Team, Ive had 2 different shops tell me they won't inspect my bike due to the hardtail frame. They werent really sure how to handle it & "didn't want to risk it". They both asked for a reconstructed title- which I do not have, just a standard title. I do not want to go thru the huge...

Team, Excuse any errors, typing this on the phone. I installed a pamco on my 80 last weekend. The bike actually ran great before.. would stall every now & then & liked to be warmed up.. sometimes hard starting, but still fairly easy. Anyway, install went great, wired up right. Auto...

Team, Ive been wanting some mag wheels for my 80 for awhile now.. My spokes are all rusty looking & don't clean up that nice.. I am currently running dual disc brakes on the front. EBC rotors.. A lot of the mag wheel pictures I see don't show mirrored mounting holes for a 2nd rotor...

Team, Looking for the small shiny cover which hides the nut for adjusting the clutch on the driverside engine case.. Maybe 2" in diameter, snaps into place.. Need a good looking one shipped to PA-19078 Let me know what you got.. I have an 80XS. Thanks! _marc

Team, Had my eye on the Pamco setups for a little while now & Im ready to buy.. 1 problem.. I can't figure out which one I should get !!! Checking out Mikes Page & Im seeing half a dozen different setups & Im not seeing a huge difference between most of them.. I have an 80...

Team, I installed new brake rotors this weekend, replacing my old warped XS1100 rotors. I realized that the new stock rotors don't have any holes or slots in them, so I can't use my disc-brake lock anymore !! When its in storage, I can chain it up, no worries.. However, when Im out &...

Team.. Changing my front rotors today on my bike, and I noticed the 2 long odd screws that hold the brake pads in were missing...pad retaining screws? Im wondering if they are necessary for proper operation.. Im kinda thinking they are, just need some more input.. Thanks for ANY...

DONE DEAL. THANKS !! I need 2 front brake rotors for my 80'. They MUST be flat & straight. I already have 3 rotors, but they are warped & it makes the whole bike shake when slowing down... Its difficult to get them cut & new ones cost hundreds of dollars.. I know someone has got some...

Team, Ive put about 250miles on the bike in the last few weeks after finishing a build. Runs great, However- Ive been noticing a small oil trail running down the left engine case after a good ride & Im having some issues pin pointing it. I can trace it up to the 1st 3-4 engine fins...

Team, I'm getting tired of lugging a backpack with me when riding to carry a small roll of tools for the bike.. Im looking into getting some sort of storage bag or compartment mounted somewhere.. Was checking out some fork bags.. They all seem really big or have HD logos and fringe...

Team, Just a generic question.. Whats your method for approaching red lights ?? Do you: Pull in the clutch & downshift to a lower gear, let out clutch & repeat until youre stopped & in 1st gear...

Team, I noticed some brake pulsing on the front brakes this past weekend. Upon further inspection, the brake rotors show uneven wear/braking surface. It looks like they may be warped... I can't find a place to purchase new rotors without spending $400+ for 2 of them.. Can our...

Team, Just finished up my 80. I noticed that I now have cruise control because the throttle does not return when released.. kinda throws me off some & I personally feel its a safety issue.. I derouted the throttle cable & just kinda draped it over the bike without running it through...

I recently ordered a set of really expensive custom brake lines.. They work & look awesome, However- When I measured for them, I failed the notice that the forks were not in the correct position. They are too short for me now. I figure someone will have a use for these.. I would hate them...

Hey team, I'm looking for the long bolt that passes thru the front down tubes. Holds that brace in front of the engine. I'm calling it the front motor mount bolt. There's 2 of them.. The top one is like 9 1/2" long. The bottom one is closer to 10 1/2" long. I need the bottom...

Hey gang, Curious to see if anyone shops @ a CycleGear store... ? I used to go to my local one every week when we were riding quads.. This was about a year or 2 ago.. I always noticed that the pricing wouldnt match the shelf when the item was rung up.. It would always be an extra dollar...

Team, I dont know how the hell this happened, but apparently I bought 2 taillights from 2 different people when I only needed one.. Not a cheap imitation, a good quality replica Model "A" taillight. Stainless steel body, glass lens with the STOP script, has tail light and brake light...

Team, Unfortunately, I do not have pictures- If I did, this question wouldnt exist !!! I have a 6" flat fender on my bike. It ends near the TOP of my rear wheel. I want to mount a taillight to the top of the fender facing backwards.. I want it to be flat & a few inches wide. Not...

Team, Finishing up my bike.. Gotta replace my lost & lousy looking intake manifolds/carb boots.. Definately looking at the aluminum ones, but I don't know if they will fit my bike or not.. I NEED YOUR HELP...

Hey all... Was down my shop yesterday and my friend from around the corner popped over because he heard some toys being brought out & cleaned up for winter.. He runs a small motorcycle business, building, repairing, inspection etc.. Old school, been working on bikes for 35 yrs etc, master...
