Turned how? You are supposed to use the starter. turned with a wrench. Carbs off probably means cold engine. Depending on hone status, oil may have gone down since whenever. Nothing really significant. Yes cold engine carbs are in no condition to run gas through right now. I kept thinking I should ...

and the trunk

here are the pics

What would one want to see in terms of compression? I was checking out my bike today with my friend who brought over his compression tester he uses with his car, and with the adapter it seemed to fit right in to the plug on my bike. Each time I turned the engine fro the left side (stator side) I was...

Yeah it is all in rough shape with the carb, I might no be able to get away with a quick clean up. probably going to have to get the soak bucket and put it to use.

Here is what the carbs look like. Thought I had a pic of the float bowls but they just looked like they had the residue from dried up gas, pulled one of the jets and it looked good no gunk or clogged ports.

Yeah the XS400. Cool I think I will try to do something like that with mine eventually. Good tip on the clamps thanks. It looks good. Once I get it running I think I will got with them since my current tires are pretty trashed right now. How about that triangle plate on that bike? how did you make t...

It looks good. Once I get it running I think I will got with them since my current tires are pretty trashed right now. How about that triangle plate on that bike? how did you make that? I'm running the spitfires on my project. I only have the rear tire mounted right now but at least you could see wh...

I have a windjammer fairing I got with my bike when I picked it up and I will not be using it. If anyone is interested I can post pics. I have the matching trunk that can come with it. Let me know if you are interested.

I have a vetter windjammer that I will not be using if anyone is interested in it, I also have the matching trunk. I can post pics if anyone is interested. I am in southern Oregon.

Dumb question, but that number plate did you just cut it out of some sheet tin? How did it mount up? It looks great!

That looks awesome! I have no idea about the soundness of the frame and all that but I like the retro fitting of the new on the old. I was thinking of trying to find a dual shock swing arm set up so I could get the disc break and a 17" wheel without having to deal with spokes.

I think I like the s11 spitfires so far. I dont want to end up sending tires back.

Sooo is there any easy way to get 17" wheels on the bike even if it from a different model bike like a 250 ninja or something like that? I know it would not look great with the ninja wheels but it would be easier and cost less than all these other suggestions.

Hello all I have a 79 650 and it came with the carb off and most fuel lines and vent lines trashed. are they all the same size? how much of each am I going to need to set it all back up?
