Hey Guys, I switched over from my capacitor over to an Antigravity battery. The bike starts/runs a lot stronger but now it blows fuses as RPMs rise to mid-range. This bike never blew a few before, all I did was change the battery. Voltage regulator is new last season. I redid my wiring last...

Hi Guys, I'm swapping out my 72 motor for an 82. In order to swap over my Pamco I'll need to install bushings on each side for the advance rod. I read here that I can use three metal bushings instead of the labyrinth seals -- and that I should be able to install them by hand. The bushings...

Hi Fellas, I'm looking to swap motors from a 72 to an 82. I'd like to retain my BS-38s carbs though. Are the carb holder holes on later models the same distance apart? I.E. can I swap over my BS-38 carbs and holders onto a 82 engine? Are there any other issues with putting an 82 engine into a...

Hi everyone, I did some searching and couldn't find a thread covering this. On my bike, I have the stock '72 master cylinder, caliper and brake line. I bought the TC Bros Custom Stainless Braided Brakeline to accomedate new bars and the greater distance between the master cylinder and the...

Hey Guys, Last night I installed countershaft and pushrod seals on my 72. This isn't my first time installing seals but is in my first on this motor. I put the new seals in the freezer prior to installation and made sure to file any sharp edges on the case. I didn't chamfer the edges...

Hi Everyone, I took apart my clutch in order to install new friction and steel plates. Unfortunately, I didn't make a mark at the original position of the pressure plate. Now that I'm reassembling, I can't tell where the pressure plate is suppose align with the inner hub. I'm aware that...
