    Speedometer cable 90

    I’m having a clearance issue with my speedo cable. The aftermarket one not the o.e.m. My cable does not turn tight enough for me to get the headlight up high enough. I’ve seen cars with cable 90’s that turn them. I don’t know if the cable gauge/size between cars and bikes are the same. Or if...

    Inverted controls

    So, I’m thinking of doing inverted controls. But, and this is a juicy one. Has anyone ever installed them? Where does the clutch reservoir go! I’m assuming wired through the handlebars. Anything else you can add would be great.

    Speedometer 90 degree fitting

    I’m trying to bring my headlight bucket tight and high to the handle bars. But I could really use a connection that allows me to turn the cable. I see 90’s that attach to a car transmission, but not the back of a speedometer. Maybe I’m missing it, but... Please help.

    Customizing Headlight bucket

    I bought a pretty standard headlight bucket for my new led headlight. I don’t like the depth, and I don’t plan on jamming all the typical wires in it. So, I was wondering if anyone sliced off the back of one. Pros & Cons. Maybe a picture of the bucket afterwards. Been gone a while and really...

    Is my lower half warped?

    One side of my forks do not like going in. The right, slides in with a little dish soap, the other, about have to beat it in. You ever have one be warped? No screws in at all. Also, are the trees different for the 34 and 35 mm forks? That would suck. I would think so, but maybe not.

    Neck bearing questions

    So I got a set of roller bearing for my build. I was mocking them up to preassemble the bike and the cup on the bottom is really loose. The top seems to fit nice and tight, but not the bottom. And I like my bottoms tight. They came as a set so I'm confused. Am I missing something?
