Or if your bored and cheap. Take some round bar drill it out and tap it. Presto you made your on bungs.

No need to be sorry Pete. I Thank You for the caution and all the advice you have given me and in past posts that I have read. You have helped alot of people out and I'm sure you have'nt heard the last of me. lol

Will do Pete. I've been a diesel mechanic for 15yrs and I don't play around when it comes to safety. Hell I will probably have on my full welding gear with safty googles and a sandblast hood over that. LOL

I will go with kit 14-0915 then. Thanks Alot for the info Pete:thumbsup:

Do not eat your potato after using it to decarbonize your exhaust. LOL

I have a 82xs, Have the parts to do a PM charging system swap on the way. But before I do that swap I want to replace the factory ignition with a Pamco and adjust the valves. I know I will need all the parts to do this but which kit would I be better off with and WHY?? 14-0902 which has the...

I was torn between G&L and Elswick. I went with Elswick mostly because he answered the phone both times I called. I let you know how it looks in about another week.

Thanks for that info but I don't plan on swapping to a 21" wheel anytime soon. Once I get the bike apart on sitting 4 1/2 inches off the work bench I'll just break out the tape measure and angle finder and ge tsome ballpark numbers that way. I was just thinking someone that has recently raked...

Thank You for posting this!

Got mine today. Everything was as pictured and fast service. Thanks Again

I have'nt had any probs yet, but its close. If the chain was to get to loose it might make contact but I keep it adjusted. And I ride it often.

I'm sticking withthe factory 19front and 16rear for now but will rake it to 37degrees with factory forks and stretch the rear 5inches. Hows Annapolis? I love that area was stationed there in the Navy in the early 90's. Spent alot of time in the Glen Burnie area chasing skirts.LOL

To those of you that have raked your stock frame 35-40degress. How much ground clearance in the front would you say that you lost once you raked it???I would like to go with 37degrees and use the stock forks but don't want the front sitting lower than the back and end up having to buy...

Put the MIG to work. Alot of people are on the "Oh it's not TIG welded band wagon" And before that they were the same one's on the "Oh it's not MIG welded band wagon". Hell I would stick weld mine except I've been spoiled by my mig and I hate grinding. lol

I spoke with someone from Elswick Cycles (Going to buy the hardtail from them)today about ground clearance and was told that 4 1/2" - 5" is a good number. I measured how much ground clearance I have now and its's 6.25" without me on it. This is running a Firestone 5.00-16 on the rear and a...

Getting ready to order a 4"stretch hardtail. How much ground clearance would you guys go with? I want it to sit low but not so low that I can't ride around a curve without draging. Bike will also be raked to 35degrees and using stock forks for now. Thank You

Welcome to the site. Lots of great info/people here. I'm from Dade City near North Tampa. Currently collecting parts to chop my bike. Hope to be done by Bike week.

I like this one also. Made me want to get out from in front of computer and go do something...

In the next month or two I will be ready to start tearing down my bike (82xs). I have been doing alot of research here and other sites. I'm thinking before I tear it down I should go ahead and swap in a Pamco ignition then do a PM charging system conversion (kickstart only) using the smallest...

Did you remove the factory clear coat off of it first? You can use easy off oven cleaner to do this also.
