It has been a few years since I have been on the forum. I am back, looking for advice. My bike has been running great for years, but sat over...
I havn't signed on in a while, but when I pulled my carbs off last week, and part of the intake boots came with them, I remembered that I had...
That is what I had to do with my bike. It hadn't been titled in seven years. The guy I bought it from found out who his dad bought it from. I...
Just read the description for one of the tachs on Mike's XS. It says "Tach functions only with single dual output type ignition coils" I think...
Check ebay for mini tachs and speedos. I don't run a tach, just a mini speedo from ebay. Checked it with the GPS and it is spot on. I had to...

Man that engine looks good. I havn't been able to get mine to shine like that. Don't know if you have seen my bike. I saw you were thinking...
I have a 650 grab bar if you are interested.
I don't believe those deer whistles work. I know a guy that runs a body shop, and he says he has worked on many cars that have hit a deer with...
I don't think it is oil fouled. Oil fouled plugs are usually more shinny. That looks like Carbon to me.
Sounds good, I'll check out the slider. I know for a fact the line isn't pinched, or installed incorrectly. The problem is, I don't know...
Alright Fellas, I have a question. When I lean my bike over to the left and turn the wheel while pusing it, the front brake grabs enough to...
Just a note.... I don't know if any of you have had any problems with Craftsman taking back their tools, but I have a friend who took a 3/8 drive...
Ether. I'd give it a small squirt into the air box. If it starts with that, it's still a fuel problem. If it doesn't then who knows. Make sure...
Could you tell me where to get some of it? I want some better foam for my next seat.
That's a good site to use to make the seat, but it is missing some stuff. Get some aluminum tape, the kind used for duct work(not duck or duct...
Making a seat is the best way to go. Isn't all that hard either. Take a look at mine in my gallery. I am still planning on making another, and...
just don't use some of your plumbing pipe, j/k.... sorry to hear about the crash man. Hope you ain't scabbed up too bad.
I can't say I hate it... and I like the red rims with the whitewalls, but... I couldn't get used to that seat. yeah.... exhaust is ok... but I...
That is freakin awful, but it doesn't supprize me one bit. When I was building my house last year, some copper theifs hit me. I did all of my...
Not much to it, but you will have to use a chain breaker (or what ever that tool is called) to pop a link out of the timing chain. I'd say tie a...
If you want to run sythetic oil, Mobil 1 makes oil for a wet clutch. They have some 20-50 that they call V-Twin Oil. Basicly it is made for an...
Yeah a battery can be a bomb. I started my dads truck a few years ago, and it sounded like a bomb blew up under the hood. Opened the hood, and...
My rear brakes were comming apart on my bike when I bought it. It had been sitting for 7 years. I was going to replace them even if they looked...
use a relay. Power to the light cuts the relay on, sends the power you need to the pump. When the light goes out, the pump will go off. This...
I didn't know you could get shocks that short. Not a bad deal on them either. Mine are either 10 or 10 1/2 eye to eye, I can't remember. Take...
I want a wider tire too.... just don't think I can bring myself to put a car tire on the bike.
205mm = 8.07inches still mighty wide
Pictures of the Headers?
Re: Lowering my XJ750RJ SECA I put shocks from a honda 250 rebel on my maxim. They are 10 1/2 eye to eye. I heard that the 11 inch sportster...
Looks great man. I think you should make up a couple of sets and try to sell them on ebay. Just a thought.... I had a problem with my rear...
2nd that I've done it with a winter coat zipped all the way up, leather gloves, hat on backwards, and a face shield. I had sand in my ears for a...

My new Fishtails connected to my homemade exhaust. I love them. Sound great, and to me couldn't look any better.
heat, heat, and more heat. That doesn't mean cut the cylinder in half with a torch. but I heated mine for at least 10 minutes with a propane...
I almost bought one about a year ago, but didn't because of the shape it was in and the price. I think you should be able to get parts for it on...
10-4 that's what I wanted to know.
My sight glass doesn't have any visible marks on it. I always keep the oil about half way up the sight glass, but I just read a post that it...
the joint between the shifter and jocky shift would have to be able to slide up and down, longer and shorter
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HARLEY-J ... ccessories might be able to rig this to work. It might not be the best Idea, but the fact is it...
Re: Foot clutch on a maxim? I think it would be cool. I think you would need to find one and make it work. I imagine you would be the first to...
If the Kroil works for the fork caps let me know. Mine are the same way.
check for the clamps that hold carbs to intake boots. Everytime I have put my carbs back on my bike, it does this, and I finally figure out that...
I have one exactly like that. Mine is from harbor freight. I love it. You have to move the plug around and tilt it side to side a little, but...
Google "making a fiberglass seat pan". You will find alot of sites about how to make one. I can't find the exact site I looked at the first...
I googled the seat making site, and didn't come across it. It isn't too hard though. I'll open a new forum soon and explain the process, and...
I found them on ebay. The only thing I had to change was the front break line, and when I put a new one on it with the drag bars, I bought one...
Here is a side view. I had originally planned on raking it, longer forks, and a different tank, but I chickend out, and money ran out. Looks...
