      I might experiment with MikesXS knockoff emulators. I have RaceTech on my XS11. It’s not in the same league as progressive springs. For...

      I believe 18 ga will get the job done. Here is a link for tin plated wire. It should last 40 years or more if your bike doesn’t live...

      Don’t crimp and solder. Just make proper crimps, or solder. Don’t do both. Crimp connections are more resistant to breaking than solder...

      Your lower sidecover is missing. Heritage Specials have upper and lower sidecovers on each side. (1982 & 1983). The left lower is the...

      Ah. I thought they were six to eight inches shorter than the OEM springs. I could be remembering what I read on the XS11 forum rather...

      I’d love to know what it is. I could have use for it. I’d love to know how to remove dielectric grease as well. Contact cleaner doesn’t...
