hope the day comes when you learn not to wear sneakers when kick starting a bike

Thanks for the ride-along. We did Cranberry Lake Rd last weekend, what a fun road that is! Adding that to my repeat list, for sure.

Very wet :-)

In a similar situation as you, am planning to do the Silver Adv class (single cylinder) with my DR650. My intention is to use it as a learning experience and know the gap in both my fitness and skill level as well as DR’s limitations for such/rally-raid kinda events. I would love to catch-up and take some notes from you about your takeaways and any advice that you may have for me. I am in Toronto and ready to drive/ride within Ontario for a meetup. Lemme know if its possible for you. Great video and details. Thanks for sharing!!

I have a number short films of airshows from the same timeframe that I'm digitizing and will upload soon.

Also great to see Charlie Gene and Tom In their pitts Along with joe Hues and the supersteerin looks like Gordon on top of the wing. Or Johnny Great to see All these guys brings back a lot of memories and a lot of fun times .

Art scholl and the chipmunk will live on forever high flight art.

Weird waddling sound. The seat looks like a real ball killer.

Nice video! (I even got a cameo in it. 👍🏻)

Tough !

I feel like I had a filming crew following me, very good quality footage. What camera did you use?

Don't try that with a Lucas ignition!! She sounds great. Is it as smooth as it looks and sounds with the re-phase?

It was diseased and at risk of falling over for anyone who doesn’t know how hard Toronto makes it to remove a tree. Have to have them checked and cleared for removal or face massive fines.

That’s wicked man

Love your bike man

Beautiful!

lol....i hear that pink panther tune...da-dant da-dant

Damn - you're 100% right on that. Now I'll never be able to ride it again without seeing the face!

Old British slang for 100MPH. Come visit us at DO THE TON (Google it - I can't post a link in a comment here).

what does TON mean?

Im aware of the piston having valve reliefs, just wanted to make sure nothing touches. lol. I am going a bit over 750 and want to keep stock diameter valves and maybe reduce the intake diameter a bit. Anyways thanks for the help.

It was a whole package I worked out with Ryan for the ported head with the titanium valve train, rephased crank etc. so you're best off talking to him about it. No clearance issues at all - the XS pistons have big valve reliefs cut into them, and the 750cc pistons I used have larger than normal valve pockets to accommodate the larger intakes.

If you do not mind me asking how much did guides, valves, caps and keepers run you?

I looked up your build. Nice work. My only concern is the valves. Ive turned down Ti valves to OEM spec but yours are not only oversized but by the picture the intake is not dished (piston relief).Any contact there?

If you search for Tim XS650 750cc you'll find it - topic #448 (I started the build in 2007)

Ive done the same. Just have to cut some valves about 40mm shorter and turn them till they meet oem specs. Ive just never heard of anyone having them on the shelf. Whats the name of your thread? I looked at the forum and its pretty cool

Check in with Ryan at 707Racing (can't post the link here). He did the head work and rephased the crank. It has titanium valves and retainers sourced from NASCAR, as well as custom milled bronze valve guides. You can read all the gory detail over at DO THE TON (easy to find) the biggest cafe racer website out there (I run it).

Who supplies Ti valves for these motors? Do you have the Ti valves or just the Ti spring caps? Did you degree your #1 cam after install?

It's a 1972 Yamaha XS1b (early XS650) frame with a 1984 XS650 engine that has been significantly modified. The tank is a custom aluminum Manx replica as is the seat. Not much is stock on the bike. You can see all the details on our site - dotheton com (UA-cam doesn't allow the posting of links).

What year model is the bike/

Beautiful bike man,very beautiful!

In theory it is smoother than stock. But I went from a bone stock rebuilt motor to the fully kitted out rephased motor with the ported head, 750 kit and hot cam, so it's apples and oranges. It runs awesome. I might have done something bad running it in Alabama in October for the annual DO THE TON Mama Tried get together coinciding with the Barber Vintage Festival. Got it up to 120mph at about 9000 RPM and it's smoking a bit out the left now. Will tear into it and see what I did :)

Now, how sweet is that!? Second stomp, huh? Is it just me or is a rephased engine running smoother?

feels good just sitting here and watching it

You bet! Watch for the 2012 videos to come shortly. Just got home from the weekend with Dime City Cycles, Loaded Gun Customs and more at the Ace Corner - Barber Vintage Festival in Alabama. In 2012 the XS650 got a hopped up 750cc rephased ported head titanium valved race cam engine :D

Is the bike with the camera xs650?If it isn't what is it?

I should of course also mention we're all returning to Alabama in 2 weeks for the 8th annual Barber Vintage Festival and will be setting up the Ace Corner with Dime City Cycles, the Ace Cafe out of London England, Iron & Air and many other awesome participants. Just do a simple search and you'll find the details.

I def will, thanks for the info :)

That's so cool. My town needs a cafe racer group. I'm one of three people with a cafe racer :/ Harley Davidson's dominate my city -__-

superbes images,bravo !!!!!!

Thanks... nice bike and ride.

Not sure what you mean. Do you mean how fast is the bike now? We'll find out next month in Alabama at the Barber Vintage Festival / DO THE TON get together :D

how fast have you gotten your xs rephased?

Tank is a custom one-off replica of a Norton Manx racing tank. If you want to know more about this bike and where to get a tank etc. Google us at DO THE TON (can't past a link here)

Excllent looking machine, Congratulations. What tank is that?
