Now like (http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh231/archie837/7482A2B3-4D27-4C5E-BFA2-8ED0DA7005E0.jpg) (http://s257.photobucket.com/user/archie837/media/7482A2B3-4D27-4C5E-BFA2-8ED0DA7005E0.jpg.html) Just waiting to find out on some funds. Once they're here I can do a big splurge and get it finished. Just changed the bars and fitted some sparkly grips I had Title: Re: XS NO 2 Post by: Manky Monkey on November 12, 2016, 05:50:30 PM That's very nice Archie. Looks very useable. Good to see you back on these.

Title: Re: XS NO 2 Post by: Archie on November 19, 2016, 06:34:33 PM Hello Kev !
Standard rake and fork height. The hardtail is a TC Bros one which I think keeps it stock - http://www.tcbroschoppers.com/yamaha-xs650-weld-on-hardtail.html Says its a 3 inch stretch and 5 inch clearance Sitting on it is a much more chilled comfy feeling whereas the other one is quite an aggressive hooligan feeling Title: Re: XS NO 2 Post by: kapri on November 19, 2016, 09:33:47 PM Thanks for the info :)
Title: Re: XS NO 2 Post by: Archie on November 19, 2016, 11:11:30 PM Come try em out for size, be good to see you
Title: Re: XS NO 2 Post by: kapri on November 20, 2016, 10:37:12 AM So they come with stabilisers ?
Title: Re: XS NO 2 Post by: Archie on November 20, 2016, 10:41:22 AM Optional extras
Title: Re: XS NO 2 Post by: Archie on January 21, 2017, 03:55:17 PM Touched this one today. Swapped out the rubber handlebar risers with the solid ones from hughs handbuilt. Nice bits of kit. I was lazy and didn't take the top yoke off to fit them, which would of made it really really easy.

Especially as the sunnier weather is coming quickly. I've decided to get this one done as it was an on the road bike. So today I swapped the carbs I bought over onto it and hooked the throttle up. Full throttle = full open on the carbs so done lovely. I then gutted the wiring loom off of it ready for the one I bought the other day. It had an electronic ignition on it, but it's 20 30 years old and has massive components.
So in theory once I've fitted the wiring kit it should run. I also swapped out my footpeg mounts from the other bike too.

Title: Re: XS NO 2 Post by: Archie on February 28, 2017, 09:50:28 AM in a bit of a hole with this currently
I ordered up a new mudguard from barons speed shop (it's a mudguard not a fenderrrr) 1 week went by and nothing. I sent them through a message and got fobbed off by they have a system error which doesn't let them see what's ordered. We are now 4 weeks down the line with them not responding to emails or answer phone messages - no contact at all, so don't know if something serious has happened. Luckily i've paid through paypal, but will have to wait until the 7th of march before they make a decision on if I get a refund or not. bit irritated as I could have spent the same money getting it from the states and had it in 2 /3 days. Title: Re: XS NO 2 Post by: BikerGran on February 28, 2017, 10:45:28 AM Nothing on their Facebook page since December. Or on the 'news' page on the website. :-\
Title: Re: XS NO 2 Post by: Manky Monkey on February 28, 2017, 01:42:16 PM That's surprising -I thought they were one of the good businesses. Hope they sort it for you Archie.
Title: Re: XS NO 2 Post by: Archie on April 11, 2017, 10:24:22 PM Never did get sorted but got the money back. After spending a lot of time looking I decided to go with a cooper smithing rear guard. I ordered it from lowbrow in the states Friday afternoon and it was with me Monday morning. Fantastic service. The guard is lovely, really nicely made and fits the tyre great.
(http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh231/archie837/F0480ADF-FA53-4B3C-9CB5-02C51A15F422.jpg) (http://s257.photobucket.com/user/archie837/media/F0480ADF-FA53-4B3C-9CB5-02C51A15F422.jpg.html) Now I need to figure out how to mount it as I don't really want to run a sissy bar or rear supports. I've been umming and ahhing over this tank for a while and I'm pretty sure I don't like it, so will change that too. I think it makes the lines too steep and makes the bike look real short. I tried on the other tank I have and much prefer the look so will sort another one out soon for it. (http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh231/archie837/6E37AA6D-563A-4831-87A8-5BE175722F30.jpg) (http://s257.photobucket.com/user/archie837/media/6E37AA6D-563A-4831-87A8-5BE175722F30.jpg.html) Need to get it done! Seems close. Title: Re: XS NO 2 Post by: Manky Monkey on April 12, 2017, 10:17:44 AM I'm just about to order a PMA alternator set-up from Low Brow, so that's encouraging.
Have to agree about the tank Archie. It's quite a short looking frame anyway, (quite a steep seat rail angle from the photo), & that tank accentuates it. Looking nice though mate. Title: Re: XS NO 2 Post by: Archie on April 25, 2017, 07:53:58 PM So I ordered up a new tank with a high tunnel.
(http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh231/archie837/E477E5DF-9343-430D-936C-5674F3B40A94.jpg) (http://s257.photobucket.com/user/archie837/media/E477E5DF-9343-430D-936C-5674F3B40A94.jpg.html) Mocked up on the bike with the guard and smaller seat from the other Xs. Pretty much there with the lines now. To get the tank on I've had to chop the front guessets on the frame about a bit. Once it's at strip down I can even it all up a bit. But for now looks ok. Just need to mount the mudguard properly.

