hey guys just have a quick question i see a lot of guys with aftermarket mufflers on their bikes and im just wondering if its possible to cut the header pipes to a desired length and slip the mufflers over them or are there headers that i need to buy to do that, im just not sure if the area...

hi i just bought side covers and the whole side cover grommet and latch kit for my 79 xs650 because it didnt have any before but i have no idea how to assemble the whole grommet and latch assembly can anyone help

ok an update today i took the rotor off from the alternator assembly and the key is there and intact so i guess that can be knocked off the list of possibilities

ok i lined up the tdc mark and for the right cylinder the pin is pointing straight up and for the left cylinder the pin is pointing straight down so i guess that could rule out the chain being stretched, one thing im not sure if i mentioned this before but once i replaced the points thats when...
