Hi I have just bought two XS 500 b's.... I notice a couple of new people have this model too. I know the bike had its problems back in the day so having two should keep me on the road!!!

I want to put one back standard and go Brat style with the other, I hope to pick the experts brains at every opportunity!

:welcome: steve. watch those cyl heads for cracks

Thanks drewpy I got three cylinder heads already so I'll check them out tomorrow

I know that its vital to keep the oil clean to stop top end issues with this bike.

I have stripped the Dunstall rear sets and Rickman fairing off the complete bike today....I cannot believe how bloody heavy these bikes are!!! How can a two cylinder street sleeper weigh more than my old Fireblade <_<

Thats true drewpy quite amazing really

Well one persons junk is another persons Ebay bargain in my opinion :lol:

So to that end the Rickman half fairing and the rearsets with all their mounting bits will be sold on... Especially as I have just seen the price of the Firestone De Luxe Champion I want to put on the rear of the brat bike :blink:

I know this is an old thread, but I just found it. I dont suppose that you still have those rearsets?