Love this, want it!!! Title: Re: XS NO 2 Post by: Archie on June 11, 2017, 06:50:13 PM I've lost a bit of motivation for these while our house purchasbia going through. I went up today to put some miles on the 1100, and had a seat to try as I've never really been happy with the 2 I've got. Lo and behold much better - looks how I want it too. Has given me a little splurge of enthusiasm again.

Title: Re: XS NO 2 Post by: Archie on June 05, 2018, 06:08:47 PM Just too many on the go, main one being the house. Plus lucky enough to have 2 bikes on the road to ride and a missus who likes to do stuff.
Sacrifice working on stuff for having fun sometimes. Title: Re: XS NO 2 Post by: Archie on June 16, 2018, 03:58:11 PM Had a quick one this afternoon with Tom on the bike as I was home bound on god/guide parent duty
The new flywheel puller came the other day so off came the old stator in a jiffy. Then most impressively the wiring kit that I have is pretty much all plug and play so was wired in minutes. Quick kick over and spark at both plugs, so nipped out and got some carb cleaner, which fired straight into the mouths and 2nd kick up she went! Very cool hour or so spent playing. Very satisfying to know the bike works still. Jobs left to do are mount the tank, get some front lines made and double check the timing as it was kicking back a bit. 2 very happy boys in the garage this afternoon Title: Re: XS NO 2 Post by: Manky Monkey on June 16, 2018, 05:30:26 PM Woo hoo! :)

Title: Re: XS NO 2 Post by: Archie on October 23, 2018, 05:27:22 PM Forgot to update this. Have had it running off a bag no problem at all. Need to get the timing fine tuned though, then can get the clutch cover back together and start to hide the wiring etc.
It’s taken a back seat as we’ve been going hard on the house. Should get the bathroom in this weekend and then be freed up a bit more again Title: Re: XS NO 2 Post by: Manky Monkey on October 23, 2018, 07:30:07 PM Hello mate :)

