I have a Canadian '80 Special and it came with 135 air jets, I have no reason not to believe that they are stock but I guess it is possible.

This could very well be the case.... and maybe a dumb question but given I didn't have time to investigate, if this is the case where would the gas have poured out from out of curiosity?

Thanks! I'll watch for it come spring but at this point I'll hope it was a one-off.

Hi everyone, I went to put my bike on my newly built table today so I dropped the battery in, turned on the manual petcock, turned around for a few minutes to get the table ready and let the carb bowls fill as I had emptied them at the end of the season, all of a sudden I smell gas, turn around...

So the ground on the battery terminal was maybe a half turn loose, I didn't think that it would be enough to create a poor connection but it appears that it fixed my issue, back to charging at a steady 14.5, out of curiosity could I have caused any further damage to anything from riding with the...

Hey guys, Bikes been running great for weeks but today I ran into an issue and I'm hoping for some insight or some first things to check. I have an on board voltmeter and it steadily has read 14.5 as it should. Today all of a sudden the bike started chugging as if it almost wanted to die but I...

Thanks, I'll definitely look into it!

Unfortunately the other side of the continent.... my closest US city would be Buffalo. This is an option I've been considering and have done before by getting something shipped to a UPS access point, thinking of it as a last resort at this point, but the condition of yours for $40 is tempting!

Hi Everyone, I'm looking for a stock, bolt on sissy bar for my 1980SG. The tricky part is that I'm in Canada and shipping from the US is basically a non-starter as it makes things too expensive. I'm not really sure what one of these goes for as there aren't really any on eBay. I'd like to be...

Hey @Jim is this sissy bar still available?

Thanks! Yeah it's an '80 and it has been a blast to get it to this state, finally wrench and ride after 2 years of mostly wrench.

Not a long ride today, only 35 or so miles but it was my first ride post carb jetting and I was able to find some new roads, even took her off the pavement a bit. Just a blast to ride!

Perfect, thanks, saved me from tearing into the left switches.

Yeah I'll take a look today. Also, yesterday my turn signals started turning off on their own, which made me think I have a loose connection but I started reading and now I'm questioning, does the 80SG actually have a self canceling feature that I had never noticed before or all of a sudden...

I know a plug chop is the best way to check spark plugs but any thoughts on these?
