I have read somewhere on the internet about a guy that fitted a tank from a 650 dragstar onto his xv535,but i can't remember where the hell i found it,has anyone on here done it or know anyone that has?

If you do make one don't forget to show us a pic mate

Could you not use a washer on the side where the bolt would go through or find a piece of hollow bar to sleeve it down a bit?

Paul have a look at this one on ebay,looks pretty good for the money http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330450154771&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fshop.ebay.co.uk%3A80%2F%3F_from%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dp3984.m570.l1313%26_nkw%3D330450154771%26_sacat%3DSee-All-Categories%26_fvi%3D1&_rdc=1

Looking good mate,don't go with the twin dominator headlights though,they look good but trust me they throw out less light than a flickering candle,i soon swapped mine back

That so served the little shit right,it's just a shame he didn't land on his scrawny little head

I have read somewhere about filling it with water,but the thought of risking it still scares me lol

That's true mate

I can weld a bit lol,it's just the thought of welding a tank that seems a bit scary,don't want to blow my head off lmao

Does anyone know of a fabricator that can make me some mounting brackets and weld them onto a petrol tank for me in the Notts/Derby area,Or even remove the mounts from a spare tank i have and weld them onto another one? Cheers

I have replied buddy

Sent you a pm mate

What are the pipes you have on it now ABxv535?

No problem Ricky,let us know how you get on

It sounds to me like you mean the ignition coil,if you have a crack in it then when it get's damp or wet it will cause it to arc to earth,you need to replace the faulty coil and see if that cures the problem,i'm pretty sure it will.

That's a good idea about the partfinder sites mate,never gave that a thought

Thanks Ttaskmaster,i can't remember ever seeing any footboards secondhand for the 535 but i'll keep my eyes open lol

They are at 5b monk rd industrial estate Paul,i'm just getting my bike sorted after a few years off the road but i used to be at Matlock every sunday yes,i'll be back there when i'm on the road again,it's gotta be done lol

Thanks Cov,thinking about it that sounds about right mate

As you are in Alfreton mate have you tried custom Cruisers,i use them all the time because i'm pretty local to them too.

I am looking for a few parts for my xv535 but have noticed xvs650 one's are much cheaper,floorboards for one,will the 650 one's fit my xv535? I can't really see why they wouldn't but have any of you good folks interchanged bits between the 2 bikes?

I have pm'd you mate

I know the 535 tank question gets asked everywhere a lot,i know you could get a bigger tank conversion for the 535's but it only fitted i think pre 1989 with the dummy upper tank.My question is can the bigger tank be adapted to fit a 1991 model with the upper and lower tanks?

Hello folks,i have a 1991 xv535 and whilst the front brake is ok i would like to fit a better caliper.Does anyone know of an uprated caliper maybe twin pot that will fit? Cheers all.

Lol there's always one,i suppose i left myself wide open for that one drewpy
