Yamaha XS description
|
Up for auction is my 1978 Yamaha XS650 Bobber build. Matching frame and engine numbers. Clear title. Starts, runs and stops well. I am the third owner of this well maintained bike. I did all of the build off of the original XS650 Special. I have owned the motorcycle for 3 years. When I bought it the mileage read 23,000 miles. I have put approximately 100 miles on it. The after market speedometer reads 91 miles. Many
new aftermarket parts have been installed including Pamco Ignition (no points to adjust),
Anti-Gravity lithium battery, completely replaced old Yamaha wiring harness with new after market minimal wiring and fuse box, 34MM Mikuni Carburetors, Biltwell Seat, TC
Bros handlebars and foot pegs, new Low Brow customs ignition switch,
new grips, cables and controls, new front brake master cylinder, new copper painted headlight and bobber style rear tail light/license plate mount. Low
miles on new Firestone tires. Electric or kick start. I replaced the #4 starter gear and spring that are the cause of the notorious grinding starter, and she starts easily due to the Pamco ignition. This is a rider NOT A SHOW BIKE, although it did win "Best Bike" at a local builders bike show June 11, 2016! The Sportster tank has a small dent on right side near the top but retains the factory paint job. The frame paint, and wheels are rattle can but look good because I prepared the surfaces and primed them properly. The rear brake is a
little spongy but works fine. I have a brand new rear master cylinder that has not
been installed included in sale. This bike is a blast to ride and a head
turner. Questions are welcome and I have video of the bike running and being ridden.

Brammo Earns Seventh Place Against Gas Bikes
Mon, 06 May 2013This past weekend, Brammo arrived to Sonoma Raceway in Central California ready to do battle. Only this time the electric sportbike manufacturer would be trading blows not with other electric bikes, but with their ICE counterparts at the second round of the American Federation of Motorcyclists series — one of the oldest club racing organizations in the country. We recently mentioned Brammo’s eligibility with AFM, and this weekend was the first outing. Team Icon Brammo and its two riders Eric Bostrom and Steve Atlas competed on the Empulse RR machines while third rider, Shelina Moreda, rode the Team Parker Brammo Empulse TTX — a modified version of the road-legal Empulse.
GPify the Yamaha Fazer FZ8 with LeoVince
Mon, 05 Jul 2010Here is what LeoVince has to say about the new Fazer8 and FZ8 exhausts: Quick off the mark with 3 exhaust options launched for Yamaha's brand new 800cc Fazer and FZ8 models, LeoVince promise you less weight, better looks and improved performance. These new Fazers, with their R1 engines, albeit downgraded to a smaller 800cc capacity, have been designed by Yamaha to give more bottom end power. LeoVince have finely tuned their new slip-on GP-PRO and SBK-FACTORY exhausts to further increase both power and torque throughout the whole rev range, and endow the bike with a much improved sports sound - plus a removable db baffle for increased throatiness.
No snow here folks!
Fri, 31 Dec 2010An erratic work schedule combined with a full season of kids racing means, there aren’t many opportunities during the summer months for the Mackenzie family to grab a holiday. Instead, we tend to save our pennies and head off somewhere sunny for Christmas. I love doing this as it shortens the UK winter but more importantly it means I miss the festive frenzy. I do like Christmas, but I hate how everyone gets caught up in the retail madness that kicks off just before Halloween, then has everyone stressed (and skint)before Santa has even hitched up his sleigh.
