VM34 carbs. New cables built by Barnett. Pictures to come

Anyone running a TC throttle having issues with excess slop in the throttle? I mean, a lot. I'm probably getting 30 deg of turn on the throttle before I start pulling the cable. It was the same way before I changed the bars and cable, so I doubt it is that, and if I adjust the cable until I get...

Can anyone tell me off hand if the riser mounting bolts are 1/2 x 13 on stock XS trees? I need to order new risers and bushings and just want to make sure I an getting the right stuff. Thanks.

Sweet .. let me know when you are heading down and we will plan on meeting up somewhere

I'm in Biloxi so a few hours

The main reason I took it somewhere to have the bars done was that I dont have a garage nor do I really have the time right now. I know in having to order custom cables that the bike would have to sit torn apart for a period of time and I didnt want it sitting that way in my driveway. A mechanic...

Thanks for all the help guys. I was able to get her going again. Ended up that the slides got switched from one carb to the other. The mechanic never figured it out. I ended up being the one to fix it. Too bad we messed with everything else on the carbs before I figured it out and now I need to...

Tank has fuel. Took one of the fuel lines and filter off and it was full of fuel. Will being replacing those eventually anyway just so they both match. Any other thoughts?

Yes an '82 with a big bore kit and PMA. I have only messed with the sprung screw on the outside of the carbs. When I first pulled the air filters I did notice the slides were not 100% even, so I adjusted the throttle cable at the top of the carbs until the both just barely closed the slide 100%...

Ok guys, I need your help. I took my bike to a local shop to have new 12" apes installed. I get a call Tuesday saying that it's ready. I go today to pick it up, pay the guy $400 (I supplied the bars and new clutch and throttle cables), go to start my bike and it wont run. Now I rode the bike to...

Anyone planning on going to Thunder Beach in Panama City Beach, FL next month? Maybe we can set plans to meet up somewhere.

Ok guys, I searched around and didn't exactly find what I was looking for. Swapping my drag bar for a set of Biltwell 12" Apes w/ 2" risers. Anyone have a length for the throttle and clutch cables. I have talked with Barnett and they sent me the drawings, and they looked right. I just need to...

Isnt that for 7/8" bars?

Anyone have a Springer they would be willing to part with?

I thought the stock was 13mm piston... if its 14mm that is just over 1/2" so I should be able to use 1/2" piston without any noticeable difference right?

I suppose the best question is what difference in braking performance would I see from running a mc with a 14mm piston vs the stove 13mm.

jet, I looked at Dime City, but everything I see is double the price of the HHB part, and in my opinion doesn't look as good... btw just noticed you are a fellow Mississippian.... next time you head south to the coast, look me up... Im in Gulfport/Biloxi

Looking for new handlebar controls. Originally was looking at the HHB master cylinder, but with me running 1" bars, that is no longer an option. Any good suggestions that won't break the bank and will give some improved braking performance? thanks.

HAHA, play on words there in the title. In all seriousness, a metallurgist I am not, so advice is needed. Been thinking about using brass parts here and there throughout my build, but I have concerns. Mainly, if the brass or other metals with corrode or otherwise self destruct from coming into...

I'm in a bit of the same boat. I have emailed a couple different people that made some of these parts with zero replies. If there is anyone making or modifying the stock worm I haven't been able to find them. Would be a big help if someone does.
