  1. Had this same issue happen to me recently Alex.......some scroat slashed my rear Bridgestone! :angry:

    Did get lucky & scored a used race tyre from a local bike shop where I used to work.......for only $40 :thumb:

    I'm still keen on starting a Moto-Militia to hunt down punks like this though! :angry:

  2. :welcome: to the forum Metal Hed

    That's where the points used to be on older XS's.....but as stated, it now houses the pick-up coil (Ignition)

    Had this same issue with an XS400 I used to own......I used JB Weld to fix the crack (from the inside).....

    You might be able to cure the stripped bolt.....by replacing it with a slightly longer one. :unsure:

  3. Had plans made all last week to tend to some overdue chores around home......but like usual.....the Ol' Lady changed everything @ the last moment.....& was NOT happy with me when I told her I was staying home from a trip to the beach that she expected every1 to comply to. :rolleyes:

    Finally got the nagging brake issue with my YamaHauler sorted :thumb: ......now I can start planning a retrieval trip to collect a 370 Bultaco Frontera for restoration.

    After pulling a bit of maintenance on the XT.....just couldn't resist taking advantage of the killer weather we've been bestowed with lately.....

    Nice views of 'Hood along the Clackamas......

    North fork Reservoir for a little more inspiration to get my Bayliner back in the drink.

    Other various views from the ride....

    Now WHY can't I live here?!..... :icon_sad:

    IF I lived there, I'd make it my mission to work from home! :D

    Definitely time to fill the aire with the Blue Hue again! :wub:

  5. Cross-Referencing is the key with these old Beasts.....

    I DO know that the brakes & wheels are interchangable with other XS's & some RD's. :thumb:

    Here's a great site for checking those part numbers, as well as having some fairly reasonable prices......MotoGrid

  6. Had a bumblebee land inside my helmet while doing 70mph once :blink: .....the bugger snuck in through the visor just being barely cracked open......buzzing around in my helmet, obviously was Madness....

    I was immedietly down through the gearbox & had my Seca parked in NO time! :D .....through the helmet off & surprisingly was NOT stung! :unsure:

    Just a bit of luck I reckon. ;)

  7. :welcome: to the forum Dirk

    Don't see too many of the XS500's around anymore :unsure: .....Plenty of 400's & 650's though! :rolleyes:

    Looks like you landed it for a pretty fair deal. ;)

    Like your FZR & the R5B too! :thumb:

  8. im not sure OGs pacemaker would be able to keep up when he see's that... :lol:

    But I bet his DT can outrun yours! :tounge:

    Just remember WF.......Old Age & Tretchery win out over Youth & Stupidity......EVERYTIME! :lol:
