Lol! I knew I recognized u thiessen! Instagram is now public

Thought I'd update, got the holes drilled for my fender and sissybar...did the backbone to replace the monostrut, went with 12" eye to eye, next will be the carb boiling and cleaning....installed a speedo and tach from xs650direct. Used the original mounts, modded it and made it work I have...

So at the beginning of this Canadian winter, I'd known but how to change my turn signals(crapily) and how to do an oil change, next to chain cleaning and maintenance...that's pretty much all I'd known til I'd really started reading on this forum, I'd learned plenty here and want to share lol the...

So I installed a new speedo and tach I ordered from xs650direct. Speedo is LED...the stock has both signals, as this speedo has just one...I just merged the wires and connected them...so either signal and both sides, all four blinkers flash, ---*---*---* medium pause with quick flash. Now my...

I just got the Mac 2-1 exhaust! Still on the fence about the gasket set this winter...I just feel like I might as well when I throw on the Mac....head gasket is barely leaking....gonna do my homework on that manual before I go ahead n install the Mac just yet.... Could anybody help me with what...

Did u fix that missing spark?

And mines the dohc

So what r the suggested sizes for my bike with the pods and 2-1MAC...although I'm thinking about fabricating one myself and wrapping it

The kit has the 45 pilots...will those be ok? And I guess I'll order those main jets in 142.5

Large round type? Small round type? Large hex type? Is it the large round type? Looks like what came in the jet kit...which only came with paired pilots, and singles main jets...

Is this what u mean? http://www.xs650direct.com/products-38.html I'm not sure what size to get...I've read another member using 140 with their pod filters...any idea what range of size I should go with? I'm planning on ordering that MAC 2-1 exhaust as well with the pods...I was thinking 140...

Right! I was thinking of going with a tube/cylinder type "oil tank" for the electrics...could I put the rect on the bottom or behind it, and the battery right under...what could I do to keep it guarded from the elements, with enough air flow? I was thinking a sheet metal box with vents...

That's what I thought, I read it on another thread, just wanted to be sure, now as for the electricals, do I need to get new components for the rewiring or can I just jam it all into a mock oil tank ?

This is my ride

Yeah, I've got the dohc, now do I need to run with equal jets with the pod filters? Or will I keep the difference?

U guys r lots of help, I'm pretty excited to throw these pod filters on! So I just opened up the jet kit, and the jets aren't in pairs...it came with 2 pilots 45, 122.5, 127.5, 132.5, and 137.5 one of each main...needle shims and nylon spacers came with it too and 2 drill bits...do I have...

So my bike doesn't have a kick start, is it possible to install? And how?

And that little filter for the crankcase vent...that would require cleaning pretty often right? I mean, only guessing cuz it's exhaust right?

Also, what kind of benefits would be achieved with these pod filters and jet kit, 2-1 exhaust and crankcase vent? In or out of recirculation?