Title: Re: XS NO 2 Post by: Archie on July 18, 2019, 05:59:34 AM Nice step forward last night.
One of the issues was with the tank I was runnning being a lower mount it used to hit on the top engine mount nuts and not actually fit. Me and a buddy last night machined up 2 threaded inserts so the mount could be countersunk from each end. It’s worked really well and now the tank is on properly which is awesome. Just need to pull my finger out and run the wiring properly next (https://i.ibb.co/NY0w4j9/313-A8-A22-DA01-4-F95-838-E-E6300-FCA1-FA3.jpg) (https://ibb.co/pXHCmzf) (https://i.ibb.co/F5tCny4/FC437-DC3-BB1-D-4-D3-B-9-CDA-6-ED400774-F0-C.jpg) (https://ibb.co/2vBH5C3) (https://i.ibb.co/vhXLY8g/C2-CCE2-F6-AA29-4-E67-8-CDB-67-B844-A7-F6-C9.jpg) (https://ibb.co/kJmq1Fk) (https://i.ibb.co/56QyY75/5-F6-C5374-58-FD-4-D67-ABC6-ECAF5-E257-CAA.jpg) (https://ibb.co/pxH8Wm3) <a target='_blank' href='https://imgbb.com/'>upload png[/url] Title: Re: XS NO 2 Post by: Manky Monkey on July 18, 2019, 08:27:27 AM That sits nicely now mate.
Title: Re: XS NO 2 Post by: Archie on July 18, 2019, 10:37:36 AM getting there, although that might be it until after the wedding now
I didn't get a picture but junked the front mudguard and it looks way better without it, although I think the forks could do with a couple inches of lowering as well along with a 21 in the front instead of the 18 Title: Re: XS NO 2 Post by: Manky Monkey on July 18, 2019, 03:20:19 PM Bike parts as wedding gifts then :)
Title: Re: XS NO 2 Post by: Archie on July 24, 2019, 07:39:07 PM Maybe!
Put the clutch cover on and seem to be able to get all the gears. Lost the front guard and think it looks better but will be a pain in the wet like the old one. Need some brake lines, finish / hide the wiring and some small tidying up and it’s pretty much there (https://i.ibb.co/X4vNdk8/509-B0822-CC71-4-BAB-A932-477-B9-CBC1-D7-C.jpg) (https://ibb.co/dcz13Jg) (https://i.ibb.co/LS4rWDs/77-C4-F950-D44-F-4837-8539-6914-B3-F2-A68-F.jpg) (https://ibb.co/fMm95VT) Title: Re: XS NO 2 Post by: Manky Monkey on July 25, 2019, 08:28:33 AM Lookin' good!
Title: Re: XS NO 2 Post by: Archie on February 09, 2020, 09:11:08 AM Dug this out yesterday fir a play. Tom came over as well which was cool to see him.
We got it running last year and I’ve not touched it since really. Hooked up the temporary fuel tank and it fired up 2nd kick. It has highlighted that it needs a much less antisocial exhaust setup on it as those shotgun shorties are way too much. But yeah span it up and down the road a couple of times and it goes pretty well - the carb setup is supposed to give quite a big increase in power and it certainly felt like it. Tom took a couple of videos but I can’t see anywhere to embed them. I also went through some of the parts I had and luckily had 2 taps to suit the fuel tank. If been looking at some from the states which were neat, but about £100 each. So that was a result. Things to do are not much really, lower the forks by an inch, front brake lines, new exhaust, switchgear and wire it.

Had the pro fit a new throttle to it I got fir me burfday the other day. I’d been too tight to buy a biltwell whiskey throttle, so bought an amal copy. It wasn’t great, so the mother in law got us the biltwell one. So much better! The cable locates properly and it has a roller bearing in it so Is a nice action.

Those Amal copy throttles are awful. The originals weren't fantastic but the new ones.... Title: Re: XS NO 2 Post by: Manky Monkey on October 06, 2020, 12:54:20 PM Happy belated birthday mate!
A wife that's happy to work on your bike's a rare gem :) Title: Re: XS NO 2 Post by: Archie on October 17, 2020, 08:27:01 AM Yeah, I’ll be calling for her help later to fit some bars that sumo at vintage chop made for me. She says I won’t know how to fit them.
The existing ones are pitbike bars which I thought were ok, but they’re just dead straight and a bit sh1t in all honesty. I guess the bikes turning out nicer than I could have done years ago, so these should hopefully finish it a bit nicer (https://i.ibb.co/hHz1VV4/126820-C8-1-EA1-483-F-A483-BB26-A5-F4-D421.jpg) (https://ibb.co/5vHxLLS) <a target='_blank' href='https://imgbb.com/'>pic uploader[/url] Excuse my messy desk. Great service from Sumo - spoke to him and paid him on the Friday, they were made for me on Monday and delivered a couple days later. Cost me about £115 all in which is a bloody bargain Title: Re: XS NO 2 Post by: Manky Monkey on October 17, 2020, 08:48:47 AM Nice. Never met him, (he was a forum member here for a while), but always heard good things about him.
I've never had a pair of bars tailor-made for me. Cool. Title: Re: XS NO 2 Post by: Archie on October 18, 2020, 07:47:07 PM Didn’t take into account needing bolts to fit them so just cable tied in place till tomorrow

Title: Re: XS NO 2 Post by: Archie on April 22, 2021, 08:15:05 PM October last year! Christ!
Bars pretty much bolted up properly now. Addressed an annoyance with a new part today. The seat bracket / pivoty bit was so cheap it bent on the end where it pivots. Not much cop really. I found on eBay a reasonably priced heavy duty one so started to fit that up. Difference in quality is massive. I need to chop the existing front mount off the frame and weld this one on, but it should be a little job ticked off.

I had to chop down the seat bracket a bit so it fitted better on the frame tubing. In the process of doing so the grinder snatched and hit me in the leg. Luckily the disc shattered before digging in, but I’ve got a wicked bruise coming.
