    Bobbers and choppers everywhere.

    I am working on building a cafe xs and a tracker GR, and the problem is, no one has any ideas. There is 10 guys in my hood who want to build choppers and bobbers and a few who already have.

    No spark on an 81 special 2

    The bike isn't making spark, I've checked and cleaned all the connections. However I dont know if the relays on the right side are any good, and the left side relays - I got rid of the side stand relay, and not sure about the other one. I'd ideally like to bypass that relay with a jumper, and...
