Riding home from a buddies last night, bike running very well. All of the sudden, black. Nothing. Coasted off to the side of the road and walked it to a safe place to work on it. Found the main 20A fuse blown. Got a lift to a gas station to get a replacement. Popped it in and it started...

Went for a cruise this evening. Bike started fine, like always. About 10 miles out I noticed that the RPM's were hanging around 3k, then would slowly drop back down to idle speed (I have my idle set at about 1500). I also noticed a bit more backfiring than normal on decel. No noticeable loss...

Anyone know the correct size and pitch of the chain tensioner bolts located on either side of the rear wheel. Previous owner must have swapped them out at some point and they do not match.

As the title says. I need to remove about 8" out of my speedo cable, possible? If not, what are my options? Having 8" of extra cable dangling around my front wheel does not sound safe to me.

Want to mess around with making a cafe seat for my 83, do not want to tear apart my perfectly good seat in doing so. Any condition as far as the padding and cover goes, good workable condition for the seat pan. PM me here. Must be willing to ship. p!nK

Looking to clean up my handle bars, using a bar end mirror so I do not need the threaded bungs on top of the clutch lever bracket. Thought about grinding it off and re-powder coating, but thought there might be a better alternative.... p!nK

Just seeing if anyone has one they are willing to part with before I either have one made, or buy one from Mikes. I would like a complete seat. I have a 83 special with a lift off seat. p!nK

Got on the bike this morning to go to work, started up like usual, backing it out of the garage, had the clutch pulled and the bike in gear, no problems. Let the clutch out half way to stop from hitting my wifes car while rolling back, worked fine. Went to pull the clutch back in and heard a...

I have had it with my current $13 eBay bar end mirror. I have loc-tited, expoxyed, JB welded, and even duct taped this thing to no prevail. Almost spilled the bike yesterday because I saw it was vibrating loose again and about to fall out. Looking around, I really see no middle ground on...

Noticed the front brake grinding a bit at the end of last season. I want to re-do the front brake setup for this coming spring. Looking for some feedback.... 1. Front rotor, thinking of going with the XS performance cross drilled. Will I need longer caliper bolts if I do? Any negatives on...

8pm from what I recall. Looks to be a cool show about cafe style bikes and riders..... My DVR is set. p!nK

Noticed this last weekend while taking a short day cruise (about 85 miles). My headlamp indicator light would light up when the engine was at say 3000 rpms or higher- seemed to get brighter as the rpms got higher. Everything else is working and running perfectly. Headlamp workes fine, not...

Found here: http://www.buildabikeinc.com/ anyone use this setup? heard anything about the company? It seems like the look I am going for, just wondering about tone and power gains if any. And yes, I have looked over the Omars setups, they are very nice and would probably be my next...

This has been happening ever since I got the bike a while back- lately it has become more annoying. Bike starts, idles, revs fine. Pull the kickstand, squeeze the clutch, put it in first- dies. Does this over and over, but only when the bike is cold or just started after sitting for an hour...

Looking to ditch the stock trumpet exhaust on my 650... I like the look of the 2-2 headpipes. Is there any difference between the MAC 1.5" headpipes and the XS Performance 1.5" headpipes? The only thing I can see is like 2" of length. The shape and build look very similar, if not...

Just got done installing drag bars on my '83 Heritage Special. Super straight forward job, took all of 30mins. Went for a test run and found my clutch to be slipping a bit (more so in 2nd and 3rd under load) and my idle seemed a bit low. I am guessing I need to shorten my clutch and throttle...
