    Oil leak @ cam cover

    i have the same leak. been going on for a while now. plus i have the side pipes that are wrapped. so they love to get oil on them and smoke. but, looking at it, the three bolts behind the timing plate, holding the assembly on are super stripped out. so i gotta figure out how to get them out...

    Wanted - Kickstand spring

    Was getting wild the other day by doing some powerslides on a gravel road. ended up dragging my frame on a bump and broke off the little nipple that holds the kickstand spring on. Found the spring in the rocks. But it ended up falling out of my pocket on the ride home. Wondering if anyone has...

    DIY Suicide clutch with Jockey shifter

    oh yea, i also wired a neutral light into the top of my headlight when I did the foot clutch mod. It makes it 100% to learn the foot clutch. i HIGHLY suggest you think about doing a neutral light.

    DIY Suicide clutch with Jockey shifter

    ive never had a problem with heat from the pipes. i always ride with jeans (youre an idiot if you dont) and the pipe wrap does a great job of keeping the heat in. Ive riden this bike for 200+ mile stretches without noticing the heat. an aluminum shield would look badass, but its just not needed.

    DIY Suicide clutch with Jockey shifter

    i tried that. didnt work. the bolt would unthread no matter how tight i would get the jam nut. So I got a m8 coupling nut, put an m8 bolt thru it (without drilling out the threads) and threaded the end thru the helical gear. This bolt works as the clutch adjuster as it pushes against the ball...
