comes down to idle quite slow... low end running lean or was this a cold start?

@carsnwomen91 Cold start- great notice though!

Pretty bike,dude. Really, I ride Triumph and Harley chops and I'd like this for sport riding in the hills around here. Does she handle well? Did you build it yourself? Where'd you get the special tracker parts? Sorry for all the dumb questions, but I really like! Sanitary!!

@Mrtriumphchopper She runs great and handles great for a '79 XS650. I put in brass bushings in the swingarm and since this video new rear shocks. She does pretty good. Some of the parts came from OmarsDTR.com, some came from MikesXS.com. Thanks a bunch for the comments- she's a blast to ride!

I was diggin through my seemingly infinite amount of bike stuff in the garage and came across my old XS650 engine! What a blast from the not so long ago past! Mine was bored out to 700+cc, rephased 270 crank, street/strip mild cam grind for rephased crank, Mikuni 38mm carbs, massive porting job, way oversized valves, it honestly sounded alot like this bike! I think I am going for the "street tracker" build over the winter, thanks for the inspiration bro! You have a mighty fine machine!

@toctuning Thanks- lots of fun!

@pnutsandcorn: Sorry tough guy- It's hard to kick and hold the camera. Next time I'll kick it just for you.

They won the Championship in 78 and 79. King Kenny at the controls of course.

@claylubbers Indeed! I ended up going a little smaller and put together a CB360T street tracker. So much fun I can't even explain! Well, you probably know what I'm talking about! :)
