I got a new master cylinder (i believe off a quad), that relocates the output shaft of the brake line.

I haven’t posted any on this site. I’m working on a 75 hardtail and a 79 bratstyle at the moment and they should be up within a month or so. This site is the most bitchin place for feedback and ideas. I can email or text you some current pics. I have a pile of stock and aftermarket parts also. Keep up the good work!

This is cool! I am in the “dream” stage, saving money for a donor bike. I want to extend the swingarm of my project. How does the bike handle with the extended swingarm?

Yeah I live in Eugene and have built a few xs650s. These bikes are a blast. I’m on this site at least twice a day.

I got the bike for $260 off ebay as a rolling bike, but mostly a basket case. The only think that was done on it was the extended swing arm, and it is extended 4″. Is there any xs riders that live in Oregon?

Im the same way… broke and too many projects.
Bike is looking good. Did you extend the swingarm yourself? How much has the been lengthened?
