Anyone know of a place in Milwaukee that is reputable and does frame work? I want to have my rear frame modified with a hoop.

Just completed a build. 1981 special with stock front brakes, master and caliper. I did a rebuild of caliper with mikes parts. Master did not need rebuild. Using a braided eBay bought brake line. Got them bled, and the lever is super firm. There is no play at all. I pull in lever just a...

So I finished my bike and ran into a problem. Its a 1981 xs650 special with a XS750 tank. The tank is coated with caswell. The tank has two petcocks. Instead of the stock, I decided to use pingel petcocks with adaptor plates. The painter got my tins back to me and I proceeded to install petcocks...

Ordered the mikes clutch push screw assembly - aka worm gear. Got it all together and have an extra part. See bottom of picture- it's the little metal piece. Also, on another note, which clutch cable mount hole are people using? Mikes has two options. As the picture shows, you can see I used the...

Almost done with this damn bike after a complete rebuild and cafe conversion. I was having a slipping electric starter so I did the mod where I closed down the electric starter spring and then reassembled the right side cover. Prior to doing the mod, the kickstarter was working fine. Fast...

I ordered a short clutch cable and perch from MMM at 650central. It eliminates the metal elbow coming out of left side cover. When ordering, he told me about some special things you need to do when installing but it frankly didn't make sense at the time because I wasn't sitting in front of bike...

Got my bike back together and noticed an extra part. See pic below- part number 36- chain guide. How does that attach? Pics would be great if someone has one

Check out pic Is there supposed to be that much metal shaft showing between engine side cover and actual kickstarter? I ask because my starter gears seem to be missing when I use electric starter after a rebuild of motor. Just wondering if I installed kickstart mechanism wrong

I need one of those little boots that the wiring harness goes thru and it protects the bullet connectors inside it from weather. Hope this makes sense

Been studying all the diagrams and still have two questions. 1) can some please explain to me how the front and rear brake light switches work? Obviously I have the 10 amp fused power coming from the harness that goes to the brake light. I understand that. My front brake switch has a brown...

I am doing a simple wiring harness similar to the one shown below. I have allotted room and mounting space for a 4 place fuse box ( which i already purchased and mounted), and was wondering if I could get away with only 4 fuses. Was thinking one 20amp for the main fuse between battery and...

Looking to get opinions on whether or not I should ground my headlights, speedo lights, and start button to front of bike. Specifically, I was going to use a free threaded hole on the front of the lower triple tree that is not being used. I just wasn't sure if the front end always grounds back...

So I am simplifying my electrical and want to put a new starter solenoid in my 1981 special build. The stock one doesn't work. There are a million starter solenoids out there on ebay and the web and I am having a difficult time trying to fine one that is suited for the job. Can someone take a...

Reassembling bike and don't seem to recall where this ground connection goes. One end is attached to upper engine mount. Where does other end go?

Just got my frame back from powder. I removed the entire rear passenger footpeg mounts and the entire rear exhaust mounts. Got it powdered up nice and started reassembly. I couldn't for the life of me figure out where the hell the foot brake lever return spring attaches. I reviewed some old...

Just got my frame back from powder coat. What do I need to do to frame to make sure it's all grounded correctly? Ie, what contact points need to be scraped off?

So I am restoring my cl360 and am having an issue with the inside of tank. The bottom, inside had a thick layer of reddish, smelly coating on it. I can't tell if its varnished gas or some failed liner. It almost looked folded over in a few areas like it was a sheet of something. It was caked...
