    Everything about this is "Dope " What's really cool is that you are up front about using simple tools that most people can source and some imagination to complete the task! As time and funds increase then later comes the equipment upgrades. Just an "old" guy who works out of his garrage watching (2) younger guys making stuff happen! Cheers . Guy Speight

    I had a 1978 XS650 Special, good motorcycle. Sold it after getting a 1980 Sportster. Nice to see you guys building one.

    Put a two into 1 exhaust on to maximize benefits of 1 into 2 intake 👍

    I have searched for an XS650, along with other older Metrics. They're not easy to find here local. Especially after junk prices went stupid a few years ago. Used to see old Bikes nobody wanted everywhere behind sheds and garages.

      @@hardtailgarage6938 ok thanks for the quick reply I subbed yesterday. I'm doing the same thing but motor is Kawasaki 750 twin. I'm sitting beside it right now about to put a 190 main in after trying 170 and bogging out.
