750-XS-1100-NEW-/151258179885?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2337b0a92d&vxp=mtr

I've been looking on Amazon and eBay for a bike cover. Our garage is storage for all of our stuff right now, so I have to leave it outside until we're done with our house projects. Anyone have any recommendations for a waterproof cover? I did a search and can't find any discussion on here.

If anyone would like to help a LOT of people, may I suggest component recommendations for electrical newbs like me? Here is a website that I've looked at, but I'm not quite sure which components I should buy to make my own wiring harness. These are the type of minutia that people who know and...

Alrighty... I've decided to start a thread for my little resto/mod. I'm keeping things pretty stock looking except for the seat and maybe a few little touches. I want it to be pretty much OEM+, I guess I could say. Today was make the electrics work day...strip down the seat day. Pics to follow...

For the last two weeks it has rained every day! I feel like I'm back in the UK! Of course maybe not, we've also had constant thunderstorms and tornado watches. Maybe a combination of Kansas and the UK!:laugh: I'm having a rough time working on the bike in the drive, I REALLY need to clear out my...

:wtf: is there some Da Vinci code on removing and replacing the brake and clutch switches? This is getting ridiculous. I broke one of the tabs off the brake switch, now I'm having tough time trying to fit it to the new perch! :banghead: it may be the powder coat , but the holes too tight! I...

I have seen Clementine on here. Does anyone else name their bikes? I've thought of a name for mine, I'm calling her Expelliarmus.

Guys, am I correct in assuming that the rear brake pedal should NOT be rubbing the engine case?:wink2:

I looked and didn't find any threads about age. Who is the oldest rider on the forum? So how old are all of you? I'll go first. My 47th birthday is next month.

Lost two guys who used to work for me over the weekend. Both good guys and way too young! Remember that you are invisible to most of the idiot drivers on the road...

I can't find the answer to this question. My driveway slopes downward just a bit. Would it be better to change the oil with the front or rear of the bike facing the inline. Keep in mind, the incline is very slight. Do you think this would prevent a bit of the oil from coming out? I've never...

So I had this problem. Dead battery...So I bought a new one. I decided to try the starter and see if it would now turn over...Nothing. :shrug: I then tried the lights, horn, signals...Nothing. :wtf: Checked out the fuse box...I'm no expert, but this looks wrong... Besides the...

Myself and many other new owners seem to have a lot of tire confusion. I found this chart that I haven't seen anywhere else. If this is a duplicate, just delete it Mods. Thanks http://www.marshalldistributing.com/files/cross-reference/p10-42.pdf :bike:

Hello all, I removed the photo and reference to my brother. I want to make this thread about my intro and my bike. :) I'm Rob. I live near Philadelphia in South Jersey. Obviously not the channel island for you UK types. ;) I lived in the UK for a couple of years. I then spent 26 years in Law...
