perfect. Thanks.

So I've settled on YSS 350mm shocks for my build but I'm having difficulty settling on new springs for my forks. The problem is I have a '75 with 34mm forks. I understand I'm not gonna get 35mm performance because I can't get cartridge emulators but if I'm not opposed to spending some cash shays...

It was running fine until about a month ago when I found my electrical system was made up of wads of melted plastic and metal instead of wire. I get the new wiring ruffed in and it was while sticking my finger in the plug hole to find the compression stroke for timing I noticed the right one...

Those are my compression readings on my cylinders. So... I need a rebuild?

So I pull the plug on the headlight and tail light and it kicks second try. But it wont run right its backfiring when I give it gas. Looking at the back wheel I see its been leaking oil on to the chain and spitting oil everywhere. I haven't pulled the cover off yet but it could only be coming...

I was flying home. I was doing 80. I think if was going to charge it would have. I wanted the upgrade kit mentioned above anyway. I think this is my excuse to shell out the cash and do it so I don't have to worry about it again. Funny thing is when I had the cover off yesterday I thought I...

So on my way home my headlight was kind of dim but the bike was running fine. About half way home however it starts bucking like hitting neutral then going back into gear. At this point I realized the headlight is really dim even with the highbeam on. Anyway it dies. I pop the the clutch and get...

Thank you Leo. That's exactly what I was trying to say. :)

It's only overated on a machine designed to do it with ease. It's a riot on this bike.
