I've been running a bicycle computer for two seasons. Not a problem. I installed mine with a small Neodymium magnet to get a more secure reading.

haha, why don't you know that drewpy! i thought I could rely on you. ;) let's play the waiting game and see if shamus chimes in.

couldn't shamus be talking about the Permanent Magnet Alternator Kit (PMA) that is used on the xs650s?

yep, I agree with drewpy. The z-bars complement the bike better. :) nice looking build!

how about cc-style? :D (great flick, check it out: ) ¨ what kind of bike you haulin?

ok, so this is no longer a bobber in that meaning I was going for when I began. But I like how it turned out. just added new tires to the mix. bt45s 3.50-18 up front and 130/90-16 on the rear. :D

probably a lean condition due to a crack in the boots. since you are replacing them that's what i would figure. if you wan't to learn more about the carbs, check out this carb guide: http://tinyurl.com/cvg9cgq

lifted my bike up off the ground, the winds have been crazy and my bike-cover must have turned into a sail and flipped the bike. must have been laying for a while, some oil spilled. was on my way to work, but the bike wouldnt start. so I had to run to the train instead and spent the day...

coming along nicely! digging how the seat hugs the fender

true that oledoc. :D thanks frwinks! got some more teaser pics, going to clean her up and put on some chrome bars before i'm satisfied. but she runs great and thats the main thing. Im still working on my xs650, you can check out http://motorsickle.blogg.se or my thread on chopcult...

spent all day putting her together, rode it home tonight. cold to the bone but totally worth it. more pics to come later.

so, i've been running a gel-battery for a year, 3ah. not a problem. been great and its small. but when putting the bike back together, I accidently shortened the battery against the +side and the mount broke. (due to tension and heat) so the battery is "dead". (it works but i can't connect it)...

some pics would be great! :)

thanks guys! yeah, i never check the weather report but that sounds sweet! haha. :) I hope to have it running this sunday. I work sunday afternoon though, so just a quick spin and then take her home the next week. but something tends to pop up, so we'll see. :)

Yeah, that was cool mhassic. :) its on its way, you should have it in a day or two. :bike: so here are some pics of whats been going on. Took the leather off of my seat and smashed it into place. :) Also made some new mounts to make it sit more flush. pretty happy with the...

:yikes: haha, you don't say. Im surprised it moves at all. :bike: i would change the chain and back sprocket as well, imagine what that chain must have been through, driven by that sprocket. haha but you probably already thought of that. :)

A little teaser of what i've been up to in the garage. should be roadworthy again within 2 weeks if everything goes according to plan. :)

Yeah! way to go man! i've set a two weeks notice on mine now. The urge to ride is getting the better of me.

way to go volcom! cool to see it in the sunlight. imho, don't use the fender, but a sissybar always look good. :)
