It's time to out new shoes on my 81 cafe. I was looking at the tire sizes and saw that the rear tire said tubeless while the front said tubed. I'm assuming front and rear will take both? They're spoked wheels btw

Probably didn't search hard enough but where can I get tail/brake light like this?? Thanks

Have an 81, bs34. Left plug has been sooty while the right side is brown. Looking around and found the left choke nut backed out. I know the spring is giving tension to the plunger but is it enough to cause a rich mixture?

Hey all been doing research on my right exhaust popping on my 81. So far I've removed the brass plug and adjusted the mixtures out but hadn't fired it up since it was 2am. Anyway I ran across a post stating that the pilot plug was one of the issues. Is this possible? I was just wondering cuz...

I've been holding off on this ad for a while now in hopes that I can find the time to finish but it looks like it wont happen... It started out as a bobber and after riding it for a summer I decided to go the cafe route. All last winter I worked on it and suddenly stopped progression this...

A guy I buy metal from informed me that his shaft driven XS750 is up for sale. It would take A LOT to get it road worthy. It would be a parts bike. Is there anything that can be swapped over to a 650? He's asking 100.

Is there any way to remove the spring on a '80 Special? The shock body needs a little paint. Thanks

Hey all I've posted this issue once before but I did not give much info. Once the the bike warms up the RPMs will rise a little and then I hear a "PFFT" then the bike almost dies but recovers the RPMs. I finally saw a puff of smoke come out of the carb. Ok so I have a lean condition? BUT the...

I've been looking all over my local parts store for Autolite XS62 or NGK BR8EIX (the ones that come with the PAMCO)... I was successful in finding the NGK BUT it was the BR9.... The only difference between the two are the heat ranges. The BR9 is a colder plug. What can happen running a colder plug?

Dunno am I missing a step? I loosen the adjuster at the lever all the way, then the lock nut at the case. I turn the adjustment screw till it makes contact with the rod then back out 1/4 turn. Snug the lock nut then adjust the clutch lever till theres 1/4" play. I've done this step countless...

Hey guys I went out on my second ride today. While idling at a light the motor shakes and the rpms go up slightly then drops down. Running straight pipes, VM34 and pods. I thought it may be the throttle sticking but it'll happen after sitting for a while at the light. On a VM34 do you turn...

Pretty stoked right now! Finished my scoot a couple of weeks ago and all I've had was disappointments. I'd kick and kick and it finally would sputter to life. Then once I throttle up past 1000rpm it would run like dog piss (started threads on these issues BTW). At first my small battery was...

Anyone know how to charge these tiny batteries (12v/0.8a)? I have a car charger that has an 8v/10a setting. Not well versed in battery charging. Googled it and could not find anything.

My right leg is taking a beating. I kick and kick and eventually run. It seems like it only does this when it sits for a while. The timing is spot on. Could this be a carb issue thats fouling the plugs? Thanks Set up: Pamco/Banshee Kick only Tripple I battery...

Hello all. My '81 is close to hit the road but ran into a little snag when I fired it up this morning. Just a quick background... It has the Pamco/PM swap, kick only and a Tripple I battery. When I give it a little throttle the lights dim. I havent had time to diagnose it cuz I'm still at work...

Received my Pamco high out put ignition today. I've put together plenty of spark plug wires but never caps. I have an idea of how it goes but i dont want to mess anything up especially the coil side. Can someone shoot me a link on how to put these caps together? Googled and came up with nothing...

Tried ordering the slim line master cyl. from MikesXS but they are out of stock. Is there any other options out there? I'd wait but I want to spend the cash while I still have it. Thanks

I may be blind... Does Mikes XS have a phone #? I went to order the high out put Pamco IGN 2 days ago and it said they were out of stock. I just want to know when they are available. I did email him but i understand he's (they) are probably busy. Thanks

Hello all. I want to first thank this site and all the folks that contribute info. I've gained so much knowledge and ideas on where my first build's going to go. I have an '81 thats going to be kick start only have just head light, tail light and rear turn signals. Finally my small battery...

Hello all. No time to use the search function sorry. What is the benefits to using a 2-1 intake? This would be on a stock motor. Thanks
