 I'm building an XS roadracer for vintage class racing. I just finished the basic bike and started it for the first time a couple of weeks ago.
The chassis has the stock frame braced and trimmed of excess brackets and hardware and the stock swingarm was replaced by the similar, but larger diameter TX750 arm. Wheels are both 18" diameter with Avon racing rubber spooned on. The forks were reworked with cartridge emulators and air assist for improved response, the rear suspension has the top shock mounts moved forward to raise the rear for better weight distribution and is damped by vintage Fox Airshox, just to be cool.
Motor breathing is handled by a pair if 36mm Mikuni flat slide carbs on the intake and a 2-1 header flowing into a Shell racing megaphone that has a weak excuse for muffling built in.
The motor internals are stock at the moment, but I will soon add the Yamaha factory racing spec ported head with new valves and a race cam. The bore will also be increased to either 700cc or 750cc, to be determined soon. By early 2010 I hope to have this baby on the race track for track days so I can do final tuning and learn the ropes for future racing.

 Here is my newest bike build. I thought you might want it for your site. It is a 1980 XS motor with a custom built frame from the ground up. It has 2006 R1 front end with radial mounted brakes, R6 rear shock and spring, and Triumph singleside swingarm. The whole bike is finished in Line-X coating. It is for sale for $3,500.

 This is my 75 XS 650. I built an aluminum tank for it in the Wyotech streetrod class. My future plans for the bike are to Fabricate a swing arm of some sort and adapt a modern lightweight wheel to it.

 Here’s a picture of the “77 XS650 I picked up last fall. My plan is to build a “60’s style street scrambler. I’ve located a seat and have a proper spoke front wheel. I’m searching for other parts, (like points covers!) while we’re snowed in here in Ottawa.
