Any problems with the rear tire getting hitting the seat over a big enough bump or worse the rear end of the rider? they look pretty close together in the pictures.

Sorry for the delay guys. More info right here. one frame is a 79 the other is an 80. both have swing arms. the 79 the rear loop of the sub frame has been trimmed off. On the 80 the sub frame loop was removed and the front portion of the sub frame (where the stock seat would sit) has been...

One frame is a 79 the other an 80. Neither have been chopped in half. 300 each or make an offer for both. I may throw in some other parts if you buy both. Ben Posted via Mobile

I am just seeing who is interested in a titled frame. I have two of them I am not sure of I will get around to using anytime soon. Neither of them have been chopped for hard tails. Anyone interested shoot me an offer I will get the titles out and verify the years and will send pictures. Ben

I dont do build threads, I just get in and work. Bike started out as a stock 1979 XS650, that I traded for a beat down snowmobile with a blown head gasket. After deciding to hardtail it I went with TC Bros, I will build my next one with a good friend looking over my shoulder. Engine is...

PMA from Hughs Handbuilt. Sparx Cap, Tc Bros Hardtail. Has a gas tank off of a 1975 CZ Jawa. I picked the tank because it sits low on the frame and the emblem in the side is rolled into the tank. Stock headlight with some trimmed down dirtbike handle bars. Seat is a LePera found at a swap...

Funny story for ya about naming a bike. I ran into someone I dont really care for at the grocery store one day. He asked how my bike way coming and I just simply replied with its done. He asked me what I had named it. I told him I never thought about it and didnt really care if it was...

Looks way better the the round one everyone does!!!!!!very nice!!! I am still curious why the other one broke the way it did.

I am no expert on the subject, but I noticed something. The piece broke around where it is welded to the two stantions that support it. Is it possible that when the piece was welded to the two stantions that it was heated up to much causing the metal to weaken across the piece. Look at it in...

I know on mine, the cases have never been split. with that said if the tranny is wrong it came from the factory like that.

I am the type of guy if I get burnt once from somebody I will go out of my way to not have to do business with them again. Doesnt matter the cost difference. That is the one thing I have ordered from Mikes, and it will be the last unless i do another 5th gear sometime,and then I will still try...

I am sure a machine shop can take care of it. I am glad that Hugh is a friend of mine, I was able to send it to him, he was going to look at it and determine what the best route is. It will be a bit before a solution is in sight since his shop flooded and needs to rebuild. C-los I will let...

ive heard great things about both. I have been persuaded to a Pamcoe by Hugh when I was visiting him in November. Its good to have friends like him that know way more then I could ever try to.

Ahh, I am not sure on the Boyer. I have a Pamcoe on mine. I will tell you what that Pam ignition is great. I seriously have one switch for everything, I start with the headlight on with no probelms, and save the weight of the battery.
